The routine may be called by the names s30cdf or nagf_specfun_opt_binary_aon_greeks.

3 Description

s30cdf 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,

S

, at expiration if the option is in-the-money (see Section 2.4 in the S Chapter Introduction). For a strike price,

X

, underlying asset price,

S

, and time to expiry,

T

, the payoff is therefore

S

, if

S > X

for a call or

S < X

for a put. Nothing is paid out when this condition is not met.

The price of a call with volatility,

σ

, risk-free interest rate,

r

, and annualised dividend yield,

q

, is

P_{call} = S e^{- q T} Φ (d_{1})

and for a put,

P_{put} = S e^{- q T} Φ (- d_{1})

where

Φ

is the cumulative Normal distribution function,

Φ (x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 π}} \int_{- \infty}^{x} \exp ({- y}^{2} / 2) d y,

and

d_{1} = \frac{\ln (S / X) + (r - q + σ^{2} / 2) T}{σ \sqrt{T}} .

The option price

P_{i j} = P (X = X_{i}, T = T_{j})

is computed for each strike price in a set

X_{i}

i = 1, 2, \dots, m

, and for each expiry time in a set

T_{j}

j = 1, 2, \dots, n

24: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

- 1

1

to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of

0

causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of

- 1

means that an error message is printed while a value of

1

means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value

- 1

1

is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, the value

0

is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

- 1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, $calput = 〈value〉$ was an illegal value.

$ifail = 2$: On entry, $m = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $m \geq 1$ .

$ifail = 3$: On entry, $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 1$ .

$ifail = 4$: On entry, $x (〈value〉) = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $x (i) \geq 〈value〉$ and $x (i) \leq 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 5$: On entry, $s = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $s \geq 〈value〉$ and $s \leq 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 6$: On entry, $t (〈value〉) = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $t (i) \geq 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 7$: On entry, $sigma = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $sigma > 0.0$ .

$ifail = 8$: On entry, $r = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $r \geq 0.0$ .

Constraint: $q \geq 0.0$ .

$ifail = 11$: On entry, $ldp = 〈value〉$ and $m = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $ldp \geq m$ .

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 9 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

7 Accuracy

The accuracy of the output is dependent on the accuracy of the cumulative Normal distribution function,

Φ

. 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 s15abf and s15adf). An accuracy close to machine precision can generally be expected.

8 Parallelism and Performance

s30cdf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
