  2. The option Greeks: The key factors that move option prices - AOL

    Rho: Rho measures the change in the option price if the risk-free interest rate changes by 1 percentage point. A rising rate raises the price of call options and lowers the cost of put options.

  3. Monte Carlo methods for option pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_for...

    Here the price of the option is its discounted expected value; see risk neutrality and rational pricing. The technique applied then, is (1) to generate a large number of possible, but random, price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and (2) to then calculate the associated exercise value (i.e. "payoff") of the option for ...

    These options Greeks can help you make sense of how an option price may move in the future. Let’s run through the elements in the option chain above to see all the information available.

  5. Trinomial tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_Tree

    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 ...

  6. Margrabe's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margrabe's_formula

    In mathematical finance, Margrabe's formula [1] is an option pricing formula applicable to an option to exchange one risky asset for another risky asset at maturity. It was derived by William Margrabe (PhD Chicago) in 1978. Margrabe's paper has been cited by over 2000 subsequent articles.

  7. Option time value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_time_value

    For an out-of-the-money option, the further in the future the expiration date—i.e. the longer the time to exercise—the higher the chance of this occurring, and thus the higher the option price; for an in-the-money option the chance of being in the money decreases; however the fact that the option cannot have negative value also works in the ...

  8. Binomial options pricing model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_options_pricing_model

    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.

  9. Lattice model (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_model_(finance)

    Delta and gamma, being sensitivities of option value w.r.t. price, are approximated given differences between option prices - with their related spot - in the same time step. Theta, sensitivity to time, is likewise estimated given the option price at the first node in the tree and the option price for the same spot in a later time step. (Second ...
