In Reply To: I know that there are a lot of financial models out there, but usually what do traders use? black-scholes? arbitrage-free pricing ? Garman and Kohlhagen (1983) option pricing formula ? Can someone educate me on this? What models to use to figure out the risk of high investment grade bonds? How about trading crude oil? Thanks!
Message: you might check out Nassim Taleb's Dynamic Hedging and read a couple sections in the book. He talks about pricing models. "It is better to use a model with the smallest number of parameters to estimate"
