Richard and Jeanne,
Thank you for the call. Per our conversation, the $124,704.68 bid/offer cost referenced in the previous email can be
broken down as follows:
•
Net vega (for the three WTI straddles the index references): $58,209
•
Implied volatility (for the three listed WTI straddles the index references): —47%
•
Bid to mid: formulaically (per page 4 of attached index guide - excerpt below): 4% * vol = 4% * 47% = 1.88%
EFTA01203659
cr7 is the after cost implied volatility of the relevant option and it is obtained from the implied volatility of the relevant
exchange traded option as
of =
Ma,(4%* cr, .0.75%)
Where, a r m the volatility of the call option which has strike K,.arKI is calculated using standard Black's model.
