Meridian Mammoth Valuation Pricing Library - Forex Option Pricing Engine White Paper
This white paper explores the complexity of foreign exchange option pricing, emphasizing that its accuracy depends on a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including model selection, holiday effects, interest rate environment, exchange rate fluctuations, implied volatility, and market rules. Through various testing scenarios, the accuracy, stability, and universality of the pricing engine results are verified in the article, aiming to provide a scientific and reasonable pricing basis for foreign exchange option trading.

Supported Business Types

Simple options (European, American, Asian), exotic options (Barrier, Digital), structured forward (option combinations, combinations of simple options and exotic options)

Supports valuation (calculating premium) and pricing (reverse calculation of strike, etc.)

Characteristic Of The Plan

(1) Batch pricing and valuation

By setting calculation parameters, batch pricing is performed on options with different maturity dates and exercise prices, using proportional forward as an example:

(Excel version)

(Client version)

Set the basic parameters for long-term proportion setting

Lock in the option premium and report the exercise price in bulk based on the maturity date and trading volume ratio

Batch reporting of option fees through expiration date and exercise price

(2)Real time monitoring of exposure and sensitivity indicators

Pricing and valuation of transactions while keeping transaction records
Monitor the exposure position and profit and loss of real-time long swap foreign exchange
Real time monitoring of Delta and other sensitive indicator exposures for foreign exchange option derivatives
Rich market risk management functions: sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis
And the value at risk

(3)Transaction backtesting

Historical data of options market

The system stores 10 years of historical data, including historical exchange rate prices, volatility, and returns. These data can be used to backtest option trading strategies, view different backtesting indicators such as profit and loss, annualized returns, Sharpe's ratio, and maximum backtesting, and display changes in historical value and risk indicators. Provide data support for your trading strategy

Transaction backtesting

Backtesting option strategies to examine changes in value and risk

(4)Product Customization

The system supports product definition and constructs new portfolio products by setting the combination method of underlying assets.

For example, through (BUY 1) call@k1 +Sell 2 call@k2 )To define the structured products of RATIO SPREAD and generate contracts, so that account managers only need to be familiar with the elements of the RATIO SPREAD contract and PAYOFF, without the need for details of the option structure.

Defining Structure
Contract pricing
And the generated contract can be positively valued and negatively priced (determining STRIKE).

(5)Support API Calls

Provide development interfaces for C++, Python, and Java APIs

(6)Model Correction And Adjustment

During the pricing process, different pricing tools may use inconsistent calculation parameters, which may result in inconsistent calculation results. We can adjust the calculation parameters (usually DayCounter, Basis, etc.) based on the correction target you provide to achieve a result that is basically consistent with the correction target. Taking Bloomberg Terminal (OVML) as an example:

Correction of Currency Swap Rate Curve (SHIBOR3M) - Case 1

Correction of Currency Swap Rate Curve (SHIBOR3M) - Case 1

By adjusting the DayCounter for discounting and interest calculation, it is possible to achieve basic consistency with Bloomberg's system results:

zero_mkt: Zero interest rate calculated by Bloomberg system

zero_seq:The curve zero interest rate result optimized by (Sequential)

zero_glb:The curve zero interest rate result optimized by (Global)

diff_glb、diff_seq:Difference

Correction of Option Pricing - Case 1

Correction of Option Pricing - Case 1

By setting the DayCounter and interest rate parity calculation method, the difference between the pricing results of Bloomberg OVML can be achieved (1.15E-08).

Correction of Option Pricing - Case 2

Correction of Option Pricing - Case 2

By setting parameters, it is possible to achieve complete consistency with the pricing results of Reuters EIKON Excel

Note: If parameters are not set or corrected, the default calculation parameters given by different calculation tools will be different, and the results will also be different.
