The first application to option pricing was by Phelim Boyle in 1977 (for European options). In 1996, M. Broadie and P. Glasserman showed how to price Asian options by Monte Carlo. An important development was the introduction in 1996 by Carriere of Monte Carlo methods for options with early exercise features.
The payoff of the option, repriced under this change of numeraire, is max(0, S 1 (T)/S 2 (T) - 1). So the original option has become a call option on the first asset (with its numeraire pricing) with a strike of 1 unit of the riskless asset. Note the dividend rate q 1 of the first asset remains the same even with change of pricing.
An option’s implied volatility (IV) gauges the market’s expectation of the underlying stock’s future price swings, but it doesn’t predict the direction of those movements.
The trinomial tree is a lattice-based computational model used in financial mathematics to price options. It was developed by Phelim Boyle in 1986. It is an extension of the binomial options pricing model, and is conceptually similar. It can also be shown that the approach is equivalent to the explicit finite difference method for option ...

Jamshidian's trick is a technique for one-factor asset price models, which re-expresses an option on a portfolio of assets as a portfolio of options. It was developed by Farshid Jamshidian in 1989. The trick relies on the following simple, but very useful mathematical observation.
Cowlick vs. Balding: Key Differences. A cowlick differs from a bald spot in a couple key ways.. First, a cowlick is a natural, normal feature of your scalp that occurs as a result of your genes.
In finance, the binomial options pricing model (BOPM) provides a generalizable numerical method for the valuation of options. Essentially, the model uses a "discrete-time" ( lattice based ) model of the varying price over time of the underlying financial instrument, addressing cases where the closed-form Black–Scholes formula is wanting.
