These guides focus on formulas, parameter meaning, calibration diagnostics, no-arbitrage controls, failure modes, and the difference between fitting a market surface and specifying its dynamics.
A practical guide to SVI meaning, formula, calibration, and parameters in options: Stochastic Volatility Inspired total variance fits, diagnostics, and API access.
Audience
quant / engineer / trader
Updated
Outcome
Read the five raw-SVI parameters and identify which part of the total-variance smile each controls.
How Derivasys monitors SVI no-arbitrage constraints for live Bitcoin and Ethereum options volatility surfaces, including butterfly, calendar, slope, and fit diagnostics.
Audience
trader / quant / engineer
Updated
Outcome
Distinguish butterfly, calendar and slope constraint failures from ordinary changes in a fitted term structure.
A practical SSVI guide for crypto options volatility surfaces: Surface SVI meaning, formula, parameters, no-arbitrage checks, SVI comparison, and dashboard workflow.
Audience
quant / engineer
Updated
Outcome
Relate SSVI's theta, rho and phi terms to a full surface and distinguish calendar or butterfly warnings from ordinary term-structure moves.
A practical local volatility guide for crypto options: Dupire formula, implied volatility surface inputs, SVI and SSVI comparison, diagnostics, and dashboard workflow.
Audience
quant / engineer
Updated
Outcome
Read the Dupire inputs and identify surface smoothness or denominator failures that make a local-volatility value unsafe to publish.
An evergreen rough-volatility guide covering roughness intuition, the Hurst parameter, rough Bergomi, implied-surface relationships, and model limitations.
Audience
quant / engineer / trader
Updated
Outcome
Explain what the Hurst parameter means, how rough Bergomi adds dynamics to an implied surface, and where the model can fail at short tenors.
