public class DrawCHGraphs_2
extends javax.swing.JFrame

European calls on a constant volatility asset are hedged with analytic deltas and the mean and standard deviation of the hedge profit and loss computed as a function of the volatility sigma used in the computation of the hedge deltas. Mean and standard deviation are reported as a percentage of the Black Scholes call price.

The two functions are sampled (computed) at evenly spaced volatilities sigma between sigma_min and sigma_max and the (linearly interpolated) graphs displayed in a window and saved as a jpeg file.

The main method brings up the GUI to set parameters. Parameters of type double are set using sliders.

The idea is to analyze the effect of misjudging the true volatility of the underlying on hedge performance. Mean and standard deviation are computed from a sample of nPaths paths of the underlying asset simulated under the market probability.

Transaction costs have a fixed and a proportional component. The fixed component also has to be normalized to cost per share. If you transact in lots of 1000 shares and such a trade costs 10 dollars, fixed transaction costs are 10/1000=0.01. The proportional transaction costs come from bid-ask spread etc., 0.1 is a conservative number. Transaction costs are assumed to remain constant in today's dollars.

The computation is reasonably fast since no conditional expectations are involved (analytic deltas only).
