Holding option contracts are considered as a new way to invest. In pricing the option contracts, an investor can apply the binomial tree method. The aim of this paper is to present how the European option contracts are calculated using binomial tree method with some different choices of strike prices. Then, the results are compared with the Black-Scholes method. The results obtained show the prices of call options contracts of European type calculated by the binomial tree method tends to be cheaper compared with the price of that calculated by the Black-Scholes method. In contrast to the put option prices, the prices calculated by the binomial tree method are slightly more expensive.

We develop a recombining tree method for pricing of options by using a general two-factor stochastic-variance (SV) diffusion model for asset price dynamics. We show that it is possible to construct a riskless hedge by including additional short-term options in the hedging portfolio. This procedure gives us Partial Differential Equation (PDE) that can be solved by using standard numerical techniques giving us a unique option's price. We show that the option's price does not depend on the long run volatility forecast but only on the parameters of the model, which are related to the volatility of variance. We show one particular transformation of PDE to the Finite Difference Equation (FDE) that leads to the three-dimensional lattice method similar to the standard binomial-tree method. Our tree grows in the price-variance space and similarly to the binomial-tree, the coefficients of the FDE can be interpreted as risk neutral probabilities for jumping between the tree nodes. By investigating an error accumulation in the tree we found the stability criterion and the method that can be applied in order to achieve a stabile procedure. Our option pricing method can be used for European and American options and various payoffs. Since the procedure converges quickly and can be easily implemented, we believe that it could be useful for practitioners. The SV model we used here was shown earlier to be a diffusion limit of various GARCH-type models giving the possibility of using parameters obtained in the discrete-time GARCH framework as an input for our option pricing method.

In this paper, we consider the regime-switching Heston–CIR model, where the parameters of the volatility process are modulated by a Hidden Markov chain and the unobserved regimes. Then, we calibrate the parameters of the volatility and interest rate processes by the expectation maximization (EM) and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) algorithms, respectively. Next, we use the least square Monte-Carlo (LSM) algorithm to determine the S&P500 American barrier put option under the Heston–CIR model. Finally, by the binomial tree method as a benchmark, we provide some numerical experiments to illustrate the accuracy of the achieved results.

This paper suggests a new Fourier analysis approach to evaluate the option prices and its sensitivities (Greeks) using the binomial tree model. In the last half of this paper, we show that option prices are efficiently and effectively evaluated using a semi-closed form formula for European option prices. We can compute option prices in a broad class of jump-diffusion models because we calculate the characteristic function for an underlying asset price numerically. Furthermore, we also compute the price of European options in the exp-Levy model. This numerical experiment gives new insights into option pricing in the nonparametric Levy model. The option prices and sensitivities can be computed very accurately and efficiently, even in binomial tree models with jumps.

Binomial tree is a method that can be used to determine price option contracts. In this method, the stock price movement is presented in the form of a  tree with each branch representing the probability of the stock price to move up or move down. The purpose of this paper was to determine the price of the options contracts with the American type on Binomial Tree method and compare the three methods that is variance matching, proportional , and risk neutral of determining the value of price option contracts used in Binomial Tree method with Black-Schole method. The result of this research was the value of the options contract using the variance matching more similar with the value of the Black-Scholes contract.

This paper discusses the pricing of arithmetic Asian options when the underlying stock follows the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) process. We build a binomial tree method to estimate the CEV process and use it to price arithmetic Asian options. We find that the binomial tree method for the lognormal case can effectively solve the computational problems arising from the inherent complexities of arithmetic Asian options when the stock price follows CEV process. We present numerical results to demonstrate the validity and the convergence of the approach for the different parameter values set in CEV process.
