Description

Rainbow Option via Black-Scholes (BS) model

Usage

RainbowBS(o = OptPx(Opt(Style = "Rainbow")), S1 = 100, S2 = 95, D1 = 0,
  D2 = 0, sigma1 = 0.15, sigma2 = 0.2, rho = 0.75, Type = c("Max",
  "Min"))

Arguments

o

An object of class OptPx

S1

A spot price of the underlying security 1 (usually S1)

S2

A spot price of the underlying security 2 (usually S2)

D1

A percent yield per annum from the underlying security 1

D2

A percent yield per annum from the underlying security 2

sigma1

a vector of implied volatilities for the associated security 1

sigma2

a vector of implied volatilities for the associated security 2

rho

is the correlation between asset 1 and asset 2

Type

Rainbow option type: 'Max' or 'Min'.

Details

Two types of Rainbow options are priced: 'Max' and 'Min'.

Value

A list of class RainbowBS consisting of the original OptPx object and the option pricing parameters S1, Type, isMax, and isMin as well as the computed price PxBS.
