ittprice

Price instruments using implied trinomial tree (ITT)

Description

example

[Price,PriceTree] = ittprice(ITTTree,InstSet) price instruments using an implied trinomial tree (ITT) created with itttree. All instruments contained in a financial instrument variable, InstSet, are priced.

ittprice handles the following instrument types: optstock, barrier, Asian, lookback, and compound. Use instadd to construct the defined types.

example

[Price,PriceTree] = ittprice(___,Options) adds an optional input argument for Options.

Examples

Load the ITT tree and instruments from the data file deriv.mat.

load deriv.mat

Display the barrier and Asian options contained in the instrument set.

ITTSubSet = instselect(ITTInstSet,'Type', {'Barrier', 'Asian'});

Input Arguments

collapse all

Implied trinomial stock tree structure, specified by using itttree.

Data Types: struct

Instrument variable containing a collection of NINST instruments, specified using instadd. Instruments are categorized by type; each type can have different data fields. The stored data field is a row vector or character vector for each instrument.

Data Types: struct

(Optional) Derivatives pricing options structure, created using derivset.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

collapse all

Price for each instrument, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector. The prices are computed by backward dynamic programming on the stock tree. If an instrument cannot be priced, a NaN is returned in that entry.

For information on single-type pricing functions to retrieve state-by-state pricing tree information, see the following:

  • barrierbyitt for pricing barrier options using an ITT tree

  • optstockbyitt for pricing American, European, or Bermuda options using an ITT tree

  • asianbyitt for pricing Asian options using an ITT tree

  • lookbackbyitt for pricing lookback options using an ITT tree

  • compoundbyitt for price compound options using an ITT tree

  • cbondbyitt for pricing convertible bonds using an ITT tree

Tree structure of instrument prices, returned as a MATLAB® structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and accrued interest, and a vector of observation times for each node. Within PriceTree:

  • PriceTree.PTree contains the clean prices.

  • PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

  • PriceTree.dObs contains the observation dates.
