Default rolling option strategies

Primer on default rolling option strategies available within the framework.

Introduction

The following default strategies are created using our Straddle building block. They each have a strike of 0.5 delta, maturity of 3M and rolling frequency of 1M.

These default strategies can be imported via the following:

from sigtech.framework.default_strategy_objects.rolling_options import *

The easiest way to see which parameters are used is to look at the source code of any given default strategy. An example is shown below:

Python

eurusd_3m_delta??

Output

@recorded_lru_cache()
def eurusd_3m_delta():
    """
    Define a straddle in USD with option group ``'EURUSD OTC OPTION GROUP'``, strike type ``'Delta'``, strike 0.5,
    maturity ``'3M'`` and rolling frequency ``'1M'``.
    """
    return Straddle({'currency': 'USD', 'start_date': dtm.date(2010, 1, 4), 'group_name': 'EURUSD OTC OPTION GROUP',
                     'strike_type': 'Delta', 'strike': 0.5, 'maturity': '3M', 'rolling_frequencies': ['1M', ],
                     'db_ticker': 'EURUSD LONG ROLLING STRADDLE'})
