Alpha Shift


Key Alpha Shift in
Model[Vol Curve] refers to the optional absolute amount by which each alpha parameter defined in Alphas Guess, in the SABR Model must be shifted during a by-bucket delta risk calculation.
If omitted, the default is 0.001
This applies only if
Alpha fixed = true, in which case the risk wrt the alpha parameters is generated.
It affects only the by-bucket risk. The shift amount during flat risk generation equals the value optionally defined in
Delta Shift with default = 0.001.
Note, the risk wrt the market vols is generated (with the shift amount defined in
Delta Shift) only if at least one of the four SABR parameters is not kept fixed.
