Download or read book Testing the Implied Volatility Smile of a Lognormal Distribution on a 3 Month Danske Bank Call Option Contract Using the Option Delta written by Michel Guirguis and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the implied volatility smile of a lognormal distribution on a 3 - month Danske bank call option contract using the option delta. There is significant time variation in the implied volatility smile and the traditional Black - Scholes model can not explain this deviation. The Black - Scholes model is used to calculate the theoretical call option price. Applying a lognormal implied distribution help us to price the contract at a market price and get better estimates of a risk adjusted measure. Deep in or out of the money contract has higher implied volatility. We have found that the 3- month Danske bank call option contract is not overpriced relative to other call market prices. The 3 - month call contract with short maturity show high market standard deviation relative to the other call prices. Possible explanations of volatility smile are bid - ask spreads, transactions costs and leverage.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the implied volatility smile of a lognormal distribution on a on a 6 - month EUR/USD call currency option contract using a random standard normal variable. There is significant time variation in the implied volatility smile and the traditional Black - Scholes model can not explain this deviation. The Black - Scholes model is used to calculate the theoretical call option price. Applying a lognormal implied distribution help us to price the contract at a market price and get better estimates of a risk adjusted measure. Deep in or out of the money contract has higher implied volatility. We have found that the 6 - month EUR/USD call currency option contract is overpriced relative to other call market prices. The 6 - month call contract with long maturity show low market standard deviation relative to the other call prices when using a random standard normal variable. There are no speculation opportunities as the 6 - month EUR/USD call currency option is steep and the volatility is decreased.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the implied volatility smile of a lognormal distribution on a 3 - month Lundbeck call option contract using the Brownian motion. There is significant time variation in the implied volatility smile and the traditional Black - Scholes model can not explain this deviation. The Black - Scholes model is used to calculate the theoretical call option price. Applying a lognormal implied distribution using the Brownian motion help us to price the contract at a different market prices and get better estimates of a risk adjusted measure. Deep in or out of the money contract has higher implied volatility. We have found that the 3 - month Lundbeck call option contract is not overpriced relative to other call market prices. The 3 - month call contract with short maturity show high market standard deviation relative to the other call prices. Possible explanations of volatility smile are bid - ask spreads, transactions costs and leverage. The Brownian motion displays increased volatility of the 3 - month Lundbeck call contract that is due to the interaction of arbitrageurs and noise traders. In addition, brownian motion is used to show the dynamic behaviour of the real value of the 3 -month Lundbeck call contract using the fisher effect.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic models (ARCH), and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic models, (GARCH) take into account the non-linearity that arises in the financial time series. Well known anomalies such as the calendar effects, January effect and seasonality's have been studied indicating the weakness of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, (EMH) and showing the direction of a non random path for price changes. In this paper, we are going to test the implied volatility of a 3 - month Nordea bank call option contract returns, for changing conditional variances to spot any anomaly that contradict the validity of the Efficient Market Hypothesis.
Download or read book Modern Computational Finance written by Antoine Savine and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the strongest addition to numerical finance of the past decade, Algorithmic Adjoint Differentiation (AAD) is the technology implemented in modern financial software to produce thousands of accurate risk sensitivities, within seconds, on light hardware. AAD recently became a centerpiece of modern financial systems and a key skill for all quantitative analysts, developers, risk professionals or anyone involved with derivatives. It is increasingly taught in Masters and PhD programs in finance. Danske Bank's wide scale implementation of AAD in its production and regulatory systems won the In-House System of the Year 2015 Risk award. The Modern Computational Finance books, written by three of the very people who designed Danske Bank's systems, offer a unique insight into the modern implementation of financial models. The volumes combine financial modelling, mathematics and programming to resolve real life financial problems and produce effective derivatives software. This volume is a complete, self-contained learning reference for AAD, and its application in finance. AAD is explained in deep detail throughout chapters that gently lead readers from the theoretical foundations to the most delicate areas of an efficient implementation, such as memory management, parallel implementation and acceleration with expression templates. The book comes with professional source code in C++, including an efficient, up to date implementation of AAD and a generic parallel simulation library. Modern C++, high performance parallel programming and interfacing C++ with Excel are also covered. The book builds the code step-by-step, while the code illustrates the concepts and notions developed in the book.
