Pricing Chained Options with Curved Barriers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies barrier options which are chained together, each with payoff contingent on curved barriers. When the underlying asset price hits a primary curved barrier, a secondary barrier option is given to a primary barrier option holder. Then if the asset price hits another curved barrier, a third barrier option is given, and so on. We provide explicit price formulas for these options when two or more barrier options with exponential barriers are chained together. We then extend the results to the options with general curved barriers.

Pricing External-chained Barrier Options with Exponential Barriers
Abstract. External barrier options are two-asset options with stochastic variables where the payoff depends on one underlying asset and the barrier depends on another state variable. The barrier state variable determines whether the option is knocked in or out when the value of the variable is above or below some prescribed barrier level. This paper derives the explicit analytic solution of the...
متن کاملBounds on the value of barrier options with curved boundaries
In this paper we consider the problem of pricing European options which contain a knock-out clause involving one or two curved boundaries. Using a change of measure and Jensen’s inequality we derive upper and lower bounds in the form of double integrals, and demonstrate their accuracy with relevant numerical examples.
متن کاملBarrier options pricing of fractional version of the Black-Scholes model
In this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional Black-Scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. Also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. In this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...
متن کاملPRICING STOCK OPTIONS USING FUZZY SETS
We use the basic binomial option pricing method but allow someor all the parameters in the model to be uncertain and model this uncertaintyusing fuzzy numbers. We show that with the fuzzy model we can, with areasonably small number of steps, consider almost all possible future stockprices; whereas the crisp model can consider only n + 1 prices after n steps.
متن کاملValuing Time-Dependent CEV Barrier Options
We have derived the analytical kernels of the pricing formulae of the CEV knockout options with time-dependent parameters for a parametric class of moving barriers. By a series of similarity transformations and changing variables, we are able to reduce the pricing equation to one which is reducible to the Bessel equation with constant parameters. These results enable us to develop a simple and ...
