Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligation.
The instrument prices a mezzanine CDO tranche with loss given default between attachment point  and detachment point
 and detachment point  .
.
For purchased protection, the instrument value is given by the difference of the protection value  and premium value
 and premium value  ,
,

The protection leg is priced as follows:

The pricing algorithm allows for varying notional amounts and default termstructures of the underlyings.

When a derived argument structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to fill it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.
Reimplemented from Instrument.

When a derived result structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to read from it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.
