Hi,

I'm having some trouble running the loop
after obtaining the price of the option.
The function nargout takes value of 65414....something
Please help me resolve this, would like the code to calculate value of the greeks.
Kindly give your inputs

Thanks in Advance



Matlab Code:

Code:
function [value,delta,gamma,theta,vega,rho] = BinomialTreeGreeks(putCall,...
exerciseType,S0,K,sigma,r,div,T,n)
%
% This function calculates the American or European option value by a
% binomal tree model.
%
% [value,delta,gamma,theta,vega,rho] = ...
% BinomialTreeGreeks(putCall,exerciseType,S0,K,sigma,r,div,T,n)
%
% Input: putCall: indicates the option type
% putCall = ’Call’ for a call option
% putCall = ’Put’ for a put
% option
% exerciseType: European (’E’) or American (’A’)
% exercise type
% S: Stock price
% K: Strike price
% sigma: Volatility
% r: riskfree rate
% div: Dividend yield
% T: Time to maturity
% n: Number of steps in the tree
%
% OUTPUT: value: option value
% delta: dV/dS
% gamma: dV^2/d^2S
% theta: dV/dT
% vega: dV/dsigma
% rho: dV/dr
%
% EXAMPLE: [value,delta,gamma,theta,vega,rho] = ...
% BinomialTreeGreeks(’Put’,’A’,50,50,0.4,0.05,0.02,2,500)
% Parameters for binomial tree
dt = T/n;
u = exp(sigma*sqrt(dt));
d = 1/u;
p = (exp((r-div)*dt)-d)/(u-d);
q = 1-p;
disc = exp(-r*dt);
% Initialize matrices
stockM = zeros(n+1,n+1);
optionM = zeros(n+1,n+1);
% Create stock tree
stockM (1,1) = S0;
for j = 2:n+1
for i = 1:j-1
stockM(i,j) = stockM(i,j-1)*u;
end
stockM(i+1,j) = stockM(i,j-1)*d;
end
% Set z parameter to calculate the option payoff depending on the
% selected option type (Call, Put)
switch putCall
case 'Call'
z = 1;
case 'Put'
z = -1;
otherwise
error('Check option type!');
end
% Insert terminal values
optionM:),end) = max(z*(stockM:),end)-K),0);
% Value call by working backward from time n-1 to time 0
switch exerciseType
% European option
case 'E'
for j=n:-1:1;
for i=j:-1:1;
optionM(i,j) = disc*(p*optionM(i,j+1)+q*optionM(i+1,j+1));
end
end;
% American exercise type
case 'A'
for j=n:-1:1;
for i=j:-1:1;
optionM(i,j) = max(z*(stockM(i,j)-K),disc*(p*optionM(i,j+1)+q*optionM(i+1,j+1)));
end
end
otherwise
error('Check exercise type!');
end
value = optionM(1,1);
% Calculate greeks
if nargout > 1
delta = (optionM(1,2)-optionM(2,2))/(stockM(1,2)-stockM(2,2));
end
if nargout > 2
deltaUp = (optionM(1,3)-optionM(2,3))/(stockM(1,3)-stockM(2,3));
deltaDown = (optionM(2,3)-optionM(3,3))/(stockM(2,3)-stockM(3,3));
gamma = (deltaUp-deltaDown)/((stockM(1,3)-stockM(3,3))/2);
end
if nargout > 3
theta = (optionM(2,3)-optionM(1,1))/(2*dt);
end
% Calculate vega and rho with re-evaluation
if nargout > 4
vegaUp = feval(@BinomialTreeGreeks,putCall,exerciseType,S0,K,...
sigma+0.01,r,div,T,n);
vegaDown = feval(@BinomialTreeGreeks,putCall,exerciseType,S0,K,...
sigma-0.01,r,div,T,n);
vega = (vegaUp - vegaDown)/(2*0.01);
end
if nargout > 5
rhoUp = feval(@BinomialTreeGreeks,putCall,exerciseType,S0,K,sigma,...
r+0.01,div,T,n);
rhoDown = feval(@BinomialTreeGreeks,putCall,exerciseType,S0,K,sigma,...
r-0.01,div,T,n);
rho = (rhoUp - rhoDown)/(2*0.01);
end
 
Why are you doing this .. thesis, work etc.?

Why not just use Quantlib C++ and be done with it?

Introducing QuantLib: Black-Scholes and the Greeks

Hi Daniel,

I am building a pricing sheet in c# however I find quantlib a bit hard to navigate and understand.

I also have the code I need, however I have no idea how to merge the two together the options price and the greeks, this is what im struggling with.

Best Regards,
James

Hi James,
The pure OOP approach can get less maintainable. Here is an approach based on Layer/Delegates idea. The 2 chapters from the forthcoming 2nd ed. of my C++ book should be transferrable to C#.

Let me know if this is useful. I am also involved in C# and can provide feedback. Chapter 12 has sections on greeks and dividends.
