Message text: No volatility smile construction method in the evaluation type



What causes this issue?

In the evaluation type/valuation rule, you entered a volatility type
with moneyness defintion <LS>Option Delta</>. However, you have not
entered a volatility smile construction method. This setting is required
to access the central volatility database for delta-quoted volatilities.


System Response

The system cannot determine a delta-quoted volatility. It searches for a
volatility in the underlying-specific volatility database without
moneyness instead. This implicates that the smile effect is ignored.


How to fix this error?

Enter a volatility smile construction method on the tab <LS>Evaluation
Control 2</> in the definition of the evaluation type/valuation
rule.


Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
