Standard Trinomial Tree Setup
The standard trinomial tree (STT) is a binomial-like framework used for pricing equity options that extends the traditional binomial tree model by incorporating three potential price movements at each node: an upward movement, a downward movement, and a horizontal movement (no change in price). Setup a STT equity options tree model using the following functions:
Functions
