lookbackbyitt
Price lookback option using implied trinomial tree (ITT)
Syntax
Description
adds
an optional argument for Price
= lookbackbyitt(___,AmericanOpt
)AmericanOpt
.
Examples
Price a Lookback Option Using an ITT Equity Tree
This example shows how to price a lookback option using an ITT equity tree by loading the file deriv.mat
, which provides the ITTTree
. The ITTTree
structure contains the stock specification and time information needed to price the option.
load deriv.mat OptSpec = 'Call'; Strike = 85; Settle = datetime(2006,1,1); ExerciseDates = datetime(2008,1,1); Price = lookbackbyitt(ITTTree, OptSpec, Strike, Settle, ExerciseDates)
Price = 0.5426
Input Arguments
ITTTree
— Stock tree structure
structure
Stock tree structure for an implied trinomial tree (ITT), specified
by using itttree
.
Data Types: struct
OptSpec
— Definition of option
character vector with value 'call'
or 'put'
| cell array of character vectors with values 'call'
or 'put'
Definition of option, specified as 'call'
or 'put'
using
a character vector or a NINST
-by-1
cell
array of character vectors for 'call'
or 'put'
.
Data Types: char
| cell
Strike
— Option strike price value
matrix of nonnegative integers
Option strike price value, specified with a nonnegative integer
using a NINST
-by-1
matrix of
strike price values. Each row is the schedule for one option.
To compute the value of a floating-strike lookback option, Strike
must
be specified as NaN
. Floating-strike lookback options
are also known as average strike options.
Data Types: double
Settle
— Settlement date or trade date
datetime array | string array | date character vector
Settlement date or trade date for the lookback option, specified as a
NINST
-by-1
vector using a datetime
array, string array, or date character vectors.
Note
The Settle
date for every lookback option is
set to the ValuationDate
of the stock tree. The
lookback argument, Settle
, is ignored.
To support existing code, lookbackbyitt
also
accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.
ExerciseDates
— Option exercise dates
datetime array | string array | date character vector
Option exercise dates, specified as a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors:
For a European option, use a
NINST
-by-1
matrix of exercise dates. Each row is the schedule for one option. For a European option, there is only oneExerciseDates
on the option expiry date.For an American option, use a
NINST
-by-2
vector of exercise date boundaries. The option can be exercised on any tree date between or including the pair of dates on that row. If only one non-NaN
date is listed, or ifExerciseDates
is aNINST
-by-1
cell array of character vectors, the option can be exercised betweenValuationDate
of the stock tree and the single listedExerciseDates
.
To support existing code, lookbackbyitt
also
accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.
AmericanOpt
— Option type
0
European (default) | integer with values 0
or 1
(Optional) Option type, specified as NINST
-by-1
integer
flags with values:
0
— European1
— American
Data Types: double
Output Arguments
Price
— Expected prices for lookback options at time 0
vector
Expected prices for lookback options at time 0, returned as
a NINST
-by-1
vector. Pricing
of lookback options is done using Hull-White (1993). Therefore, for
these options there are no unique prices on the tree nodes except
for the root node.
More About
Lookback Option
A lookback option is a path-dependent option based on the maximum or minimum value the underlying asset achieves during the entire life of the option.
Financial Instruments Toolbox™ software supports two types of lookback options: fixed and floating. Fixed lookback options have a specified strike price, while floating lookback options have a strike price determined by the asset path. For more information, see Lookback Option.

Version History
Introduced in R2007aR2022b: Serial date numbers not recommended
Although lookbackbyitt
supports serial date numbers,
datetime
values are recommended instead. The
datetime
data type provides flexible date and time
formats, storage out to nanosecond precision, and properties to account for time
zones and daylight saving time.
To convert serial date numbers or text to datetime
values, use the datetime
function. For example:
t = datetime(738427.656845093,"ConvertFrom","datenum"); y = year(t)
y = 2021
There are no plans to remove support for serial date number inputs.
