Research direction

Start by locating ExpiryPayoff in the options code and reading its existing payoff model. The issue asks for simulations across periods before expiry and different Greeks but does not specify which periods or Greeks to support; define those requirements and expected results before implementation. Done means the model can calculate profit and loss for the agreed periods and Greeks, with tests covering the new behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement help wanted

The current ExpiryPayoff in options calculates profit and loss only based on holding till expiry.

Extending this model to simulate any period between the expiry and different greeks would be a useful and practical addition
