4 Binomial model for the stock price Continuous random model for the stock price: ds = µsdt + σsdw The binomial model for the stock price is a discrete time model: The stock price S changes only at discrete times t, 2 t, 3 t,... Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

5 Binomial model for the stock price Continuous random model for the stock price: ds = µsdt + σsdw The binomial model for the stock price is a discrete time model: The stock price S changes only at discrete times t, 2 t, 3 t,... The price either moves up S Su or down S Sd with d < e r t < u. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

6 Binomial model for the stock price Continuous random model for the stock price: ds = µsdt + σsdw The binomial model for the stock price is a discrete time model: The stock price S changes only at discrete times t, 2 t, 3 t,... The price either moves up S Su or down S Sd with d < e r t < u. The probability of up movement is q. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

7 Binomial model for the stock price Continuous random model for the stock price: ds = µsdt + σsdw The binomial model for the stock price is a discrete time model: The stock price S changes only at discrete times t, 2 t, 3 t,... The price either moves up S Su or down S Sd with d < e r t < u. The probability of up movement is q. Let us build up a tree of possible stock prices. The tree is called a binomial tree, because the stock price will either move up or down at the end of each time period. Each node represents a possible future stock price. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

8 Binomial model for the stock price Continuous random model for the stock price: ds = µsdt + σsdw The binomial model for the stock price is a discrete time model: The stock price S changes only at discrete times t, 2 t, 3 t,... The price either moves up S Su or down S Sd with d < e r t < u. The probability of up movement is q. Let us build up a tree of possible stock prices. The tree is called a binomial tree, because the stock price will either move up or down at the end of each time period. Each node represents a possible future stock price. We divide the time to expiration T into several time steps of duration t = T/N, where N is the number of time steps in the tree. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

9 Binomial model for the stock price Continuous random model for the stock price: ds = µsdt + σsdw The binomial model for the stock price is a discrete time model: The stock price S changes only at discrete times t, 2 t, 3 t,... The price either moves up S Su or down S Sd with d < e r t < u. The probability of up movement is q. Let us build up a tree of possible stock prices. The tree is called a binomial tree, because the stock price will either move up or down at the end of each time period. Each node represents a possible future stock price. We divide the time to expiration T into several time steps of duration t = T/N, where N is the number of time steps in the tree. Example: Let us sketch the binomial tree for N = 4. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

10 Stock Price Movement in the Binomial Model We introduce the following notations: S m n is the n-th possible value of stock price at time-step m t. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

11 Stock Price Movement in the Binomial Model We introduce the following notations: S m n is the n-th possible value of stock price at time-step m t. Then Sn m = u n d m n S0 0, where n = 0,1,2,...,m. S0 0 is the stock price at the time t = 0. Note that u and d are the same at every node in the tree. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

12 Stock Price Movement in the Binomial Model We introduce the following notations: S m n is the n-th possible value of stock price at time-step m t. Then Sn m = u n d m n S0 0, where n = 0,1,2,...,m. S0 0 is the stock price at the time t = 0. Note that u and d are the same at every node in the tree. For example, at the third time-step 3 t, there are four possible stock prices: S 3 0 = d3 S 0 0, S3 1 = ud2 S 0 0, S3 2 = u2 ds 0 0 and S3 3 = u3 S 0 0. At the final time-step N t, there are N + 1 possible values of stock price. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

13 Call Option Pricing on Binomial Tree We denote by C m n the n-th possible value of call option at time-step m t. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

14 Call Option Pricing on Binomial Tree We denote by C m n the n-th possible value of call option at time-step m t. Risk Neutral Valuation (backward in time): C m n = e r t ( pc m+1 n+1 Here 0 n m and p = er t d u d. ) + (1 p)cm+1 n. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

15 Call Option Pricing on Binomial Tree We denote by C m n the n-th possible value of call option at time-step m t. Risk Neutral Valuation (backward in time): C m n = e r t ( pc m+1 n+1 Here 0 n m and p = er t d u d. ) + (1 p)cm+1 n. Final condition: C N n = max ( S N n E,0 ), where n = 0,1,2,...,N, E is the strike price. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

16 Call Option Pricing on Binomial Tree We denote by C m n the n-th possible value of call option at time-step m t. Risk Neutral Valuation (backward in time): C m n = e r t ( pc m+1 n+1 Here 0 n m and p = er t d u d. ) + (1 p)cm+1 n. Final condition: C N n = max ( S N n E,0 ), where n = 0,1,2,...,N, E is the strike price. The current option price C0 0 is the expected payoff in a risk-neutral world, discounted at risk-free rate r: C0 0 = e rt E p [C T ]. Example: N = 4. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

25 Matching volatility σ with u and d From the first equation we find q = eµ t d u d. This is the probability of an up movement in the real world. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

26 Matching volatility σ with u and d From the first equation we find q = eµ t d u d. This is the probability of an up movement in the real world. Substituting this probability into the second equation, we obtain e µ t (u + d) ud e 2µ t = σ 2 t. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

27 Matching volatility σ with u and d From the first equation we find q = eµ t d u d. This is the probability of an up movement in the real world.

This equation can be reduced to the quadratic equation. (Exercise sheet 4, part 5). Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7

28 Matching volatility σ with u and d From the first equation we find q = eµ t d u d. This is the probability of an up movement in the real world. Substituting this probability into the second equation, we obtain Using u = d 1, we get e µ t (u + d) ud e 2µ t = σ 2 t. e µ t (u + 1 u ) 1 e2µ t = σ 2 t. This equation can be reduced to the quadratic equation. (Exercise sheet 4, part 5). One can obtain u e σ t 1 + σ t and d e σ t. These are the values of u and d obtained by Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein in Recall: e x 1 + x for small x. Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester) / 7
