He switched back to VBA and started typing. He didn’t copy-paste. He wanted to feel the logic. He declared his variables: x0 As Double , x1 As Double , tolerance As Double . He wrote a function called NewtonRaphson(FunctionName As String, guess As Double) .

He had spent two hours trying to use Excel’s Goal Seek. It was slow, clunky, and kept crashing when the volatility spiked above 200%. He needed speed. He needed precision. He needed the Newton Raphson method. How To Code the Newton Raphson Method in Excel VBA.pdf

Then he turned to Page 4.

Do While Abs(x1 - x0) > tolerance fx0 = Application.Run(FunctionName, x0) fx0_plus_delta = Application.Run(FunctionName, x0 + delta) derivative = (fx0_plus_delta - fx0) / delta x1 = x0 - fx0 / derivative x0 = x1 Loop He linked it to his volatility model—a user-defined function named PriceError() that returned the difference between the market price and the model price. He declared his variables: x0 As Double ,
