Syntax

[Price,PriceTree] = ittprice(ITTTree,InstSet)
[Price,PriceTree] = ittprice(___,Options)

Description

[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.

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

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.
