<t>I don't know if it is actually used in the market, but you can try to use Breeden and Litzenberger to determine the cross currency CDF for the illiquid pair, and thereby price the option. At university I wrote a paper investigating this problem in the context of pricing cross-currency forward opt...

<t>I want to understand the quoting conventions for options on forex forwards. Can anyone recommend a site or paper that could assist me in this regard. For example, if I have a volatility quote for a 25-delta straddle, does this quote mean that I am buying a 25-delta put and a 25-delta call? What a...
