Hello,
I have calculated the implied volatility, for the whole history of
option quotes on WIG20 stock index on Warsaw Stock Exchange. The thing
that is wondering me is that for some particular days I get volatility
nearly 0 (e.g. 3.12236893483001e-11). Is it happening because the
option was badly priced those thays (in comparison to Black-Scholes
price) or is it a problem of the algorithm. I am usin the
GBSVolatility() function with settings:
tol <- 10^(-10)
maxiter <- 100000
Are those values good for that, or should I use some other values.
Best regards,
Wojtek
