Example text
So EURPLN options expire at 10am London time but EURHUF options at 11am. It would have been painful but why didn’t we choose spot prices for the relevant times rather than closing prices? First, intraday pricing data are not always available on a historical basis – clearly a limiting factor. Second, taking spot rates for different times would have caused mass confusion when pricing, say, a EURKRW option. Invariably USDKRW is taken from a KRW fixing and EURUSD from, say, the ECB fixing several hours later, so the crossed rate EURKRW may never have even appeared in the market.
As such, the corporate treasurer may rely on intuition, economic research or forecasts to determine whether the implied volatility is too high or too low and if the contract offers good value. For a dynamic trader volatility means something rather different. It is how volatile the underlying is during the journey to maturity of the contract and how much value can be extracted from this movement. An underlying could start and finish at the same level, but if it is extremely volatile in the intervening period the dynamic trader can make money.
Having stuck with us this far, the reader is justified in asking for some proof that these statements stand up to rigorous testing. This chapter bridges the gap between our claims and the solid proof that any successful corporate treasurer or option trader will rightly demand. One cannot simply quote results based on experience and hope that they are accepted. This is even truer when the ideas are in some way counter-intuitive to many people. At the same time, however, there are certain practical difficulties in performing the type of calculation necessary to identify relative value in derivatives markets.
