Initialize for VSTOXX¶

if name == "main": model = bs.BlackScholesImpliedVol( S0=17.6639, # VSTOXX spot value K=18.0, # Placeholder T=0.25, # Placeholder r=0.01, # Risk-free rate sigma=0.2, # Initial volatility tol=0.5 # Moneyness tolerance )

# Load data 
model.load_data()

# Show data summary
data_summary = model.get_data_summary()
print(f"  📊 Total options: {data_summary['total_options']:,}")
print(f"  📅 Unique maturities: {data_summary['unique_maturities']}")
print(f"  💲 Strike range: {data_summary['strike_range']['min']:.1f} - {data_summary['strike_range']['max']:.1f}", end="\n"*2)

# Compute implied volatilities
bs.compute_implied_volatilities_and_summarize(model, sigma_0=2.0)

# Run advanced analysis
bs.run_advanced_analysis_on_implied_vol(model)

```

Exercises¶

Exercise 1. The VSTOXX data has multiple maturities and strikes. Explain why batch processing (computing IV for all options at once) is more efficient than individual computation.

Exercise 2. The data shows that short-maturity options have higher IV than long-maturity options (backwardation). What market condition causes this term structure shape?

Exercise 3. Explain why the initial guess \(\sigma_0 = 2.0\) is appropriate for VSTOXX options but would be problematic for equity options.

Exercise 4. The advanced analysis includes plotting IV smiles grouped by maturity. Describe what a "volatility term structure" plot shows and how to construct it from the batch IV results.
