Exercise: Greeks from the FDM grid
Once the FDM grid is computed, all Greeks come from grid differences.
Tasks
-
Delta: where . Compute for the ATM call ().
-
Gamma: . Compute and compare to the closed form .
-
Theta: Use the value at the next time step on the grid: at .
-
Vega and rho require re-running the FDM with bumped or — show how to compute Vega via .
-
Why FDM Greeks are noisier than the price. Argue heuristically: the price has error, but the gradient has error in general. Quantify by computing Delta as a function of and comparing the relative error.
