Stupid Question: options vs warrants vs optionsscheine

<t>Hi A, well the way I see it is that Option is a very general term and usually can mean any kind of option, whether it is over the counter or publically traded. Usually Warrants/Optionsscheine are instruments which are publically traded. Warrants and Optionsscheine (as it is in german) are indeed ...

Depending on days

Finally someone with a hint. :-) Thank you very very much for this outrun. I will look it up but I think it's the right one. There's not much literature for this. But maybe in some books. Thanks again!

Depending on days

Hi Fabio,thank you very much for your answer. Have you any idea what kind of monte carlo simulation I should run? My idea is to just use a Geometric Brownian Motion for the index and then simulate the index accordingly. After that I could write an algorithm for the days. Kind RegardsM

Depending on days

<t>Hello @ All,I am currently trying to value products which depend on days. This means I have a note which is linked to an index for example and at the end pays a certain redemption amount. This redemption amount is of course dependent on the notional and a days-factor. I therefore have to count th...

asian index certificates

<t> Hi everybody, I recently found certificates that were based on indexed like the DJGT or the DAX. They looked pretty straight forward at the beginning but the more and more I look into these things, the more complicated they get. And the worse my results are. The strange thing about these things ...

Well the purpose of my calculation is just for pricing. And up until now I don't have any other alternatives except geometric brownian motion simulation.thanks for your reply!!!

stock index simulation

<t>Hi gjlipman, thank you very much for your answer. Well the problem that I have is that for example I simulate the DAX over a period of 5 years and the final results are in the 8000 points. Well, even though, DAX has reached 7000 points now, I think its not very reasonable to believe that it will ...
