Math::Business::BlackScholesMerton::Binaries
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Business::BlackScholesMerton::Binaries;
# price of a Call option
my $price_call_option = Math::Business::BlackScholesMerton::Binaries::call(
1.35, # stock price
1.36, # barrier
(7/365), # time
0.002, # payout currency interest rate (0.05 = 5%)
0.001, # quanto drift adjustment (0.05 = 5%)
0.11, # volatility (0.3 = 30%)
);
DESCRIPTION
Prices options using the GBM model, all closed formulas.
Important(a): Basically, onetouch, upordown and doubletouch have two cases of payoff either at end or at hit. We treat them differently. We use parameter $w to differ them.
$w = 0: payoff at hit time. $w = 1: payoff at end.
Our current contracts pay rebate at hit time, so we set $w = 0 by default.
Important(b) :Furthermore, for all contracts, we allow a different payout currency (Quantos).
Paying domestic currency (JPY if for USDJPY) = correlation coefficient is ZERO. Paying foreign currency (USD if for USDJPY) = correlation coefficient is ONE. Paying another currency = correlation is between negative ONE and positive ONE.

SUBROUTINES
call
USAGE
my $price = call($S, $K, $t, $r_q, $mu, $sigma)
PARAMS
$S => stock price
$K => barrier
$t => time (1 = 1 year)
$r_q => payout currency interest rate (0.05 = 5%)
$mu => quanto drift adjustment (0.05 = 5%)
$sigma => volatility (0.3 = 30%)
DESCRIPTION
Price a Call and remove the N(d2) part if the time is too small
EXPLANATION
The definition of the contract is that if S > K, it gives
full payout (1). However the formula DC(T,K) = e**(-rT) N(d2) will not be
correct when T->0 and K=S. The value of DC(T,K) for this case will be 0.5.
The formula is actually "correct" because when T->0 and S=K, the probability
should just be 0.5 that the contract wins, moving up or down is equally
likely in that very small amount of time left. Thus the only problem is
that the math cannot evaluate at T=0, where divide by 0 error occurs. Thus,
we need this check that throws away the N(d2) part (N(d2) will evaluate
"wrongly" to 0.5 if S=K).
NOTE
Note that we have call = - dCall/dStrike
pair Foreign/Domestic
