Great work, thanks for posting this, Anthony.

Two questions.

1) Is it ok to modify the "max" value of the underlying price and
strike parameters to allow analyzing index options (SPX, NDX). For
NDX the max value would have to be set at 5000 (in case it ever goes
that far).

2) Is it ok to modify the "max" value of Days2Exp to allow analyzing
leaps? The value of 800 (just over 3 years) would be needed.

I've never gone any deeper into the pricing formula and I'm not sure
if there are some extra adjustments done for index options and for
leaps.

Regards,

Lesmond
