I saw title on derivatives week:

"Vol Conundrum Solved?
An age-old problem that traders have encountered when trying to price options across different points in time using volatility estimates may have a solution from a team working for Paris-based financial markets software company Murex, which will publish rather than sell the formula."

but i do not have the article. Heard that they showed something at MathFinance conference in Frankfurt last month. On that website I see this abstract:

"Dr. Gerd Zeibig, Murex

Logical SpaceTM


Time interpolation in the varied forms of strike or moneyness space are not logical, interpolation in delta space raises questions and encounters computational problems. We aim to present a new “Logical SpaceTM” for volatility modelling, applicable to all asset classes and adding transparency to skewness and leptokurtosis.

This is a joint presentation with Sebastien Kayrouz. "

Anybody has a copy of the presentation? or any link to what it might be?

thanks

Yes yes. I'll email you stuff later. Don't expect amazing results though, marketing is everything. At the end it all boils down to linear interpolation.

IMO anything Murex produces is by my standards a shite and not worth your effort

For the North-Korean SWF I lost a few yards trading wheat futures and lived to tell.

Does that include the Murex package?

it most surely does

[Edit] their typical MO is to sell you some sort of model that didn't even pass the beta phase. Ergo, you effectively are part of their QA. Only good thing about getting a model from them is front to back integration.

Yes. The bank I used to work at bought it at about the time I left; 7 years on they still use some of the crappy code I wrote back then because the Murex models 'just don't work'.

IMO their system makes windows look like open source.
