Abstract. This paper discusses the basic properties of barrier options and an analytical solution for pricing such contracts. The significance of monitoring is considered, for example the difference between continuous monitoring and discrete monitoring. Pitfalls arising from a naive application of standard option valuation
If the barrier is not reached, the holder receives the payoff at expiry. When the payoff is the same as that for a vanilla call, the barrier option is termed a European down-and-out call. Figure 1 shows two realisations of the random walk, of which one ends in knock-out, while the other does not. The second walk in the figure
3 Jul 2015 Abstract. Barrier options were first priced by Merton in 1973 using partial differential equation. In this work, we present a closed form formula for pricing European barrier option with a moving barrier that increases with time to expiration. We adopted a three-step approach which include; justifying that barrier
gamma values being very large close to the barrier. This thesis investigates methods to hedge barrier options that can minimize the profits and losses that arise when using a dynamic technique known as delta hedging. We present two methods by Carr (1994) and Derman (1994) that create a static portfolio of vanilla.

Unlike previous sections where every problem presented came with a satis- factory solution, this section generally confines itself to presenting intuition for problems without providing convincing solutions. That's because con- vincing solutions are thin on the ground. In fact, prices quoted for certain kinds of barrier option can
payoffs that depend on two market levels: the strike and the barrier. Investors can use them to gain exposure to (or enhance rcturns from) firturc market scenarios more complex than the simple bullish or bearish expectations embodied in stan- dard options. [n addition, their premiums are usudly lower than those of sandard
Abstract. This thesis examines the performance of five option pricing models with respect to the pricing of barrier options. The models include the Black-Scholes model and four stochastic volatility models ranging from the single-factor stochastic volatility model first proposed by Heston (1993) to a multi-factor stochastic
21 Mar 2012 Barrier Options a. • Their payoff depends on whether the underlying asset's price reaches a certain price level H. • A knock-out option is an ordinary European option which ceases to exist if the barrier H is reached by the price of its underlying asset. • A call knock-out option is sometimes called a.
