Unpenalised, the daily fits move by as much as 0.235 in a day, and the convexity adjustment of a one-year volatility swap (chapter 14) changes by 0.36 volatility point a day (standard deviation). With the largest daily move of is 0.071, the adjustment’s daily changes fall to 0.07 volatility point, and the average fit error rises from 0.291 to 0.303 volatility point (Figure 24.3). On day 59, where the free fit took from 0.51 to 0.28, the penalised adjustment moves by 0.18 volatility point instead of 0.93.
