Barrier Otions Greeks( Partial derivatives)

<t>I am doing this for a product, if closed form solutions for Greeks used in the Black Scholes world that will be more accurate than any numerical approximation.Though I am in the process deriving the Greeks for barrier using pricing formulas given in "The Complete Guide to Option Pricing Formulas,...

Barrier Otions Greeks( Partial derivatives)

<t>Hi All,I am working on Barrier options pricing( using closed form solutions- Reiner and Rubinstein 1991) and I want tom derive its sensitivities with partial differentiation of the closed form solutions( delta , gamma,vega, theta and Rho). As it is a tedious process, partial differentiation of ab...

aggregate portfolio delta of different underlying assets

Ho to compute aggregate portfolio delta when portfolio contains several combinations related to different underlying assets.As I Know, the delta of option positions on the same underlying asset can be evaluated by mere summation of corresponding deltas. Please give you inputsRegards,

Pricing of American options on dividend paying stocks through Montecarlo methods

if you know how much dividend you are going to get in discrete times, you can annualized that dividend and use in GBM equation as Darou suggested

options portfolio delta corresponding to different underlyings

<t>Ho to compute options portfolio delta corresponding to different underlyings? As I Know, the risks of option positions on the same underlying asset can be evaluated by mere summation of corresponding Greeks. However, this does not work when the portfolio contains several combinations related to d...

Average Price Option - Curran Model - strike?

<t>Hi Alan,Shoul I compare Curran's Asian option pricing rersults with GBM( Geometric Brownain Motion)- Monte Carlos Simultaions? and validate it up to six degits.If this is the case,when I compared GBM-Monte Carlo asian options prices (100,000 simulations, with out any variance reduction techniques...
