The binomial model is the simplest way to price an option.
Binomial model is a discret model to price options. It's a very intuitive and useful model that is able price a large variety of derivatives.
I - A Discret Model !
The binomial model is a discret model in a sense that it leads to an option value by scaling the maturity T in n intervals ∆t.
T= n∆t
The larger n, the more accurate the model.
II - Data
S spot
K strike
σ volatility
b=r-q cost of carry
with
r annualized interest rate
q annualized dividend rate
III - The Binomial Model
If T= n∆t, then ∆t= T ∕n
If u is an up factor, d a down factor such as
u=exp(σ√∆t)
d= exp(-σ√∆t)
If p is the risk neutral probability for an up move for the asset during ∆t
p=((exp(b∆t)-d) / (u-d)
And if
m=n-i
Then
