even MTM=0, counterparty(in this case the Bank) requires a collateral.Then, how much(what percentage) of the MTM should be sent to the bank as collateral? Is this percentage(amount) differs from one bank to another?

Black Scholes Greeks

Black Scholes Greeks

<t>Thank you very much for your help acastaldo. But there is something that I could not get the logic.As it is known, delta and gamma are first and second derivative(with respect to spot price) of BSM call price function. And vega, theta and rho are the first derivative of BSM call price with respec...
