ipa financial contracts Swaption python API not working for call_put = 'PUT'

I am trying to to use the Swaption Pricer via the Python Eikon Api, and it seems that the functionality does not work if the Swaption is specified as a call option. For a put option I get reasonable results, but for a call option I only get None values. See below example:


This one works:


swapDef = ipa.swap.Definition(start_date='2022-10-26', end_date='2030-10-26',

... template='EUR_AB3E')

... swaptionDef = [(ipa.swaption.Definition(instrument_tag="mySwaption",

... end_date='2022-10-26',

... strike_percent=2.2,

... buy_sell=ipa.enum_types.BuySell.BUY,

... call_put=ipa.enum_types.CallPut.PUT,

... exercise_style=ipa.enum_types.ExerciseStyle.EURO,

... underlying_definition=swapDef),

... ipa.swaption.CalculationParams(valuation_date='2022-06-23'))]

...

... valuationResult = rdp.get_swaption_analytics(

... universe=swaptionDef,

... calculation_params=ipa.swaption.CalculationParams(valuation_date=trade_date),

... fields=['MarketValueInDealCcy'])

valuationResult

MarketValueInDealCcy

0 24137.521123



But with the same input, except using call_put=ipa.enum_types.CallPut.CALL, I'll get None values:


swapDef = ipa.swap.Definition(start_date='2022-10-26', end_date='2030-10-26',

... template='EUR_AB3E')

... swaptionDef = [(ipa.swaption.Definition(instrument_tag="mySwaption",

... end_date='2022-10-24',

... strike_percent=2.2,

... buy_sell=ipa.enum_types.BuySell.BUY,

... call_put=ipa.enum_types.CallPut.CALL,

... exercise_style=ipa.enum_types.ExerciseStyle.EURO,

... underlying_definition=swapDef),

... ipa.swaption.CalculationParams(valuation_date='2022-06-23'))]

...

... valuationResult = rdp.get_swaption_analytics(

... universe=swaptionDef,

... calculation_params=ipa.swaption.CalculationParams(valuation_date=trade_date),

... fields=['MarketValueInDealCcy'])

...

valuationResult

MarketValueInDealCcy

0 None



Could there be a bug in the pricer?

Hi @olga.schulz

The 'callput' is not supported for swaptions, could you try instead 'swaptionType' (Payer/Receiver) as illustrated below?

Thanks,

Regards

Michel
