Vega-Weighted Least Squares and Bid-Ask Penalty Splines in SVI Optimizers

Unweighted implied volatility OLS gives a $0.05 nickel wing put with a 6-vol bid-ask spread the same pull as a 0.08-vol-wide ATM straddle, distorting ATM pricing.

Điểm chính: Inverse implied-volatility spread squared w_i = 1 / (IV_ask - IV_bid)^2 = Vega_i^2 / DollarSpread_i^2 is the statistically optimal Gauss-Markov weight across strikes.

Extended SSVI Term-Structure Rho Monotonicity Across Quarterly Listed Options

Hendriks and Martini’s Extended SSVI (eSSVI) relaxes SSVI’s constant correlation constraint by allowing tenor-dependent rho_t under explicit piecewise monotonicity gates.

Điểm chính: Extended SSVI (eSSVI) generalizes SSVI to tenor-dependent (theta_i, rho_i, psi_i) slices, cutting multi-tenor SPX RMSE by 46% (from 0.26 vol down to 0.14 vol).

Vomma (Volga, ∂2V/∂σ2) Wing Convexity: Why Short 5-Delta Strangles Blow Up

Analyze Black-Scholes Vomma (Volga, ∂2V/∂σ2) across option moneyness to understand why short 5-delta and 10-delta index strangles detonate during vol-of-vol spikes long before spot hits strikes.

Điểm chính: Vomma (also termed Volga, ∂2V/∂σ2 = Vega · d1 · d2 / σ) is nearly zero at-the-money where d1·d2 ≈ 0, but surges positively in 5-delta to 15-delta wings where d1·d2 >> 0.

Signed Dealer Gamma Reconstruction: Cboe Open-Close Data vs Naive OI GEX

Stop trusting naive "Call OI minus Put OI" GEX charts: learn how institutional desks reconstruct true signed dealer SPX gamma from Cboe Customer/Firm Open-Close transaction files and quote-rule signing.

Điểm chính: Naive retail GEX models assume customers sell 100% of calls and buy 100% of puts (treating dealers as long all call OI and short all put OI), producing up to 70% notional error!

Monthly Third-Friday AM-Settled SPX OPEX & 09:30 ET SOQ Gamma Unwinds

Dissect monthly third-Friday AM-settled SPX options expiration (OPEX): how the 09:30 ET Special Opening Quotation (SET) prints outside overnight ranges and why losing 35%–45% of open interest unpins the S&P 500.

Điểm chính: Standard third-Friday monthly S&P 500 options (root SPX, unlike PM-settled SPXW weeklies/0DTE) stop trading Thursday at 16:15 ET and cash-settle Friday morning to the Special Opening Quotation (ticker SET).

Whalley-Wilmott Discrete Gamma Hedging Bandwidths Under ES Transaction Costs

Stop bleeding transaction costs on continuous delta scalping: derive the Whalley-Wilmott cubic-root asymptotic no-trade bandwidth H* ∝ (c · S · Γ2 / γ_risk)^(1/3) for CME ES futures hedging.

Điểm chính: Under proportional bid-ask and market-impact costs c > 0 in CME ES futures, continuous Black-Scholes delta hedging incurs infinite cumulative turnover (Leland paradox) and destroys P&L!

Single-Stock Call-Skew Inversion & Dealer Short-Call Gamma Squeezes

Dissect the anatomy of single-stock upside gamma squeezes: how aggressive OTM call buying in high-short-interest equities inverts 25-delta skew, turns spot-vol correlation positive (ρ > +0.60), and forces simultaneous Gamma + Vanna dealer share buying.

Điểm chính: In normal S&P 500 index surfaces, spot-vol correlation is negative (ρ ≈ −0.75) and 25-delta puts trade 4 to 8 vol points richer than 25-delta calls.

Capped (2.5× Strike) vs Uncapped Variance Swaps: Left-Tail Gap Risk

Understand why institutional single-stock variance swaps mandate a 2.5× volatility cap while index variance trades both capped and uncapped: pricing embedded variance calls and mitigating bankruptcy log-return singularities.

Điểm chính: In an uncapped single-stock variance swap, if a company files Chapter 11 and its stock drops −95% in one day, ln(0.05)2 = (−2.996)2 = 8.97—producing ~22,600 annualized variance points in a SINGLE day!
