More About

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: $$\max (St-K,0)$$

• For a put: $$\max (K-St,0)$$

Here:

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

K is the strike price.

For more information, see Vanilla Option.

Heston Stochastic Volatility Model

The Heston model is an extension of the Black-Scholes model, where the volatility (the square root of the variance) is no longer assumed to be constant, and the variance now follows a stochastic (CIR) process. This process allows modeling the implied volatility smiles observed in the market.

The stochastic differential equation is

$$\begin{array}{l}d{S}_t=(r-q)S_{t}dt+\sqrt{v_t}{S}_{t}d{W}_t\\ d{v}_t=\kappa (\theta -v_t)dt+{\sigma }_v\sqrt{v_t}d{W}_t^v\\ \text{E}\left[d{W}_{t}d{W}_t^v\right]=pdt\end{array}$$

Here:

r is the continuous risk-free rate.

q is the continuous dividend yield.

S_t is the asset price at time t.

v_t is the asset price variance at time t.

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

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

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

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

p is the correlation between the Weiner processes W_t and W^v_t for (-1 ≤ p ≤ 1).

The characteristic function $$f_{Hesto{n}_j}(\varphi )$$ for j = 1 (asset price measure) and j = 2 (risk-neutral measure) is

$$\begin{array}{l}{f}_{Hesto{n}_j}(\varphi )=\exp (C_j+D_j{v}_0+i\varphi \ln S_t)\\ C_j=(r-q)i\varphi \tau +\frac{\kappa \theta }{{\sigma }_v^2}\left[\left(b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j\right)\tau -2\ln \left(\frac{1-g_j{e}^{d_j\tau }}{1-g_j}\right)\right]\\ D_j=\frac{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j}{{\sigma }_v^2}\left(\frac{1-e^{d_j\tau }}{1-g_j{e}^{d_j\tau }}\right)\\ g_j=\frac{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j}{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi -d_j}\\ d_j=\sqrt{{\left(b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi \right)}^2-{\sigma }_v^2\left(2u_{j}i\varphi -{\varphi }^2\right)}\\ \text{where for }j=1,2:\\ u_1=\frac{1}{2},u_2=-\frac{1}{2},b_1=\kappa +{\lambda }_{VolRisk}-p{\sigma }_v,b_2=\kappa +{\lambda }_{VolRisk}\end{array}$$

Here:

ϕ is the characteristic function variable.

ƛ_VolRisk is the volatility risk premium.

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

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

The definitions for C_j and D_j in the Little Heston Trap by Albrecher et al. (2007) are

$$\begin{array}{l}{C}_j=(r-q)i\varphi \tau +\frac{\kappa \theta }{{\sigma }_v{}^2}\left[\left(b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi -d_j\right)\tau -2\ln \left(\frac{1-{\epsilon }_j{e}^{-d_j\tau }}{1-{\epsilon }_j}\right)\right]\\ Dj=\frac{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi -d_j}{{\sigma }_v^2}\left(\frac{1-e^{-d_j\tau }}{1-{\epsilon }_j{e}^{-d_j\tau }}\right)\\ {\epsilon }_j=\frac{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi -d_j}{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j}\end{array}$$

