American Option Pricing of Future Contracts in an Effort to Investigate Trading Strategies; Evidence from North Sea Oil Exchange

In this paper, Black Scholes’s pricing model was developed to study American option on future contracts of Brent oil. The practical tests of the model show that market priced option contracts as future contracts less than what model did, which mostly represent option contracts with price rather than without price. Moreover, it suggests call option rather than put option. Using t hypothesis test...

Invariant Option Pricing And

Part I proposes a numeraire-invariant option pricing framework. It defines an option, its price process, and such notions as option indistinguishability and equivalence, domination, payoff process, trigger option, and semipositive option. It develops some of their basic properties, including price transitivity law, indistinguishability results, convergence results, and, in relation to nonnegati...

Meshfree Methods in Option Pricing Meshfree Methods in Option Pricing

A meshfree approximation scheme based on the radial basis function methods is presented for the numerical solution of the options pricing model. This thesis deals with the valuation of the European, Barrier, Asian, American options of a single asset and American options of multi assets. The option prices are modeled by the Black-Scholes equation. The θ-method is used to discretize the equation ...

A Brain-Inspired Cerebellar Associative Memory Approach to Option Pricing and Arbitrage Trading

Option pricing is a process to obtain the theoretical fair value of an option based on the factors affecting its price. Currently, the nonparametric and computational methods of option valuation are able to construct a model of the pricing formula from historical data. However, these models are generally based on a global learning paradigm, which may not be able to efficiently and accurately ca...
