DoubleBarrier

DoubleBarrier instrument object

Description

Create and price a DoubleBarrier instrument object for one of more Double Barrier instruments using this workflow:

1. Use fininstrument to create a DoubleBarrier instrument object for one of more Double Barrier instruments.

2. Use finmodel to specify a BlackScholes, Heston, Bates, or Merton model for the DoubleBarrier instrument object.

3. Choose a pricing method.

   • When using a BlackScholes model, use finpricer to specify an IkedaKunitomo or VannaVolga pricing method for one or more DoubleBarrier instruments.

   • When using a BlackScholes, Heston, Bates, or Merton model, use finpricer to specify a FiniteDifference or an AssetMonteCarlo pricing method for one or more DoubleBarrier instruments.

Creation

Syntax

DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Strike',strike_value,'ExerciseDate',exercise_date,'BarrierValue',barrier_value)

DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument(___,Name,Value)

Description

DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Strike',strike_value,'ExerciseDate',exercise_date,'BarrierValue',barrier_value) creates a DoubleBarrier instrument object for one of more Double Barrier instruments by specifying InstrumentType and sets properties using the required name-value pair arguments Strike, ExerciseDate, and BarrierValue.

DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument(___,Name,Value) sets optional properties using additional name-value pair arguments in addition to the required arguments in the previous syntax. For example, DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument("DoubleBarrier",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2019,1,30),'BarrierValue',110,'OptionType',"put",'ExerciseStyle',"European",'BarrierType',"DKI",'Name',"doublebarrier_option") creates a DoubleBarrier put option with a European exercise. You can specify multiple name-value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

InstrumentType — Instrument type

string with value "DoubleBarrier" | string array with values of "DoubleBarrier" | character vector with value 'DoubleBarrier' | cell array of character vectors with values of 'DoubleBarrier'

Instrument type, specified as a string with the value of "DoubleBarrier", a character vector with the value of 'DoubleBarrier', an NINST-by-1 string array with values of "DoubleBarrier", or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors with values of 'DoubleBarrier'.

Data Types: char | cell | string

DoubleBarrier Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify required and optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument("DoubleBarrier",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2019,1,30),'BarrierValue',110,'OptionType',"put",'ExerciseStyle',"European",'BarrierType',"DKI",'Name',"doublebarrier_option")

Required DoubleBarrier Name-Value Pair Arguments

Option exercise date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ExerciseDate' and a scalar datetime, serial date number, date character vector, date string or an NINST-by-1 vector of datetimes, serial date numbers, cell array of date character vectors, or date string array.

Note

For a European option, there is only one ExerciseDate value on the option expiry date.

If you use date character vectors or date strings, the format must be recognizable by datetime because the ExerciseDate property is stored as a datetime.

Data Types: double | char | cell | string | datetime

BarrierValue — Double barrier value

Double barrier type, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'BarrierType' and a scalar character vector or string or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array with one of the following values:

• 'DKI' — Double knock-in

  The 'DKI' option becomes effective when the price of the underlying asset reaches one of the barriers. It gives the option holder the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying security at the strike price, if the underlying asset goes above or below the barrier levels during the life of the option.

• 'DKO' — Double knock-out

  The 'DKO' option gives the option holder the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying security at the strike price, as long as the underlying asset remains between the barrier levels during the life of the option. This option terminates when the price of the underlying asset passes one of the barriers.

Price Double Barrier Instrument Using Black-Scholes Model and Vanna Volga Pricer

This example shows the workflow to price a DoubleBarrier instrument when you use a BlackScholes model and a VannaVolga pricing method.

Create DoubleBarrier Instrument Object

Use fininstrument to create a DoubleBarrier instrument object.

DoubleBarrierOpt = fininstrument("DoubleBarrier",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2020,8,15),'OptionType',"call",'ExerciseStyle',"European",'BarrierType',"DKO",'BarrierValue',[110 80],'Name',"doublebarrier_option")

DoubleBarrierOpt = 
  DoubleBarrier with properties:

       OptionType: "call"
           Strike: 100
     BarrierValue: [110 80]
    ExerciseStyle: "european"
     ExerciseDate: 15-Aug-2020
      BarrierType: "dko"
           Rebate: [0 0]
             Name: "doublebarrier_option"

Create BlackScholes Model Object

Use finmodel to create a BlackScholes model object.

