Description
nag_specfun_opt_binary_aon_greeks (s30cd) computes the price of a binary or digital asset-or-nothing option, together with the Greeks or sensitivities, which are the partial derivatives of the option price with respect to certain of the other input parameters. This option pays the underlying asset itself,
, at expiration if the option is in-the-money (see
Option Pricing Routines in the S Chapter Introduction). For a strike price,
, underlying asset price,
, and time to expiry,
, the payoff is therefore
, if
for a call or
for a put. Nothing is paid out when this condition is not met.
The price of a call with volatility,
, risk-free interest rate,
, and annualised dividend yield,
, is
and for a put,
where
is the cumulative Normal distribution function,
and
The option price is computed for each strike price in a set , , and for each expiry time in a set , .

Accuracy
The accuracy of the output is dependent on the accuracy of the cumulative Normal distribution function,
. This is evaluated using a rational Chebyshev expansion, chosen so that the maximum relative error in the expansion is of the order of the
machine precision (see
nag_specfun_cdf_normal (s15ab) and
nag_specfun_erfc_real (s15ad)). An accuracy close to
machine precision can generally be expected.
Further Comments
None.
Example
This example computes the price of an asset-or-nothing put with a time to expiry of days, a stock price of and a strike price of . The risk-free interest rate is per year, there is an annual dividend return of and the volatility is per year.
