xfloat, array-like, shape $\left(m\right)$

$x[i-1]$ must contain $X_{\text{i}}$, the $\text{i}$th strike price, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,m$.

sfloat

kfloat

The amount, $K$, to be paid at expiration if the option is in-the-money, i.e., if $s>x[\text{i}-1]$ when $calput=\text{‘C'}$, or if $s<x[\text{i}-1]$ when $calput=\text{‘P'}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,m$.

Notes

opt_binary_con_greeks computes the price of a binary or digital cash-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 a fixed amount, $K$, at expiration if the option is in-the-money (see the S Introduction). For a strike price, $X$, underlying asset price, $S$, and time to expiry, $T$, the payoff is, therefore, $K$, 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, $\sigma$, risk-free interest rate, $r$, and annualised dividend yield, $q$, is

$$P_{call}=K{e}^{-rT}\Phi \left(d_2\right)$$

and for a put,

$$P_{put}=K{e}^{-rT}\Phi (-d_2)$$

where $\Phi$ is the cumulative Normal distribution function,

$$\Phi \left(x\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}{\int }_{-\infty }^{x}exp(-y^2/2)dy\text{,}$$

and

$$d_2=\frac{ln\left(S/X\right)+(r-q-{\sigma }^2/2)T}{\sigma \sqrt{T}}\text{.}$$

The option price $P_{ij}=P(X=X_i,T=T_j)$ is computed for each strike price in a set $X_i$, $i=1,2,\dots ,m$, and for each expiry time in a set $T_j$, $j=1,2,\dots ,n$.
