Will it be Gamma neutral?
大牛来说说吧 |
k****o 发帖数: 11 | 2 This problem can be found in Mark Joshi's book:
gamma neutral is equivalent to
\sum_{i=1}^n N(d_1(i))=0 (assuming time to maturity and vol are non-zero)
d_1(i) stands for d_1 for different options in your portfolio.
Hence, by comparing with formula from vega, that means
vega neutral as well. |

l*******1 发帖数: 113 | 4 vega1 = gamma1 * s^2 * vol * T1
vega2= gamma2 *s^2 * vol * T2
sum(vega) = 0 = s^2*vol*sum(gamma*T)
if T is the same, then vega neutral = gamma neutral.
If T is different, then its not equivalent. |

gamma is no longer black-scholes gamma even using BS pricer ...
