Cells show vomma value (∂²V/∂σ²) and z-score. X-axis = log-moneyness ln(K/S) bins (0.05 wide). Red-bordered cells: |z| > 2 — P&L convex to vol-of-vol shocks. All three unstable nodes are at the 1-year maturity.
QV Convexity × 10⁴ — by Maturity
Quadratic variation convexity measures the sensitivity of the straddle P&L to variance path roughness. Higher values at long maturities reflect accumulated vomma exposure.
Mean Vanna — by Maturity (∂²V/∂S∂σ)
Vanna is the cross-greek measuring how delta changes with implied vol. Negative mean vanna at short maturities reflects the leverage effect: rising spot → falling IV → negative delta adjustment.
Vomma Z-Score vs Log-Moneyness — All Maturities
Points above z=+2 (dashed red line) are flagged as unstable. Longer maturities (darker points) show higher absolute vomma due to greater vol-of-vol accumulation time.
