We show that the payoff to barrier options can be replicated when the underlying price process is driven by the difference of two independent Poisson processes. The replicating strategy employs simple semi-static positions in co-terminal standard options. We note that classical dynamic replication using just the underlying asset and a riskless asset is not possible in this context. When the underlying of the barrier option has no carrying cost, we show that the same semi-static trading strategy continues to replicate even when the two jump arrival rates are generalized into positive even functions of distance to the barrier and when the clock speed is randomized into a positive continuous independent process. Since the even function and the positive process need no further specification, our replicating strategies are also semi-robust. Finally, we show that previous results obtained for continuous processes arise as limits of our analysis.

AbstractIn the present paper, we introduce a numerical scheme for the price of a barrier option when the price of the underlying follows a diffusion process. The numerical scheme is based on an extension of a static hedging formula of barrier options. To get the static hedging formula, the underlying process needs to have a symmetry. We introduce a way to “symmetrize” a given diffusion process. Then the pricing of a barrier option is reduced to that of plain options under the symmetrized process. To show how our symmetrization scheme works, we will present some numerical results of path-independent Euler–Maruyama approximation applied to our scheme, comparing them with the path-dependent Euler–Maruyama scheme when the model is of the type Black–Scholes, CEV, Heston, and (λ)-SABR, respectively. The results show the effectiveness of our scheme.

Abstract. This study aims to minimize the violation of the assumptions of determining price options by taking into account the actual market conditions in order to obtain the right price that will provide high profits for investors. The method used to determine the option price in this study is the Kamrad Ritchken trinomial with volatility values that will be modeled first using GARCH. The data used in this study is daily data (5 working days per week) from the closing price of the stock price of PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Tbk (BBRI. Based on the results of the research, the best model is GARCH (1,1). For the call up barrier option, increase the strike price with the initial price and barrier which causes the option price to call up the barrier "in" and "out" decreases, on the contrary to the put barrier option, an increase in strike price with the initial price and a barrier that causes the put barrier option price to both put up-in and put up-out. initial and barrier which still causes the call down barrier option price both in and out decreases, on the contrary in the put down barrier option, increasing strike price with the initial price and barrier which causes the put down barrier option price to increase in and out.Keywords: Barrier Options, Trinomial, Kamrad Ritchken, Volatility, GARCH  Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meminimalkan pelanggaran asumsi-asumsi penentuan harga opsi dengan memperhatikan kondisi pasar yang sebenarnya sehingga diperoleh harga yang tepat yang akan memberikan keuntungan tinggi bagi investor. Metode yang digunakan untuk menentukan harga opsi dalam penelitian ini adalah trinomial Kamrad Ritchken dengan nilai volatilitas yang akan dimodelkan terlebih dahulu dengan menggunakan GARCH. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data harian (5 hari kerja per minggu) dari harga penutupan harga saham PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Tbk (BBRI). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh model yang paling baik adalah GARCH (1,1). Untuk opsi call up barrier, peningkatan strike price dengan harga awal dan barrier yang tetap menyebabkan harga opsi call up barrier baik "in" maupun "out" menurun, sebaliknya pada opsi put barrier, peningkatan strike price dengan harga awal dan barrier yang tetap menyebabkan harga opsi put barrier baik put up-in maupun put up-out meningkat. Sedangkan untuk opsi call barrier, peningkatan strike price dengan harga awal dan barrier yang tetap menyebabkan harga opsi call down barrier baik in maupun out menurun, sebaliknya pada opsi put down barrier, peningkatan strike price dengan harga awal dan barrier yang tetap menyebabkan harga opsi put down barrier baik in maupun out meningkat.Kata Kunci :  Opsi Barrier, Trinomial, Kamrad Ritchken, Volatilitas, GARCH

A barrier option is an exotic path-dependent option contract where the right to buy or sell is activated or extinguished when the underlying asset reaches a certain barrier price during the lifetime of the contract. In this article we use a Mellin transform approach to derive exact pricing formulas for barrier options with general payoffs and exponential barriers on underlying assets that have jump-diffusion dynamics. With the same approach we also price barrier options on underlying futures contracts.

The modern theory of option pricing rests on Itô calculus, which is a second-order calculus based on the quadratic variation of a stochastic process. One can instead develop a first-order stochastic calculus, which is based on the running minimum of a stochastic process, rather than its quadratic variation. We focus here on the analog of geometric Brownian motion (GBM) in this alternative stochastic calculus. The resulting stochastic process is a positive continuous martingale whose laws are easy to calculate. We show that this analog behaves locally like a GBM whenever its running minimum decreases, but behaves locally like an arithmetic Brownian motion otherwise. We provide closed form valuation formulas for vanilla and barrier options written on this process. We also develop a reflection principle for the process and use it to show how a barrier option on this process can be hedged by a static postion in vanilla options.
