hi guys ,thanx for ur helpwhat i ve done sofar is take the atm option and 25% otm options and 2 far otm options and interpolate from there seems to give good prices.
just a "better" model to price vanilla options.since all options are quoted on the screen, I thought interpolation would be usefull and relatively simple to do . a collegue thinks a model is better but i dont see why.
hi all,I was wondering what is better to determine the volatility smile for listed equity options: use a volatility model or an interpolation method like eg cubic splines
