Conditional sampling for barrier option pricing under the Heston model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a quasi-Monte Carlo algorithm for pricing knock-out and knock-in barrier options under the Heston (1993) stochastic volatility model. This is done by modifying the LT method from Imai and Tan (2006) for the Heston model such that the first uniform variable does not influence the stochastic volatility path and then conditionally modifying its marginals to fulfill the barrier condition(s). We show that this method is unbiased and never does worse than the unconditional algorithm. In addition, the conditioning is combined with a root finding method to also force positive payouts. The effectiveness of this method is shown by extensive numerical results.

Numerical algorithm for discrete barrier option pricing in a Black-Scholes model with stationary process
In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alterna...
متن کاملFast Hilbert transform algorithms for pricing discrete timer options under stochastic volatility models
Timer options are barrier style options in the volatility space. A typical timer option is similar to its European vanilla counterpart, except with uncertain expiration date. The finite-maturity timer option expires either when the accumulated realized variance of the underlying asset has reached a pre-specified level or on the mandated expiration date, whichever comes earlier. The challenge in...
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 Barrier and Bermudan Style Options Under Time-Changed Lévy Processes: Fast Hilbert Transform Approach
We construct efficient and accurate numerical algorithms for pricing discretely monitored barrier and Bermudan style options under time-changed Lévy processes by applying the fast Hilbert transform method to the log-asset return dimension and quadrature rule to the dimension of log-activity rate of stochastic time change. Some popular stochastic volatility models, like the Heston model, can be ...
متن کاملPortfolio Optimization under Double Heston Duffie-Kan Model and the Price Calculation of the European Option
In this paper, we present a new version of the Double Heston model, where the mixed Duffie-Kan model is used to predict the volatility of the model instead of the CIR process. According to this model, we predict the stock price and calculate the European option price by using the Monte-Carlo method. Finally, by applying the proposed model, we find the optimal portfolio under the Cardinality Con...
