Chapter 8: How Traders Manage Their Risks
8.2 当波动率变化2%时，交易组合价格增长200×2＝400美元。
8.3 两种情形均为0.5*30*4=60美元
中国图书资料分类法8.4 1000 份期权短头寸的Delta 等于-700，可以通过买入700 份股票的形式使交易组合达到Delta 中性。 8.5 Theta为-100的含义是指在股价与波动率没有变化的情况下，期权价格每天下降100美元。假如交易员认为股价及隐含波动率在将来不会改变，交易员可以卖出期权，并且Theta值越高越好。
8.6当一个期权承约人的Gamma绝对值较大，Gamma本身为负，并且Delta等于0，在市场变化率较大的情况下，期权承约人会有较大损失。
8.8 看涨及看跌期权的多头头寸都具备正的Gamma，由图6.9可以看出，当Gamma为正时，
对冲人在股票价格变化较大时会有收益,而在股票价格变化较小时会有损失，因此对冲人在（b）情形收益更好，当交易组合包含期权的空头头寸时，对冲人在（a）情形收益会更好。
8.9 Delta的数值说明当欧元汇率增长0.01时，银行交易价格会增加0.01*30000=300美元，Gamma的数值说明，当欧元价格增长0.01时，银行交易组合的Delta会下降0.01*80000=800美元； 为了做到Delta中性，我们应该卖出30000欧元；
当汇率增长到0.93时，我们期望交易组合的Delta下降为（0.93-0.9）*80000=24000，组合价值变为27600。为了维持Delta中性，银行应该对2400数量欧元空头头寸进行平仓，这样可以保证欧元净空头头寸为27600。
当一个交易组合的Delta为中性，同时Gamma为负时资产价格有一个较大变动时会引起损失。因此银行可能会蒙受损失。

The gamma and vega of a delta-neutral portfolio are 50 per $ per $ and 25 per %, respectively. Estimate what happens to the value of the portfolio when there is a shock to the market causing the underlying asset price to decrease by $3 and its volatility to increase by 4%.
With the notation of the text, the increase in the value of the portfolio is
This is
0.5 × 50 × 32 + 25 × 4 = 325
The result should be an increase in the value of the portfolio of $325.

Consider a one-year European call option on a stock when the stock price is $30, the strike price is $30, the risk-free rate is 5%, and the volatility is 25% per annum. Use the D
erivaGem software to calculate the price, delta, gamma, vega, theta, and rho of the option. Verify that delta is correct by changing the stock price to $30.1 and recomputing the option price. Verify that gamma is correct by recomputing the delta for the situation where the stock price is $30.1. Carry
out similar calculations to verify that vega, theta, and rho are correct.
The price, delta, gamma, vega, theta, and rho of the option are 3.7008, 0.6274, 0.050, 0.1135, −0.00596, and 0.1512. When the stock price increases to 30.1, the option price increases to 3.7638. The change in the option price is 3.7638 − 3.7008 = 0.0630. Delta predicts a change in the option price of 0.6274 × 0.1 = 0.0627 which is very close. When the stock price increases to 30.1, delta increases to 0.6324. The size of the increase in delta is 0.6324 − 0.6274 = 0.005. Gamma predicts an increase of 0.050 × 0.1 = 0.005 which is (to three decimal places) the same. When the volatility increases from 25% to 26%, the option price increases by 0.1136 from 3.7008 to 3.8144. This is consistent with the vega value of 0.1135. When the time to maturity is changed from 1 to 1−1/365 the opt
ion price reduces by 0.006 from 3.7008 to 3.6948. This is consistent with a theta of −0.00596. Finally, when the interest rate increases from 5% to 6%, the value of the option increases by 0.1527 from 3.7008 to 3.8535. This is consistent with a rho of 0.1512.

A financial institution has the following portfolio of over-the-counter options
on sterling:
Type | Position | Delta of Option | Gamma of Option | Vega of Option |
Call | −1,000 | 0.50 | 2.2 | 1.8 |
Call琼斯皇 | −500 | 0.80 | 0.6 | 0.2 |
Put | −2,000 | −0.40 | 1.3 | 0.7 |
Call | −500 | 0.70 | 1.8 | 1.4 |
| | | | |
A traded option is available with a delta of 0.6, a gamma of 1.5, and a vega
of 0.8.
(a) What position in the traded option and in sterling would make the portfolio
both gamma neutral and delta neutral?
(b) What position in the traded option and in sterling would make the portfolio
both vega neutral and delta neutral?
The delta of the portfolio is
−1, 000 × 0.50 − 500 × 0.80 − 2,000 × (−0.40) − 500 × 0.70 = −450
The gamma of the portfolio is
−1, 000 × 2.2 − 500 × 0.6 − 2,000 × 1.3 − 500 × 1.8 = −6,000
The vega of the portfolio is
−1, 000 × 1.8 − 500 × 0.2 − 2,000 × 0.7 − 500 × 1.4 = −4,000
(a) A long position in 4,000 traded options will give a gamma-neutral portfolio since the long position has a gamma of 4, 000 × 1.5 = +6,000. The delta of the whole portfolio (including traded options) is then:
4, 000 × 0.6 − 450 = 1, 950
Hence, in addition to the 4,000 traded options, a short position in £1,950 is necessary so that the portfolio is both gamma and delta neutral.
(b) A long position in 5,000 traded options will give a vega-neutral portfolio since the long position has a vega of 5, 000 × 0.8 = +4,000. The delta of the whole portfolio (including traded options) is then
mrpk5, 000 × 0.6 − 450 = 2, 550
Hence, in addition to the 5,000 traded options, a short position in £2,550 is necessary so that the portfolio is both vega and delta neutral.

Consider again the situation in Problem 8.17. Suppose that a second traded option with a delta of 0.1, a gamma of 0.5, and a vega of 0.6 is available. How could the portfolio be made delta, gamma, and vega neutral?
Let w1 be the position in the first traded option and w2 be the position in the second traded option. We require:
6, 000 = 1.5w1 + 0.5w2
4, 000 = 0.8w乙醇钠1 + 0.6w2
The solution to these equations can easily be seen to be w1 = 3,200, w2烧酒器具 = 2,400. The whole portfolio then has a delta of
−450 + 3,200 × 0.6 + 2,400 × 0.1 = 1,710
Therefore the portfolio can be made delta, gamma and vega neutral by taking a long position in 3,200 of the first traded option, a long position in 2,400 of the second traded option and a short position in £1,710.
8.19. (Spreadsheet Provided)
Reproduce Table 8.2. (In Table 8.2, the stock position is rounded to the nearest 100 shares.) Calculate the gamma and theta of the position each week. Using the DerivaGem Applications Builders to calculate the change in the value of the portfolio each week (before the rebalancing at the end of the week) and check whether equation (8.2) is approximately satisfied. (Note: DerivaGem produces a value of theta “per calendar day.” The theta in equation 8.2 is “per year.”)
