Re: [Quantlib-users] NPV method fails to generate valuations

Thanks.

I tried to enable extrapolation with below snippet -

std::vector<QuantLib::Date> sr_dt;
      std::vector<QuantLib::Real> sr_v;
      sr_dt.push_back(Date(15, February, 2002));
     sr_dt.push_back(Date(15, February, 2003));
     sr_dt.push_back(Date(15, February, 2004));
     sr_v.push_back(0);
     sr_v.push_back(3.5/100);
     sr_v.push_back(6/100);

        Handle<YieldTermStructure>
rhTermStructure(ext::make_shared<ZeroCurve>(sr_dt, sr_v,
Actual365Fixed()));
        rhTermStructure->enableExtrapolation();

However with this I am getting below error -

strike + displacement (-0.0621661 + 0) must be non-negative

Is there any better way to enable extrapolation?

Thanks again for your help.
