Abstract
We examine local-stochastic volatility models and derive a simple condition such models need to obey so that the carry P&L of a delta-hedged/vega-hedged position makes sense in a trading context.
We give examples of admissible and non-admissible models and discuss the issue of the delta position in the hedge portfolio.
We end with a characterization of the break-even levels of the local volatility model - itself in the admissible class.
