you've taught me more than my prof with a PHD ever could
you made it look very easy that with hedging you almost not lose any money eg the low P5, but if the price dips 50% then your long shares are in 50% loss so i am not really sure about that profit distributions.
Your videos are amazing, I'm currently doing a Bsc in mathematical finance and these videos are so inspiring to me. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the excellent video, you make it so easy to understand!
Briliant explanation
when you calculated the original stock pnl, why is 102.59-102 instead of 102.69-102 @5:59
I am just buying low volatility and selling hi volatilty at same time using different stocks of a list.....very profitable; for me makes more sense "hedging" each leg of my cheap options with expensive ones, not using the stock itself
How were you calculating P5, P95, mean - via Monte Carlos Analysis?
This is super-useful! Silly Q - how do you control the change the hedge frequency from say monthly to weekly (daily etc.).....do you keep the number of steps constant and only change the time step; "dt"? Thanks!
Hey! I have a question. On your code, the number of weeks is set to 11. The option had an expiry of appx 2 months and you had converted that to years and divided by 11 to get each time step. My question is, if i take smaller time steps and delta hedged, lets say instead of 11, I delta hedged every day, lets say instead of 11, i put 100. Will the P/L distribution of delta hedge flatten out and be close to 0 ?
Thanks for your work, great channel. (ha ha ha, you slipped when you explained the short at 1:30, but thats all good, well explained as such).
How do you model the delta in your simulation? You can simulate a random walk with a previously set volatility, but then you need market volatility to calculate the delta on each step. Which vol do you use there?
set the speed to 0.75 is much better :))
Nice graphs
Oh lord, why do I find Option trading so difficult. Where can I obtain introductory lessons on Options trading, all that Gamma and stuff😵
awesome
Hi Jonathan, I happen to find your channel and would like to know whether you upload a video subsequent to understand market maker to explain how they predict the realized volatility. If you do can you let me know which video is it? Thanks!
THanks, I learned a lot
I assume the simulations are based on Black Scholes for the profit calculations?
