902 Part VI: Measuring and Trading Volatility
|
||||
Each of the risk measures can be derived mathematically by taking the partial
|
||||
derivative of the model. However, there is a shortcut approximation that works just
|
||||
as well. For example, the formula for gamma is as follows:
|
||||
x=ln[ P ]/v-ft+v-ft
|
||||
s X (1 + r)t 2
|
||||
r - e(-x212)

There is a simpler, yet correct, way to arrive at the gamma. The delta is the par
|
||||
tial derivative of the Black-Scholes model with respect to stock price - that is, it is
|
||||
the amount by which the option's price changes for a change in stock price. The
|
||||
gamma is the change in delta for the same change in stock price. Thus, one can
|
||||
approximate the gamma by the following steps:
|
||||
1. Calculate the delta with p = Current stock price.
|
||||
2. Set p = p + 1 and recalculate the delta.
|
||||
3. Gamma = delta from step 1 - delta from step 2.
|
||||
The same procedure can be used for the other "greeks":
|
||||
Vega: 1. Calculate the option price with a particular volatility.
|
||||
2.
|
||||
3.
|
||||
Theta: 1.
|
||||
2.
|
||||
3.
|
||||
Rho: 1.
|
||||
2.
|
||||
3.
|
||||
Calculate another option price with volatility increased by 1 %.
|
||||
Vega = difference of the prices in steps 1 and 2.
|
||||
Calculate the option price with the current time to expiration.
|
||||
Calculate the option price with 1 day less time remaining to expiration.
|
||||
Theta = difference of the prices in steps 1 and 2.
|
||||
Calculate the option price with the current risk-free interest rate.
|
||||
Calculate the option price with the rate increased by 1 % .
|
||||
Rho = difference of the prices in steps 1 and 2.

THE GAMMA OF THE GAMMA
|
||||
The discussion of this concept was deferred from earlier sections because it is some
|
||||
what difficult to grasp. It is included now for those who may wish to use it at some
|
||||
time. Those readers who are not interested in such matters may skip to the next sec
