## Implementation Details
### Risk-Free Rate
Uses 10-year Treasury yield from FRED as proxy for risk-free rate.
### Historical Volatility
Calculated from 1-month daily returns, annualized (× √252).
### Implied Volatility Calculation
Simplified approximation: Premium% ≈ 0.4 × σ × √T
Solved for σ (implied volatility).
### Delta/Gamma Calculation
Black-Scholes model with:
- d1 = (ln(S/K) + (r + 0.5σ²)T) / (σ√T)
- Delta = N(d1)
- Gamma = n(d1) / (S × σ × √T)
## Future Enhancements
1. Real-time bond price data integration
2. Credit spread analysis
3. Convertible bond ETF tracking
4. Historical backtest of arbitrage strategies
5. Real-time EDGAR filing parser
6. Convertible bond issuance calendar
