Hi,Not a big deal but could be tricky. We consider a vanilla European call option on some stock. Normally we have some lag between option trade date (t) and settle date (t+dt). Assuming option expiring at T, the "settle date" premium is PV = BS(t,T) / D(t,t+dt), where D(t,t+dt) is the discount factor between t and t+dt and BS(t,T) is the Black-Schoels price as if there is no time lag dt. My question is a) for Greeks, should we calculate them based on PV or BS(t,T)? b) anything special for "theta"? Thanks.
