What types of exotic options does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of path-dependent and complex options including Barrier (knock-in/out), Asian (arithmetic/geometric), Lookback, Digital, Cliquet, Autocallable notes, and Quanto options.

How does it handle Asian option pricing?

It provides closed-form solutions for Geometric Asian options and utilizes Monte Carlo simulations with control variates or moment-matching approximations for Arithmetic Asian options.

Can this skill help with Greek analysis near barriers?

Absolutely. It specializes in identifying and managing extreme Greeks behavior, such as Delta flipping and Gamma spikes, which are common when underlying prices approach barrier levels.

Does it handle discrete versus continuous barrier monitoring?

Yes, the skill provides guidance on continuous monitoring using closed-form BSM solutions and discrete monitoring using Monte Carlo methods with Brownian bridge or Broadie-Glasserman-Kou corrections.
