optByBatesNI uses numerical integration to compute option prices and then plot an option price surface.

Define Option Variables and Bates Model Parameters

AssetPrice = 80;
Rate = 0.03;
DividendYield = 0.02;
OptSpec = 'call';

V0 = 0.04;
ThetaV = 0.05;
Kappa = 1.0;
SigmaV = 0.2;
RhoSV = -0.7;
MeanJ = 0.02;
JumpVol = 0.08;
JumpFreq = 2;

Compute the Option Price for a Single Strike

Settle = datetime(2017,6,29);
Maturity = datemnth(Settle, 6);
Strike = 80; 

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, AssetPrice, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield)
Call = 
5.3484

Compute the Option Prices for a Vector of Strikes

The Strike input can be a vector.

Settle = datetime(2017,6,29);
Maturity = datemnth(Settle, 6);
Strike = (76:2:84)';

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, AssetPrice, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield)
Call = 5×1

    7.5765
    6.4020
    5.3484
    4.4173
    3.6073

Compute the Option Prices for a Vector of Strikes and a Vector of Dates of the Same Lengths

Use the Strike input to specify the strikes. Also, the Maturity input can be a vector, but it must match the length of the Strike vector if the ExpandOutput name-value pair argument is not set to "true".

Settle = datetime(2017,6,29);
Maturity = datemnth(Settle, [12 18 24 30 36]); % Five maturities
Strike = [76 78 80 82 84]'; % Five strikes

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, AssetPrice, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield) % Five values in vector output
Call = 5×1

    9.7516
   10.3931
   10.8865
   11.2990
   11.6491

Expand the Output for a Surface

Set the ExpandOutput name-value pair argument to "true" to expand the output into a NStrikes-by-NMaturities matrix. In this case, it is a square matrix.

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, AssetPrice, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield, 'ExpandOutput', true) % (5 x 5) matrix output
Call = 5×5

    9.7516   11.4387   12.8395   14.0588   15.1361
    8.6554   10.3931   11.8344   13.0890   14.1980
    7.6432    9.4149   10.8865   12.1693   13.3046
    6.7153    8.5035    9.9951   11.2990   12.4553
    5.8705    7.6581    9.1594   10.4771   11.6491

Compute the Option Prices for a Vector of Strikes and a Vector of Dates of Different Lengths

When ExpandOutput is "true", NStrikes do not have to match NMaturities (that is, the output NStrikes-by-NMaturities matrix can be rectangular).

Settle = datetime(2017,6,29);
Maturity = datemnth(Settle, 12*(0.5:0.5:3)'); % Six maturities
Strike = (76:2:84)'; % Five strikes

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, AssetPrice, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield, 'ExpandOutput', true) % (5 x 6) matrix output
Call = 5×6

    7.5765    9.7516   11.4387   12.8395   14.0588   15.1361
    6.4020    8.6554   10.3931   11.8344   13.0890   14.1980
    5.3484    7.6432    9.4149   10.8865   12.1693   13.3046
    4.4173    6.7153    8.5035    9.9951   11.2990   12.4553

Compute Option Prices for a Vector of Strikes and a Vector of Asset Prices

When ExpandOutput is "true", the output can also be a NStrikes-by-NAssetPrices rectangular matrix by accepting a vector of asset prices.

Settle = datetime(2017,6,29);
Maturity = datemnth(Settle, 12); % Single maturity
ManyAssetPrices = [70 75 80 85]; % Four asset prices
Strike = (76:2:84)'; % Five strikes

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, ManyAssetPrices, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield, 'ExpandOutput', true) % (5 x 4) matrix output
Call = 5×4

    4.2033    6.6918    9.7516   13.2808
    3.5558    5.8111    8.6554   11.9993

    2.0825    3.6818    5.8705    8.6158

Plot an Option Price Surface

The Strike and Maturity inputs can be vectors. Set ExpandOutput to "true" to output the surface as a NStrikes-by-NMaturities matrix.

Settle = datetime(2017,6,29);
Maturity = datemnth(Settle, 12*[1/12 0.25 (0.5:0.5:3)]');
Times = yearfrac(Settle, Maturity);
Strike = (2:2:200)';

Call = optByBatesNI(Rate, AssetPrice, Settle, Maturity, OptSpec, Strike, V0, ...
    ThetaV, Kappa, SigmaV, RhoSV, MeanJ, JumpVol, JumpFreq, ...
    'DividendYield', DividendYield, 'ExpandOutput', true);


[X,Y] = meshgrid(Times,Strike);

figure;
surf(X,Y,Call);
title('Price');
xlabel('Years to Option Expiry');
ylabel('Strike');
view(-112,34);
xlim([0 Times(end)]);
zlim([0 80]);

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Price, xlabel Years to Option Expiry, ylabel Strike contains an object of type surface.

Vanilla Option

A vanilla option is a category of options that includes only the most standard components.

A vanilla option has an expiration date and straightforward strike price. American-style options and European-style options are both categorized as vanilla options.

