Manage Calculations

You can manage the Eagle Analytics calculations used by the standard FINCAD functions for option-adjusted spread, duration, and convexity analytics, as well as the functions for duration, mod duration, convexity, mod convexity, and basis point value computations. You can view/edit, create, duplicate, and delete calculations.

Calculations are initialized with imported Eagle package files and conventionally use the same naming convention as the underlying FINCAD function. The best practice is to duplicate an imported calculation and then apply any customizations to the copied calculation.
