7 Regular European Swaptons Regular could be nterpreted that the swapton has the features of the broker. Conventons depend on currences. Typcal conventons for EUR swapton volatltes are: - fx bass: 30/360, fx frequency: 12m - float bass: Actual/360, float frequency: 3m (maturty=1 year), 6m (maturty>1 year) - calendar: TARGET - adjustment: modfed followng - settlement style: cash Broker quotes of mpled volatltes follow typcally a swap market model. Swap market model soluton for an European swapton s the well known Black76 prcng formula. QuantLb engne: BlackSwaptonEngne November 30th,
