At entry the spread of Problem 15.11 had, per unit, net delta , net gamma , net theta per calendar day, and leg vegas (per vol point) (long 22,750 put) and (short 22,450 put). Over the event day the forward moved by , the long-strike implied vol by points and the short-strike vol by points. The close-to-close change in the spread was points. (a) Compute the delta, gamma, theta and vega terms of the second-order expansion and their sum. (b) Compute the residual and explain its sign using what happens to the spread's net vega as moves from above toward the midpoint of the strikes; name the cross-Greek responsible. (c) Over nine trades the rule of 15.6.2 had and . Compute the -statistic, the needed for in expectation M03 (3.2a), the needed for 80% power (3.2b), and the number of years that takes at six RBI decisions a year with the rule trading nine decisions in eleven. (d) Name two features of this setup that would change within that horizon and so make old observations a different experiment.
