Re: [Quantlib-users] How to use ql.FuturesRateHelper with EURIBOR futures trading on ICE Futures Europe (former LIFFE)

[ze73 m. <ze7...@ya...>]

 Hi Trent, looking at the underlying implementation here, these other contructors also verifies that the iborStartDate is an IMM date.

 The FuturesRateHelper constructor is overloaded. There is a definition that takes a start date and end date instead of calculating it internally. Try this one.

  I might be misunderstanding your last message, Trent. Take for example the 3-Month EuriBor Nov '23, expiring on 13 Nov 2024 (as also confirmed by ICE). What iborStartDate is ql.FuturesRateHelper expecting for this contract? I thought this needed a "type" argument different than Futures::IMM since none of these dates are IMM dates that are also not matching the dates obtained with ql.IMM.nextDate()?
Thank you!

  I’m looking at mine and they follow imm dates, monthly starts for the first six contracts then the standard imm dates for the next 6. Use ql.IMM.nextDate(date, False) to get the series of monthly IMM dates.
Then pass the start and end date to the futures rate helper constructor.

  Thanks, Trent. I followed your suggestion and created a new index.
However ql.FuturesRateHelper expects IMM futures and checks for IMM dates here so I get the error below. It seems the only way to use the rate helper with non-IMM futures is to add support for it in C++ and recompile quantlib? These futures are trading on ICE Futures Europe (Three Month Euribor Futures) and the expiration schedules are different. I don't see a way to use the underlying RateHelper class or /BootstrapHelper template in Python.
RuntimeError: November 13th, 2023 is not a valid IMM date
Any thoughts on this are welcome. Thanks, everyone!

  Create the IborIndex directly. https://quantlib-python-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/indexes.html#ql.IborIndex

 Hi QuantLib Gurus!
I am experimenting with ql.FuturesRateHelper to use this market data 3-Month EuriBor Futures Prices to evaluate if a EURIBOR forward curve created this way might be viable for my use-case. The index class ql.Euribor3M() in theory facilitates the setup however it represents the IMM index so the calendar is different, the expiration dates different, etc...
I did see a FuturesEU calendar in the QuantExt project derived from QuantLib, meant to represent the ICE Futures Europe calendar, which could be a starting point, but is there no standard ql.Euribor3M() equivalent in quantlib for ICE? Does anyone know of an example set up of a ICE Europe futures contract using quantlib, please? Would this warrant a new rate helper or at least new index class?
Kind regards
