Matt,
 
I'd love to have it, especially if you add all the greeks (delta beingthe 
most important). What do you mean by 'slow' and 'very slow'? Is it dependent on 
the clock speed of your PC? 
 
Thanks.

Subject: [amibroker] Option Pricing 
DLL
I have finally written my option pricing DLL. It provides a 
function tocalculate an option's Theoretical Value (slow) and another 
function tocalculate an option's Implied Volatility (very slow). Adding 
morefunctions (eg. the greeks) shouldn't be too hard.If anyone 
wants a copy, let me know, or give me simple (:-) instructionson how to 
upload it to the 3rd party site. I am offering the DLL, twosample 
indicators, and the source code (VC++). The documentationconsists of 
comments in the indicators' code only - if you don't understandoptions, 
this DLL probably isn't for you.TJ, is there any way to have a plugin 
return multiple values? Could itbe done by passing in arguments that the 
plugin modifies? Would thiswork for arrays and simple values? I ask this 
because the IV calculationeffectively calculates delta, and adding 
some/all of the other greeksshould be trivial as well, but calling 
multiple functions is toooo sloooow(since, for example, the IV calculation 
uses a simple form of Newton-Raphson, which calculates the TV 3 - 4 times 
on average, each of whichis already fairly "expensive").Even if a 
plugin can return multiple values, could they be displayed indifferent 
graphs/panes? Displaying the IV and the TV in the same paneis pointless 
since their scales are so different (though you probably havesome clever 
way of fixing that? :-).Regards,Matt Atterbury
