Normally Distributed

The Option is widely applied in the financial sector.  The Black-Scholes-Merton model is often used in calculating option prices on a stock price movement. The model uses geometric Brownian motion which assumes that the data is normally distributed. However, in reality, stock price movements can cause sharp spikes in data, resulting in nonnormal data distribution. So we need a stock price model that is not normally distributed. One of the fastest growing stock price models today is the  process exponential model. The  process has the ability to model data that has excess kurtosis and a longer tail (heavy tail) compared to the normal distribution. One of the members of the  process is the Variance Gamma (VG) process. The VG process has three parameters which each of them, to control volatility, kurtosis and skewness. In this research, the secondary data samples of options and stocks of two companies were used, namely zoom video communications, Inc. (ZM) and Nokia Corporation (NOK).  The price of call options is determined by using closed form equations and Monte Carlo simulation. The Simulation was carried out for various  values until convergent result was obtained.

ABSTRAKHal yang utama dalam perdagangan opsi adalah penentuan harga jual opsi yang optimal. Namun pada kenyataan sebenarnya fluktuasi harga aset yang terjadi di pasar menandakan bahwa volatilitas dari harga aset tidaklah konstan, hal ini menyebabkan investor mengalami kesulitan dalam menentukan harga opsi yang optimal. Artikel ini membahas tentang penentuan harga opsi tipe Eropa yang optimal dengan volatilitas stokastik menggunakan metode Monte Carlo dan pengaruh harga saham awal, harga strike, dan waktu jatuh tempo terhadap harga opsi Eropa. Adapun model volatilitas stokastik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah model Heston, yang mengasumsikan bahwa proses harga saham (St) mengikuti distribusi log-normal, dan proses volatilitas saham (Vt) mengikuti Proses Cox-Ingersoll-Ross. Hal pertama yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengestimasi parameter model Heston untuk mendapatkan harga saham dengan menggunakan metode ordinary least square dan metode numerik Euler-Maruyama. Langkah kedua adalah melakukan estimasi harga saham untuk mendapatkan harga opsi tipe Eropa menggunakan metode Monte Carlo. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan metode Monte Carlo dalam penentuan harga opsi tipe Eropa dengan volatilitas stokastik model Heston menghasilkan solusi yang cukup baik karena memiliki nilai error yang kecil dan akan konvergen ke solusi eksaknya dengan semakin banyak simulasi. Selain itu, simulasi Monte Carlo memberikan kesimpulan bahwa parameter harga strike, harga saham awal dan waktu jatuh tempo memiliki pengaruh terhadap harga opsi yang konsisten dengan teori harga opsi. ABSTRACTWhat is important in options trading is determining the optimal selling price. However, in real market conditions, fluctuations in asset prices that occur in the market indicate that the volatility of asset prices is not constant, this causes investors to experience difficulty in determining the optimal option price. This article discusses the optimal determination of the European type option price with stochastic volatility using the Monte Carlo method and the effect of the initial stock price, strike price, and expiration date on European option prices. The stochastic volatility model used in this study is the Heston model, which assumes that the stock price process (S) follows the normal log distribution, and the stock volatility process (V) follows the Ingersoll-Ross Cox Process. The first thing to do in this study is to estimate the parameters of the Heston model to get stock prices using the ordinary least square method and the Euler-Maruyama numerical method. The second step is to estimate the share price to get the European type option price using a Monte Carlo Simulation. This study indicates that using the Monte Carlo method in determining the price of European type options with the Heston model of stochastic volatility produces a fairly good solution because it has a small error value and will converge to the exact solution with more simulations. Also, the Monte Carlo simulation concludes that the parameters of the strike price, initial stock price, and maturity date influence the option price, which is consistent with the option price theory.

We formulate the statistics of the discrete multicomponent fragmentation event using a methodology borrowed from statistical mechanics. We generate the ensemble of all feasible distributions that can be formed when a single integer multicomponent mass is broken into fixed number of fragments and calculate the combinatorial multiplicity of all distributions in the set. We define random fragmentation by the condition that the probability of distribution be proportional to its multiplicity, and obtain the partition function and the mean distribution in closed form. We then introduce a functional that biases the probability of distribution to produce in a systematic manner fragment distributions that deviate to any arbitrary degree from the random case. We corroborate the results of the theory by Monte Carlo simulation, and demonstrate examples in which components in sieve cuts of the fragment distribution undergo preferential mixing or segregation relative to the parent particle.

Random Behaviour

Monte Carlo Simulation depends on random behaviour of events. When a variable takes values at random and becomes highly unpredictable due to its nature of randomness, the property of random numbers is made use of for predicting the future values that the variable may take. This property can be made use of for predicting share price movements, when the past share prices exhibit random behaviour, without exhibiting high fluctuations. This article explains the methodology of using Monte Carlo Simulation for predicting share price movements and explains the process with the help of an illustration taking the monthly share price data of ITC Limited for a period of 36 months, where the share prices have moved within a narrow band. Findings of the analysis show that it works well and that the method of prediction is reasonably accurate, showing only a minor deviation from the actual prices.

Conditional Monte Carlo

Barrier option is an option where the payoff price depends  on whether or not the stock price passes the barrier during its life time. The aim of the research is to compare the convergence between conditional Monte Carlo and antithetic variate methods in determining the call barrier option  price. The call barrier option price  is influenced by several factors: initial stock price, stock volatility, risk-free interest rate, maturity, strike price and barrier. The calculation of call barrier option price is obtained by simulating stock price movements with different simulation number. Based on the simulation result, it is obtained that the calculation of call barrier option price with conditional Monte Carlo method converge faster than the antithetic variate method.

An option is a contract between a holder and a writer in which the writer grants the rights (not obligations) to the holder to buy or sell the assets of the writer at a certain price (strike price) at maturity time. Asian options are included in the dependent path option. This means that Asia's payoff option depends not only on the stock price at maturity time, but it is the average stock price during its maturity and symbolized A (average). Monte Carlo is basically used as a numerical procedure to estimate the expected value of pricing product derivatives. The techniques used are the standard Monte Carlo and variance reduction. The result obtained the Asia call option price and put for both techniques with 95% confidence interval. The variance reduction technique looks faster reducing 95% confidence interval than standard method.

Cliquet Options

Recently, stock price models based on Lévy processes with stochastic volatility were introduced. The resulting vanilla option prices can be calibrated almost perfectly to empirical prices. Under this model, we will price exotic options, like barrier, lookback and cliquet options, by Monte–Carlo simulation. The sampling of paths is based on a compound Poisson approximation of the Lévy process involved. The precise choice of the terms in the approximation is crucial and investigated in detail. In order to reduce the standard error of the Monte–Carlo simulation, we make use of the technique of control variates. It turns out that there are significant differences with the classical Black–Scholes prices.
