Binary-Vanilla relationships
Issued on July 01 2011 par Strategies-options.com
Binary options can be expressed with vanilla ones.
Binary options can be expressed with vanilla ones.
I - Using Black & Scholes we get
Call = S . N( d1 ) - ( exp( - r . T ) ) . K . N( d2 )
Put = - S . N( - d1 ) + ( exp( - r . T ) ) . K . N( - d2 )
We know that
ΔCall = N( d1 )
ΔPut = - N( - d1 )
If we call
CB the binary call
PB the binary put
II - Black & Scholes and the binary options
CB = ( exp( - r . T ) ) . K . N( d2 )
PB = ( exp( - r . T ) ) . K . N( - d2 )
Hence,
Call = ( ΔCall . S ) - ( K . CB)
Put = ( ΔPut . S ) + ( K .PB )
An easy way to find Binary options value using vanilla's ones is:
CB = ( ΔCall.S - Call ) / K
PB = ( -ΔPut.S + Put ) / K
