Category: QuantSupport - Instruments.

QS.INSTRUMENT.EQUITY.OPTION(name: text, context: text, expiry_date: text, market_index: text, currency: text, strike: number, option_type: text, day_counter: text, expiry_tenor: text or blank) → text handle
Parameters:

  • name (text) – Workbook-unique object name; unchanged recalculation reuses its current handle

  • context (text) – Required prepared context handle used to build concrete dates and initial contractual terms; construction waits for committed market inputs

  • expiry_date (text) – ISO date text in YYYY-MM-DD format

  • market_index (text) – Market index, for example SOFR; prefixes include Equity:, Credit:, FX:, and Collateral:

  • currency (text) – Three-letter ISO currency code, for example USD or EUR

  • strike (number) – Absolute equity strike in the instrument currency per underlying unit

  • option_type (text) – Option type: Call or Put

  • day_counter (text) – Required day-count convention, for example Actual360, Actual365, or Thirty360; no blank-input default

  • expiry_tenor (text or blank) – Optional expiry offset from evaluation, e.g. 1Y; leave expiry_date blank; built from the explicit construction context

Returns:

Concrete instrument handle built using the supplied construction context. #N/A means construction is pending; no unresolved product handle is published. Pass it to QS.EVALUATE, or use QS.TRADE.CREATE for side, execution date/tenor, quantity or bond anchor.

Return Type:

text handle

Errors:

#VALUE! for invalid contract terms, missing dependencies, native builder errors or registry failures.
