Lookback instrument

Since R2020a

expand all in page

Description

Create and price a Lookback instrument object for one or more Lookback instruments using this workflow:

  1. Use fininstrument to create a Lookback instrument object for one or more Lookback instruments.

  2. Use finmodel to specify a BlackScholes, Heston, Bates, or Merton model for the Lookback instrument object.

  3. Choose a pricing method.

For more information on this workflow, see Get Started with Workflows Using Object-Based Framework for Pricing Financial Instruments.

For more information on the available models and pricing methods for a Lookback instrument, see Choose Instruments, Models, and Pricers.

Creation

Syntax

LookbackObj = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Strike',strike_value,'ExerciseDate',exercise_date)
LookbackObj = fininstrument(___,Name,Value)

Description

LookbackObj = fininstrument(InstrumentType,'Strike',strike_value,'ExerciseDate',exercise_date) creates a Lookback object for one or more Lookback instruments by specifying InstrumentType and sets the properties for the required name-value pair arguments Strike and ExerciseDate.

The Lookback instrument supports fixed-strike and floating-strike lookback options. For more information on a Lookback instrument, see More About.

example

LookbackObj = fininstrument(___,Name,Value) sets optional properties using additional name-value pairs in addition to the required arguments in the previous syntax. For example, LookbackObj = fininstrument("Lookback",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2019,1,30),'OptionType',"put",'ExerciseStyle',"European",'Name',"lookback_option") creates a Lookback put option with an European exercise. You can specify multiple name-value pair arguments.

example

Input Arguments

expand all

Instrument type, specified as a string with the value of "Lookback", a character vector with the value of 'Lookback', an NINST-by-1 string array with values "Lookback", or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors with values of 'Lookback'.

Data Types: char | cell | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify required and 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: LookbackObj = fininstrument("Lookback",'Strike',100,'ExerciseDate',datetime(2019,1,30),'OptionType',"put",'ExerciseStyle',"European",'Name',"lookback_option")

Required Lookback Name-Value Pair Arguments

expand all

Option strike price value, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Strike' and a scalar nonnegative numeric value or an NINST-by-1 vector of nonnegative values for a fixed-strike Lookback option. For a floating-strike Lookback option, specify 'Strike' as a NaN or an NINST-by-1 vector of NaNs.

Note

Use the ConzeViswanathan pricer for a fixed strike Lookback option and use the GoldmanSosinGatto pricer for a floating strike Lookback option.

Data Types: double

Option exercise date, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ExerciseDate' and a scalar or an NINST-by-1 vector using a datetime array, string array, or date character vectors.

Note

For a European option, there is only one ExerciseDate on the option expiry date.

To support existing code, Lookback also accepts serial date numbers as inputs, but they are not recommended.

If you use date character vectors or strings, the format must be recognizable by datetime because the ExerciseDate property is stored as a datetime.

Optional Lookback Name-Value Pair Arguments

expand all

Option type, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'OptionType' and a scalar string or character vector or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array.

A lookback call option gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at the highest price observed during the option's term. This allows the holder to benefit from the highest possible purchase price.

A lookback put option provides the holder with the right to sell the underlying asset at the lowest price observed during the option's term. This allows the holder to take advantage of the lowest possible selling price.

Data Types: char | cell | string

Option exercise style, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ExerciseStyle' and a scalar string or character vector or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array.

Lookback options can be either European-style or American-style, depending on when they can be exercised:

  • European Lookback Option — This type of lookback option can only be exercised at the expiration date.

  • American Lookback Option — An American-style lookback option allows the holder to exercise the option at any time during the option's term.

Data Types: string | cell | char

Maximum or minimum underlying asset price, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'AssetMinMax' and a scalar numeric or an NINST-by-1 numeric vector.

Data Types: double

User-defined name for one of more instruments, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Name' and a scalar string or character vector or an NINST-by-1 cell array of character vectors or string array.

Data Types: char | cell | string
