Event Description

We propose a new class of options, which pay out a given function of the underlying at the time, when the range of the underlying exceeds a given threshold, the range being defined as the difference between the running maximum and the running minimum of the underlying's price. It turns out that within the class of continuous-path models these options are perfectly hedgeable and both the price and the hedge are model-free.

Joint work with Bruno Dupire.
