Understanding the Binomial Tree
The binomial tree models possible stock price paths over discrete time steps:
- Up Movement: Stock price increases by factor u = eσ√Δt
- Down Movement: Stock price decreases by factor d = 1/u
- Probability: Risk-neutral probability p = (erΔt - d) / (u - d)
- Option Value: Calculated at each node, considering early exercise
- Dividends: Accounted for at ex-dividend dates
Disclaimer: Subject to changes in Implied Volatility for options with time left until expiration.
The Binomial model provides theoretical prices and may differ from actual market prices.