The payoff for a vanilla option is as follows:

  • For a call: max(StK,0)

  • For a put: max(KSt,0)

where:

St is the price of the underlying asset at time t.

K is the strike price.

For more information, see Vanilla Option.

Bates Stochastic Volatility Jump Diffusion Model

The Bates model (Bates (1996)) is an extension of the Heston model, where, in addition to stochastic volatility, the jump diffusion parameters similar to Merton (1976) were also added to model sudden asset price movements.

The stochastic differential equation is:

dSt=(rqλpμJ)Stdt+vtStdWt+JStdPtdvt=κ(θvt)dt+σvvtdWtE[dWtdWtv]=pdtprob(dPt=1)=λpdt

where

r is the continuous risk-free rate.

q is the continuous dividend yield.

St is the asset price at time t.

vt is the asset price variance at time t.

J is the random percentage jump size conditional on the jump occurring, where ln(1+J) is normally distributed with mean ln(1+μJ)δ22 and the standard deviation δ, and (1+J) has a lognormal distribution:

1(1+J)δ2πexp{[ln(1+J)(ln(1+μJ)δ22]2δ22}

v0 is the initial variance of the asset price at t = 0 (v0> 0).

θ is the long-term variance level for (θ > 0).

κ is the mean reversion speed for (κ > 0).

σv is the volatility of variance for (σv > 0).

p is the correlation between the Wiener processes Wt and Wtv for (-1 ≤ p ≤ 1).

μJ is the mean of J for (μJ > -1).

δ is the standard deviation of ln(1+J) for (δ ≥ 0).

λp is the annual frequency (intensity) of Poisson process Pt for (λp ≥ 0).

The characteristic function fBatesj(ϕ) for j = 1 (asset price mean measure) and j =2 (risk-neutral measure) is:

fBates(ϕ)=exp(Cj+Djv0+iϕlnSt)exp(λpτ(1+μJ)mj+12[(1+μj)iϕeδ2(mjiϕ+(iϕ)22)1]λpτμJiϕ)mj={m1=12m2=12}Cj=(rq)iϕτ+κθσv2[(bjpσviϕ+dj)τ2ln(1gjedjτ1gj)]Dj=bjpσviϕ+djσv2(1edjτ1gjedjτ)gj=bjpσviϕ+djbjpσviϕdjdj=(bjpσviϕ)2σv2(2ujiϕϕ2)where for j=1,2:u1=12,u2=12,b1=κ+λVolRiskpσv,b2=κ+λVolRisk

where

ϕ is the characteristic function variable.

ƛVolRisk is the volatility risk premium.

τ is the time to maturity for (τ = T - t).

i is the unit imaginary number for (i2= -1).

The definitions for Cj and Dj under “The Little Heston Trap” by Albrecher et al. (2007) are:

Cj=(rq)iϕτ+κθσv2[(bjpσviϕdj)τ2ln(1εjedjτ1εj)]Dj=bjpσviϕdjσv2(1edjτ1εjedjτ)εj=bjpσviϕdjbjpσviϕ+dj

Numerical Integration Method Under Heston (1993) Framework

Numerical integration is used to evaluate the continuous integral for the inverse Fourier transform.

The numerical integration method under the Heston (1993) framework is based on the following expressions:

Call(K)=SteqτP1KerτP2Put(K)=Call(K)+KerτSteqτPj=12+1π0Re[eiϕln(K)fj(ϕ)iϕ]dϕ

where

r is the continuous risk-free rate.

q is the continuous dividend yield.

St is the asset price at time t.

K is the strike.

τ is time to maturity (τ = T-t).

Call(K) is the call price at strike K.

Put(K) is the put price at strike K

i is a unit imaginary number (i2= -1)

ϕ is the characteristic function variable.

fj(ϕ) is the characteristic function for Pj(j = 1,2).

P1 is the probability of St > K under the asset price measure for the model.

P2 is the probability of St > K under the risk-neutral measure for the model.

Where j = 1,2 so that f1(ϕ) and f2(ϕ) are the characteristic functions for probabilities P1 and P2, respectively.

This framework is chosen with the default value “Heston1993” for the Framework name-value pair argument.

Numerical Integration Method Under Lewis (2001) Framework

Numerical integration is used to evaluate the continuous integral for the inverse Fourier transform.

The numerical integration method under the Lewis (2001) framework is based on the following expressions:

Call(k)=SteqτKeτtπ0Re[Kiuf2(ϕ=(ui2))1u2+14]duPut(K)=Call(K)=KeτtSteqτ

where

r is the continuous risk-free rate.

q is the continuous dividend yield.

St is the asset price at time t.

K is the strike.

τ is time to maturity (τ = T-t).

Call(K) is the call price at strike K.

Put(K) is the put price at strike K

i is a unit imaginary number (i2= -1)

ϕ is the characteristic function variable.

u is the characteristic function variable for integration, where ϕ=(ui2).

f2(ϕ) is the characteristic function for P2.

P2 is the probability of St > K under the risk-neutral measure for the model.

This framework is chosen with the value “Lewis2001” for the Framework name-value pair argument.
