How Does the ‘Greeks’ Calculation Become More Complex for Exotic Options?

The 'Greeks' (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho) measure the sensitivity of an option's price to various market factors. For exotic options, such as barrier or Asian options, the complex payoff structures introduce discontinuities or path dependencies, making the analytical formulas used for vanilla options invalid.

This necessitates the use of more sophisticated numerical methods, like Monte Carlo simulations, which significantly increases the complexity and computational cost of the calculations.

Complex Payoff Structures

Structure ⎊ Complex payoff structures, within cryptocurrency derivatives and financial markets, represent non-linear contractual agreements where payouts are contingent on the performance of an underlying asset or a set of predefined conditions.
