ARTSchoolCalc v 1.0 Released
Dec 29/02
ARTSchoolCalc
is a FREE full Windows software package for ARTSchool
clients. It is a collection of simple "calculators" to support
ARTSchool
seminars. The software is intended for EDUCATIONAL purpose and is
necessarily an oversimplification of the real world. The first two calculators
(both
of which are described in the seminar A
Trader's Guide to Portfolio Risk/Return Optimisation ) are:
OPTIC: A very simple (exotic)
Options Portfolio Trade Idea Comparison calculator that also illustrates basic
risk/return issues and permits various assumptions about forward prices and
their probabilities - see also A
Trader's Guide to Portfolio Risk/Return Optimisation
QEF: A very simple
mean-variance portfolio allocation optimiser intended to illustrate the
salient features of Efficient Frontier and Securities Market Line analysis -
see also A
Trader's Guide to Portfolio Risk/Return Optimisation. You may find the related ARTicles:
An Efficient Frontier Primer , and
Optimisation
and P&L - Part 1 interesting reading as well.
Coming soon, ARTSchoolCalc
Version 2.0 to include also:
FracDim: A simple calculator for estimating fractal
(Information, Capacity, and Correlation) dimension. You may also wish to
see the ARTicles in
ARTicle: Chaos and Predictability in Finance
Parts 1 through 3, as well as ARBLab
results for Holding Period Analysis of Fractal adjusted options trading
FDX: A simplified version of one of ART's Finite Difference
applications permitting multiple assets to be valued and assessed for
risk. This FREE version is restricted in a number of ways, but does
permit explicit or implicit calculations with up-streaming, non-uniform grids,
non-linear factors (e.g. transactions costs), term-structure effects, etc.
For example, use FD to value a Convertible Bond with the bond component following
a term-structure model, and the equity component following a market convention
model.
FuncU: A simplified version of one of ART's
Function Utilities for the analysis of functions/formulas, permitting users to enter formulas in a natural
near "English language" format to produce data series and graphics.
For example, create data with different probability distributions, compare
options payouts with different distributions, compare Geometric Brownian
Motion to Arithmetic Brownian Motion, etc etc,
