# DiscreteHedging(1)

Example of using QuantLib

## NAME

DiscreteHedging - Example of using QuantLib

## SYNOPSIS

**DiscreteHedging**

## DESCRIPTION

**DiscreteHedging** is an example of using the *QuantLib* Monte Carlo simulation framework.

By simulation, **DiscreteHedging** computes profit and loss of a discrete interval hedging strategy and compares with the outcome with the results of Derman and Kamal's Goldman Sachs Equity Derivatives Research Note "When You Cannot Hedge Continuously: The Corrections to Black-Scholes".
