  9.      Trader A purchases a down-and-out call with a strike price of USD 100 and a barrier at USD 96 from Trader B. Both traders need to unwind their delta hedge at the barrier. Which trader is more at risk if there is a price gap (discontinuity) that prevents them from exiting the trade at the barrier?
  A.     Trader A has the bigger risk.
  B.     Trader B has the bigger risk.
  C.     They both have the same risk.
  D.     Neither trader has any risk because both are hedged.
  答疑:这道题说的是动态对冲的问题,对于一个call来说买方的对冲是卖出标的资产,对于卖方来说是买入标的资产,那么对于一个障碍期权来说,如果达到障碍水平,那么就需要清算对冲头寸,对于买方来说就要在低价的时候买入标的资产,而对于卖方来说就要在低价的时候卖出标的资产,所以卖方的损失更大。
