Syntax

[Price,PriceTree] = eqpprice(EQPTree,InstSet)
[Price,PriceTree] = eqpprice(___,Options)

Description

[Price,PriceTree] = eqpprice(EQPTree,InstSet) computes stock option prices using an EQP binomial tree created with eqptree. All instruments contained in a financial instrument variable, InstSet, are priced.

eqpprice handles instrument types: 'Asian', 'Barrier', 'Compound', 'CBond', 'Lookback', 'OptStock'. See instadd to construct defined types.

example

[Price,PriceTree] = eqpprice(___,Options) adds an optional input argument for Options.

Load the EQP tree and instruments from the data file deriv.mat. Price the put options contained in the instrument set. 

load deriv.mat; 
EQPSubSet = instselect(EQPInstSet, 'FieldName', 'OptSpec', ...
'Data', 'put')
EQPSubSet = struct with fields:
        FinObj: 'Instruments'

Input Arguments

collapse all

Stock price tree structure, specified by using eqptree.

Data Types: struct

Instrument variable containing a collection of NINST instruments, specified using instadd. Instruments are categorized by type; each type can have different data fields. The stored data field is a row vector or character vector for each instrument.

Data Types: struct

(Optional) Derivatives pricing options structure, created using derivset.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

Price for each instrument, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector. The prices are computed by backward dynamic programming on the stock tree. If an instrument cannot be priced, a NaN is returned in that entry.

Related single-type pricing functions are:

  • asianbyeqp: Price an Asian option from an EQP tree.

  • barrierbyeqp: Price a barrier option from an EQP tree.

  • cbondbyeqp: Price convertible bonds from an EQP tree.

  • compoundbyeqp: Price a compound option from an EQP tree.

  • lookbackbyeqp: Price a lookback option from an EQP tree.

  • optstockbyeqp: Price an American, Bermuda, or European option from an EQP tree.

Tree structure of instrument prices, returned as a MATLAB® structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and accrued interest, and a vector of observation times for each node. Within PriceTree:

  • PriceTree.PTree contains the clean prices.

  • PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

  • PriceTree.dObs contains the observation dates.
