  2. Calculating portfolio risk with

    Ultimately yes. I have already constructed the dependence between 2 stock payoffs using copula but Im not sure how to calculate the standard deviation. That's where Im stuck at. I also need to choose the best weights to invest in each stock. Thanks
  3. Calculating portfolio risk with

    Hello all, I need help. Im writing a diploma research and Im stuck at one point. So the story is as follows: I plan to create a portfolio of 2(for simplicity) assets with Markowitz portfolio selection model which takes linear dependency between assets into consideration. I did that thing and...
  4. C++ vs C#

    Interesting...
  5. C++ Book

    Not math focused book right? I already started reading what you recommended previously. It also seems very good since it explains the constructs of C++ in math language. Good one. Thanks
  6. Simpson Integral Algorithm

    It depends. You cannot derive the exact formula guiding you to select the n. Its depended on the scale of the function. There will be need to manually choose n for each function.
  7. American Options pricing

    General question: Is there an only way to price an American Option?
  8. Paul Willmot on quantitative finance

    Completely agree. I have defined some simulations algorithms in C++ and its much more effective in the same manner as Willmot uses and much faster in the same method construction. But you can easily translate the VBA code into the C++ code. The methodology is the same, just the syntax is different.

  12. Method Overloading

    Thank you very much Tsotne. Thanks everybody for attention
  13. Method Overloading

    Thank you Tsotne. I need to define the MMult (matrix multiplication) method in the same manner, now thinking of the algorithm. Any ideas? I have already taken your advice into account to cast them explicitly from the caller's scope
  14. C++ vs C#

    Why do recruiters ever prefer C++ over C#? As I read most of job requirements in this field C++ is being required in the vast majority of these cases. Can I replace C++ by knowing C#? Or it cannot be altered. Actually what I'm asking is if I can send the application to a job requiring C++ when I...
  15. Investments 7th VS 8th

    Actually there are several reasons to update the book every year even if it doesn't contain significant improvement: 1) To keep up with the sales rate in order to maintain reputation and popularity. 2) To increase the revenue by charging higher price even if the book is basically the same as...
