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

Simplicity Principle No. 1: Single Numerical Method

By yhilpisch, on August 27th, 2010%

DEXISION offers simple, Web-based Derivatives Analytics. This is the first post in a series that explains where the simplicity of our Web-based analytics suite stems from. We start today with the single numerical method, Monte Carlo simulation.

From the beginning on, we knew that we wanted to be able to value complex derivative instruments with, for example, . . . → Read More: Simplicity Principle No. 1: Single Numerical Method
