Continuing on the example above, suppose now that the initial price of Alice's house is $100,000 and that Bob enters into a forward contract to buy the house one year from today. But since Alice knows that she can immediately sell for $100,000 and place the proceeds in the bank, she wants to be compensated for the delayed sale.
Regarding the argument of Carr and Lee (2009), [3] in the case of the continuous- sampling realized volatility if we assumes that the contract begins at time =, () is deterministic and () is arbitrary (deterministic or a stochastic process) but independent of the price's movement i.e. there is no correlation between () and , and denotes by ...
A delta one product is a derivative with a linear, symmetric payoff profile. That is, a derivative that is not an option or a product with embedded options. Examples of delta one products are Exchange-traded funds, equity swaps, custom baskets, linear certificates, futures, forwards, exchange-traded notes, trackers, and Forward rate agreements.
The payoff of the call option on the futures contract is (, ()). We can consider this an exchange (Margrabe) option by considering the first asset to be () and the second asset to be riskless bonds paying off $1 at time .
The structure of the method is similar to the probability theory based Datar–Mathews method for real option valuation, [2] [3] but the method is not based on probability theory and uses fuzzy numbers and possibility theory in framing the real option valuation problem.
Any derivative instrument that is not a contingent claim is called a forward commitment. [ 3 ] The prototypical contingent claim is an option , [ 1 ] the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a specified exercise price by a certain expiration date; whereas ( vanilla ) swaps , forwards , and futures are forward commitments, since these ...
The assumption of the short seller is neutral, in that the seller would hope that the trade would expire worthless in-between the two contracts, thereby receiving their maximum profit. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Short strangles exhibit asymmetrical risk profiles, with larger possible maximum losses observed than the maximum gains to the upside.
A subtler issue is that expectation is very sensitive to assumptions about probability: a trade with a $1 gain 99.9% of the time and a $500 loss 0.1% of the time has positive expected value; while if the $500 loss occurs 0.2% of the time it has approximately 0 expected value; and if the $500 loss occurs 0.3% of the time it has negative expected ...
