I tried to value a simple IRS in QuantLib and failed. I have few questions, which will probably help to resolve these issues. Would be super grateful for answers in these matters.
When I set up a valuation curve, e.g. valCurve = ql.RelinkableYieldTermStructure(SofrCurve). Sofr curve is built with PieacewiseLogCubicDiscount. But what about SofrCurve dates and rates? If I provided helpers for some days, does QuantLib interpolate between them? If no, how to do that?
I have a forward curve at the time during swap life and historical ON rates. Normally, you can value the swap. However, in QuantLib it seems that I need to build a curve at the start of the swap and the relink new curve? Is that true, is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you!
