Miletus is a financial software suite in Julia, with a financial contract specification language and extensive modelling features. In this talk, we’ll discuss the design principles involved in how to model a contract from primitive components, and how Julia’s language features lend themselves intuitively to this task. We’ll then talk about the various features of the software suite such as closed form models, binomial trees and computation of price sensitivities (aka “the Greeks”), providing several examples and code snippets, along with comparisons with other popular frameworks in this space.
