EuropeanBinomPut_Greeks#

Purpose#

Computes Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, and Rho for European put options using binomial method.

Format#

{ d, g, t, v, rh } = EuropeanBinomPut_Greeks(S0, K, r, div, tau, sigma, N)#
Parameters:

  • S0 (scalar) – current price.

  • K (Mx1 vector) – strike prices.

  • r (scalar) – risk free rate.

  • div (scalar) – continuous dividend yield.

  • tau (scalar) – elapsed time to exercise in annualized days of trading.

  • sigma (scalar) – volatility.

  • N (scalar) – number of time segments. A higher number of time segments will increase accuracy at the expense of increased computation time.

Returns:

  • d (Mx1 vector) – delta.

  • g (Mx1 vector) – gamma.

  • t (Mx1 vector) – theta.

  • v (Mx1 vector) – vega.

  • rh (Mx1 vector) – rho.

Global Input#

_fin_thetaType#

scalar, if 1, one day look ahead, else, infinitesimal. Default = 0.

_fin_epsilon#

scalar, finite difference stepsize. Default = 1e-8.

Examples#

// Specify current price
S0 = 305;

// Specify strike price
K = 300;

// Specify risk free rate
r = .08;

// Specify dividend
div = 0;

// Specify volatility
sigma = .25;

// Specify elapsed time to exercise (annualized days)
tau = .33;

// Call EuropeanBinomPut_Greeks
print EuropeanBinomPut_Greeks(S0, K, r, 0, tau, sigma, 60);

produces:

-0.34988100
0.0015276382
5.0166433
65.431637
-39.652250

Remarks#

The binomial method of Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (“Option pricing: a simplified approach”, Journal of Financial Economics, 7:229:264) as described in Options, Futures, and other Derivatives by John C. Hull is the basis of this procedure.
