Typo in the BSM equation?

Course Name: Options Trading Strategies In Python: Intermediate, Section No: 1, Unit No: 7, Unit type: Video

1. The lecture only explained what St is in the BSM equation. But d1 has another term called S0. Does anyone know what it is?

2. Does anyone know how to upload a screenshot image file here? The image button is not working on my mac laptop. I have also tried to drag and drop my image file (jpg) to this message, but it is still not working.

Hi Scoodood,

Thanks for highlighting this to us.

The formula should contain the term St and not S0 as correctly pointed out by you.

We will make this correction and get the video updated shortly.



Meanwhile, to learn more about the BSM, I also recommend you read this interesting blog on Black Scholes Model: Formula, Limitations, Python Implementation.



Also currently, there is no direct way to copy-paste an image into the editor.

However, a workaround would be to upload your image file to platforms like google drive and share the link with us right here. But do ensure that you set the file sharing permission to 'public' so that it can be viewed at our end.



I hope this helps. Do feel free to reach out to us if you need additional support.

Thanks. I hope that QuantInst could upgrade the image upload function to streamline the learning/sharing workflow among students within the community. The current workflow requires manually capturing and uploading the physical image file to the cloud drive, and then copy-pasting the link is too troublesome and time-consuming, thus discouraging students from participating in the discussion with joy.



Besides, entering the Latex equation in the message would be awesome.



Cheers
