Parameters
calputstr, length 1

Determines whether the option is a call or a put.

A call; the holder has a right to buy.

A put; the holder has a right to sell.

xfloat, array-like, shape

must contain , the th strike price, for .

sfloat

, the price of the underlying asset.

tfloat, array-like, shape

must contain , the th time, in years, to expiry, for .

sigmafloat

, the volatility of the underlying asset. Note that a rate of 15% should be entered as .

rfloat

, the annual risk-free interest rate, continuously compounded. Note that a rate of 5% should be entered as .

Notes

opt_binary_aon_price computes the price of a binary or digital asset-or-nothing option which pays the underlying asset itself, , at expiration if the option is in-the-money (see the S Introduction). For a strike price, , underlying asset price, , and time to expiry, , the payoff is, therefore, , if for a call or for a put. Nothing is paid out when this condition is not met.

The price of a call with volatility, , risk-free interest rate, , and annualised dividend yield, , is

and for a put,

where is the cumulative Normal distribution function,

and

The option price is computed for each strike price in a set , , and for each expiry time in a set , .