BlackScholesModel = finmodel("BlackScholes","Volatility",0.02)

BlackScholesModel = 
  BlackScholes with properties:

     Volatility: 0.0200
    Correlation: 1

Create ratecurve Object

Create a flat ratecurve object using ratecurve.

Settle = datetime(2019,9,15);
Maturity = datetime(2023,9,15);
Rate = 0.035;
myRC = ratecurve('zero',Settle,Maturity,Rate,'Basis',12)

myRC = 
  ratecurve with properties:

                 Type: "zero"
          Compounding: -1
                Basis: 12
                Dates: 15-Sep-2023
                Rates: 0.0350
               Settle: 15-Sep-2019
         InterpMethod: "linear"
    ShortExtrapMethod: "next"
     LongExtrapMethod: "previous"

Create VannaVolga Pricer Object

Use finpricer to create a VannaVolga pricer object and use the ratecurve object for the 'DiscountCurve' name-value pair argument.

VolRR = -0.0045;
VolBF = 0.0037;
RateF = 0.0210;
outPricer = finpricer("VannaVolga","DiscountCurve",myRC,"Model",BlackScholesModel,'SpotPrice',100,'DividendValue',RateF,'VolatilityRR',VolRR,'VolatilityBF',VolBF)

outPricer = 
  VannaVolga with properties:

    DiscountCurve: [1x1 ratecurve]
            Model: [1x1 finmodel.BlackScholes]
        SpotPrice: 100
     DividendType: "continuous"
    DividendValue: 0.0210
     VolatilityRR: -0.0045
     VolatilityBF: 0.0037

Price DoubleBarrier Instrument

Use price to compute the price and sensitivities for the DoubleBarrier instrument.

[Price, outPR] = price(outPricer,DoubleBarrierOpt,["all"])

Price = 1.6450

outPR = 
  priceresult with properties:

       Results: [1x7 table]
    PricerData: [1x1 struct]

outPR.Results 

ans=1×7 table
    Price     Delta     Gamma     Lambda     Vega      Theta      Rho  
    _____    _______    ______    ______    ______    _______    ______

    1.645    0.82818    75.662    50.346    14.697    -1.3145    74.666

More About

Double Barrier Option

A double barrier option is similar to the standard single barrier option except that they have two barrier levels: a lower barrier (LB) and an upper barrier (UB).

The payoff for a double barrier option depends on whether the underlying asset remains between the barrier levels during the life of the option. Double barrier options are less expensive than single barrier options as the probability of being knocked out is higher. Because of this, double barrier options allow investors to achieve reduction in the option premiums and match an investor’s belief about the future movement of the underlying price process.

There are two types of double barrier options:

• Double knock-in

  This option becomes effective when the price of the underlying asset reaches one of the barriers. It gives the option holder the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying security at the strike price, if the underlying asset goes above or below the barrier levels during the life of the option.

• Double knock-out

  This option gives the option holder the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying security at the strike price, as long as the underlying asset remains between the barrier levels during the life of the option. This option terminates when the price of the underlying asset passes one of the barriers.

The payoff for this type of option depends on whether the underlying asset crosses the predetermined trigger value (barrier level), indicated by BarrierValue, during the life of the option. If the option cannot be exercised because the barrier level either has or has not been reached, a fixed rebate amount is paid. For more information, see Double Barrier Option.

Tips

After creating an DoubleBarrier instrument object with an ExerciseStyle set to "American", you can modify the ExerciseStyle property to change it to "European" using dot notation.

DoubleBarrier.ExerciseStyle = "European"

Because a European option has a scalar Strike and ExerciseDate value and an American option has a 2-element vector for Strike and ExerciseDate values, when you change to ExerciseStyle from "American" to "European", the Strike and ExerciseDate values become the last element in the 2-element vector for the Strike and ExerciseDate values.
