	Introduction
		Conventional ED futures options are frequently priced by applying Black’s model: the futures rate is assumed to have a lognormal distribution and the short term interest rate is assumed to be fixed.
		Chen and Scott conclude that futures options with futures-style margining should not be exercised early because their prices should exceed the intrinsic value prior to expiration.
		Neural networks were developed that use the futures rate, the strike rate (100 - the strike price), the time to maturity, and the historical volatility of the underlying futures contract as inputs.

	SSRN-Futures-Style Options on Euro-Deposit Futures: Nihil Sub Sole Novi? by Emilio Barone, Luca Mengoni
		As opposed to most futures contracts, the underlying instrument is not represented by a traded asset but by a linear transformation of an interest rate, the Libor.
		The options written on Euro-deposit futures that are traded at the London International Financial Futures & Options Exchange (LIFFE) are subject to daily marking to market, as the underlying futures; thus, they are called futures-style options or pure futures options.
		Other original contributions involve the determination of the relation between futures rates and forward rates and the derivation of the equivalent portfolio for the hedging of futures-style options on Euro-deposit futures.
