问题如下:
A trader has an option position in crude oil with a delta of 100000 barrels and gamma of -50000 barrels per dollar move in price. Using the delta-gamma methodology, compute the VaR on this position, assuming the extreme move on crude oil is $2.00 per barrel.
选项:
A. $100,000
B. $200,000
C. $300,000
D. $400,000
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Mapping to Option Position
解析:
VAR(df)=∆×VAR(ds)+1/2Γ×VAR(ds)2
VAR(df)=100000×(-2)+1/2×
请问为什么extreme move on crude oil可以认为是crude oil的VAR呢?这样的表达很常见吗?
