Convergence study
People normally believe that 50,000 simulations provide sufficient stability to measure the 99.9th percentile loss required for the regulatory IRC measure. However, our study shows that 50,000 paths are not convergent. Actually 100,000 simulations are needed to archive a better numerical stability and convergence. The results are shown in Table 1
