PnL Explained for options

November 22nd, 2011, 1:30 pm

Does anyone know of any nice source where I can see what "exactly" explains the daily change in an options price, when the underlying price moves and underlying implied vol moves.

PnL Explained for options

November 22nd, 2011, 3:22 pm

Options on what, and what are you trying to explain. Generally there are 3 methods: Taylor Series (where you get exposed to non-linearities), overlay (where you explain 100% of the P&L but don't see the non- linearities known casually as bumped) and bump and reset where you reset each parameter.Have seen some stuff where Theta has been broken up into the gamma component and a time component. Also seen some royal stuffing up around dividend curves etc.If that is what you are looking for I have a high-level introductory paper somewhere that explains some of these concepts. PM me if you want a copy.
