NEW BOOK: "Derivatives Analytics with Python"

Derivatives Lecture at Saarland University

Fast Monte Carlo Valuation of American Options with Stochastic Volatility

RECENT CLIENT PROJECT

Visixion GmbH has developed and conducted a focused Python training for selected people at Eurex, one of the world's leading derivatives exchanges. The major goal is to replace in certain areas a heterogeneous IT infrastructure (including, amongst others, Matlab and R) by Python as the main programming environment. Requirements are increased productivity, fast development cycles, easy collaboration, easy-to-maintain solutions and high performance.

Python for Finance (II) — Compact and Fast

By yhilpisch, on December 24th, 2012%

This is the second post in a series about Python for Finance. We will pick up the example of the first post and show how to incorporate variance reduction techniques for better accuracy and increased speed.

In the first post, we presented a rather concise and nevertheless quite fast implementation of the Longstaff-Schwartz algorithm (LSM) to value . . . → Read More: Python for Finance (II) — Compact and Fast

Python for Finance (I) — Compact and Fast

By yhilpisch, on July 20th, 2012%

Python is a multi-purpose programming language and many people use Python for everything but their core applications. However, Python can even be used for compute-intensive tasks like Monte Carlo simulation — a common numerical method in Finance in general and Financial Engineering in particular.

Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a quite flexible numerical method, in particular when . . . → Read More: Python for Finance (I) — Compact and Fast

EuroScipy 2011 — Fast Monte Carlo Valuation with Python

By yhilpisch, on August 29th, 2011%

To Python’s success story there has been added a new chapter: EuroScipy 2011. The conference who took place in Paris from 25.–28. August 2011 attracted researchers from diverse fields. Attendees learned how Python can be beneficially applied in such fields as physics, chemistry, biology, mechanical engineering—and finance. Dr. Yves Hilpisch gave a talk and presented a . . . → Read More: EuroScipy 2011 — Fast Monte Carlo Valuation with Python
