The coherent risk principles are applied to quantify risk in derivatives under optimal hedging. Some theoretical aspects are discussed, and a fairly general dynamic programming solution is described. For convex European options and risk scenarios defined in terms of interval probabilities, computations are further reduced to a very simple recursion. An application on
S&P 500 option data illustrates the results.
