relationship between gamma and convexity for option on bond future

June 17th, 2004, 7:26 pm

Does anyone know what the relationship between the gamma of the option and the convexity of the option and the underlying is? I know that for delta - Delta = (Po X Do) / (Pu X Du) where - Po = Price of option Do = Duration of option Pu = Price of underlying bond / future Du = Duration of underlying bond / future Does anyone know something similar for gamma? I tried deriving it and got - Gamma = (Co X Po - Cu X Po X (Do / Du)) / (Pu X Du)^2I don't get correct results using this, so obviously something is incorrect. Please Help.
