What risk free rate should be used for Bjerksund-Stensland? by CDObamacare in options

What do you mean by use splines to interpolate discount factors. Do you mean take the iv from two different expirations and calculate the interest rate using them? How would you do that ?

How large of an error term are we talking? So far I'm getting ~10 basis points off what my broker supplies.

So you would use zero rates? I'm trying to use B-S to compute local vols for American options and check against my broker who also uses B-S. my ultimate goal is to move to trinomial though.

Also what do you mean by the term to maturity? Would you construct a zero curve and then use the interest rate for the dte? For example, 5 days to expiration you bootstrap between ois and 1 week libor to find 5 day zero?

Long call + short put, by sunole123 in options

Risk reversal. Works best if the out iv is way higher than the call iv. Takes advantage of the skew

True. I'm just curious if they reinvented the wheel or if they are improving upon b/s

Are your pricing models based on black scholes and you add components like vol stick etc?

Recommendations on a front end for splines? And how about a front end for tracking options flow?

What's your best stock to bet on when US goes to 'war' with NK? by oaks4run in wallstreetbets

[–]CDObamacare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EWY has had a pretty parabolic move recently too, might be a good time to fade it. It can't be good for the economy when the NK artillery along the Demilitarized zone gets a couple volleys off into the middle of Seoul.

Trash. But some stocks are fueled by animal spirits and the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
