STTTree and STTInstSet are the input arguments required to call the function sttprice. Use the command instdisp to examine the set of instruments contained in the variable STTInstSet.

The instrument set contains eight instruments:

  • Two vanilla options (Call1, Put1)

  • One barrier option (Barrier1)

  • One compound option (Compound1)

  • Two lookback options (Lookback1, Lookback2)

  • Two Asian options (Asian1, Asian2)

Use sttprice to calculate the price of each instrument in the instrument set. 

Price = sttprice(STTTree, STTInstSet)
Price = 8×1

Input Arguments

collapse all

Stock tree structure for a standard trinomial tree, specified by using stttree.

Data Types: struct

Variable containing a collection of NINST instruments, specified as a structure. Instruments are broken down by type and each type can have different data fields.

Data Types: struct

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: [Price,PriceTree] = sttprice(STTTree,InstSet,'Options',deriv)

Derivatives pricing options, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Options' and a structure that is created with derivset.

Data Types: struct

Output Arguments

collapse all

Expected prices for each instrument at time 0, returned as a NINST-by-1 vector. The prices are computed by backward dynamic programming on the standard trinomial (STT) stock tree. If an instrument cannot be priced, a NaN is returned in that entry.

Structure with a vector of instrument prices at each node, returned as a tree structure.

PriceTree is a MATLAB® structure of trees containing vectors of instrument prices and a vector of observation times for each node.

PriceTree.PTree contains the prices.

PriceTree.tObs contains the observation times.

PriceTree.dObs contains the observation dates.
