Mmiyukit11y ago
when calculating the interest rate option, i need to cal. profit and loss of ticks when exercise the price. however, why i calculate the foreign currency option, i do not need to cal. the ticks. really confusing about the option. thank you very much. appreciate.

I often calculate profit or loss directly from PL per contract and amount of contract, not via ticks. By either way, it return the same result. I though it is acceptable. Mr. Moffat, what is your advice here? Thank sir in advance!

I never bother using ticks - there is no need to. It is whatever you find easier. (miyukit: you will find the free lectures on both currency and interest rate options helpful)
