Setting up Black-Scholes variables

Before even starting to calculate a fair option price, we need to set up the needed variables. Our variables are held in an instance of BSHolder:

  • stock: underlying's asset price
  • strike: strike price
  • interest: the annualized risk-free interest rate (e.g. 0.05 corresponds 5%)
  • vola: volatility (e.g. 0.3 corresponds 30%)
  • term: a time in years (e.g. 0.5 corresponds half-year)
var bsholder = new BSHolder(stock,strike,interest,vola,term);

Calculation

All function regarding calculations are members in BS. Pass an instance of BSHolder to a function from BS. E.g.: calculating put price:

var put = BS.put(bsholder);
