Thanks a lot Shakti & David.

Please help in understanding the below VaR of a long call option (delta normal) Delta = .75 Position= 50 price= 8 Vol= .25 VaR of a Short call option (delta normal) Delta = .75 Position= 50 price= 8 Vol=.25 Please revert with calculation, I wish to know if the VaR for both is excatly...

Hi david, I am still not sure, I want to share my calculation with you. I look at this, if Vols are +ve auto correlated, it follows +ve exponents (Which is Always increasing function) (Vice-Vera for Negative) So if we think in simple terms (Given Positive Auto-correlation) the daily...

Hi David, I agree what you say but not with S.R.R, there is again an typo error on the below link. Which change the complete meaning of Positive & Negative Auto-Correlation. Kindly have a look, I have replicated the same. For 20g. If the Autocorrelation = .25 , implied daily vol = 2.43%...