Bates Stochastic Volatility Jump Diffusion Model

$$\begin{array}{l}{f}_{Bates(\varphi )}=\exp (C_j+D_j{v}_0+i\varphi \ln S_t)\exp {\left({\lambda }_p\tau (1+{\mu }_J\right)}^{m_j+\frac{1}{2}}\left[{(1+{\mu }_j)}^{i\varphi }{e}^{{\delta }^2(m_{j}i\varphi +\frac{{(i\varphi )}^2}{2})}-1\right]-{\lambda }_p\tau {\mu }_{J}i\varphi )\\ m_j=\left\{\begin{array}{l}{m}_1=\frac{1}{2}\\ m_2=-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right\}\\ C_j=(r-q)i\varphi \tau +\frac{\kappa \theta }{{\sigma }_v{}^2}\left[\left(b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j\right)\tau -2\ln \left(\frac{1-g_j{e}^{d_j\tau }}{1-g_j}\right)\right]\\ Dj=\frac{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j}{{\sigma }_v^2}\left(\frac{1-e^{d_j\tau }}{1-g_j{e}^{d_j\tau }}\right)\\ g_j=\frac{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi +d_j}{b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi -d_j}\\ d_j=\sqrt{{\left(b_j-p{\sigma }_{v}i\varphi \right)}^2-{\sigma }_v^2\left(2u_{j}i\varphi -{\varphi }^2\right)}\\ \text{where for }j=1,2:\\ u_1=\frac{1}{2},u_2=-\frac{1}{2},b_1=\kappa +{\lambda }_{VolRisk}-p{\sigma }_v,b_2=\kappa +{\lambda }_{VolRisk}\end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{l}d{S}_t=(r-q-{\lambda }_p{\mu }_j)S_{t}dt+\sigma S_{t}d{W}_t+J{S}_{t}d{P}_t\\ \text{prob(}d{P}_t=1)={\lambda }_{p}dt\end{array}$$

Here:

ϕ is the characteristic function variable.

τ is the time to maturity (τ = T- t).

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

Carr-Madan Formulation

The Carr-Madan (1999) formulation is a popular modified implementation of Heston (1993) framework.

Rather than computing the probabilities P₁ and P₂ as intermediate steps, Carr and Madan developed an alternative expression so that taking its inverse Fourier transform gives the option price itself directly.

$$\begin{array}{l}Call(k)=\frac{e^{-\alpha k}}{\pi }{\displaystyle {\int }_0^{\infty }\mathrm{Re}\left[e^{-iuk}\psi (u)\right]}du\\ \psi (u)=\frac{e^{-r\tau }{f}_2(\varphi =(u-(\alpha +1)i))}{{\alpha }^2+\alpha -u^2+iu(2\alpha +1)}\\ Put(K)=Call(K)+K{e}^{-r\tau }-S_t{e}^{-q\tau }\end{array}$$

Here:

r is the continuous risk-free rate.

q is the continuous dividend yield.

S_t is the asset price at time t.

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.

α is the damping factor.

u is the characteristic function variable for integration, where ϕ = (u - (α+1)i).

f₂(ϕ) is the characteristic function for P₂.

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

To apply FFT or FRFT to this formulation, the characteristic function variable for integration u is discretized into NumFFT(N) points with the step size CharacteristicFcnStep (Δu), and the log-strike k is discretized into N points with the step size LogStrikeStep(Δk).

The discretized characteristic function variable for integration u_j(for j = 1,2,3,…,N) has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of (N-1) (Δu), and it approximates the continuous integration range from 0 to infinity.

The discretized log-strike grid k_n(for n = 1, 2, 3, N) is approximately centered around ln(S_t), with a minimum value of

$$\ln (S_t)-\frac{N}{2}\Delta k$$

and a maximum value of

$$\ln (S_t)+\left(\frac{N}{2}-1\right)\Delta k$$

Where the minimum allowable strike is

$$S_t\exp \left(-\frac{N}{2}\Delta k\right)$$

and the maximum allowable strike is

$$S_t\exp \left[\left(\frac{N}{2}-1\right)\Delta k\right]$$

As a result of the discretization, the expression for the call option becomes

$$Call(k_n)=\Delta u\frac{e^{-\alpha k_n}}{\pi }{\displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^N\mathrm{Re}\left[e^{-i\Delta k\Delta u(j-1)(n-1)e^{i{u}_j}\left[\frac{N\Delta k}{2}-\ln (S_t)\right]}\psi (u_j)\right]}{w}_j$$

Here:

Δu is the step size of the discretized characteristic function variable for integration.

Δk is the step size of the discretized log strike.

N is the number of FFT or FRFT points.

w_j is the weights for quadrature used for approximating the integral.

FFT is used to evaluate the above expression if Δk and Δu are subject to the following constraint:

$$\Delta k\Delta u=\left(\frac{2\pi }{N}\right)$$

Otherwise, the functions use the FRFT method described in Chourdakis (2005).
