Documentation

Definition

The result of the grouping together of several volatility types.

Use

You use volatility clusters to group together several volatility types into a single volatility type. The volatility cluster can be used in the same way as a volatility type. If the entries in the cluster fields and in their respective volatility types (for example, maximum age or volatility calculation method) do not correspond, the system interprets only the entries in the cluster.

Dependencies

You can only create volatility clusters from volatility types of the volatility category Implied.

Example

Volatility type "C" contains the implied volatility of call options. Volatility type "P" contains the implied volatility of put options. If you group together these two volatility types into a volatility cluster called "VC", the system will look for the most suitable volatility in both the volatility types in volatility cluster "VC".
