The Medium of Contingency: An Inverse View of the Market

QuoteOriginally posted by: AnalyticalVegaso far nothing useful yet, but at least the book has an interesting way of explaining existing ideas. I will keep reading.A few people find this very useful: they call it an interpretation of an existing theory or technè, or again, philosophy.

The Medium of Contingency: An Inverse View of the Market

QuoteI hope Numbersix knows what he is doing when he now openly talks about the void.Since when has there been a pre-established way of talking openly about the void?I hope I don't know what I am doing, but that others will.That, too, my friend, is part of the inverse view.

New Book - The Blank Swan: The End of Probability by Elie Ayache

<t>I think the problem lies deeper than just 'error'.The thought of an objective stochastic process that the underlying asset would be following as a result of trading is an impeccable thought, and so is the thought that derivatives written on that underlying should be trading on the same floor.Why ...

New Book - The Blank Swan: The End of Probability by Elie Ayache

New Book - The Blank Swan: The End of Probability by Elie Ayache

<t>Let us put it this way, to simplify. I am building a tree to price the option, rolling backwards from the payoff. This is arbitrage free pricing so all the transitions take place with risk neutral probability. My tree has at least two space dimensions. One is the underlying price of course and th...

New Book - The Blank Swan: The End of Probability by Elie Ayache

<t>Implied volatility is another name for option price. Granted the option price varies for fixed S, t, V and for changing X.But then is not X something relating necessarily to the underlying process, such as jump size in case jumps are another component or volatility of volatility or what not?
