Option pricing via Fourier transform methods

Stramlit app: https://share.streamlit.io/mcf-long-short/option-pricing-fourier-transform/main/app.py

Introduction

Fourier Transform and Fast Fourier transforms (FFT) represent popular approaches to option pricing. They provide a semi-closed form expressions for European and American option prices. Most importantly, calculation using these methods is fast and accurate, very useful when we need to bring the model to data (to calibrate it). A number of methods have been proposed in the literature. The goal of this project is to implement these algorithms for Black–Scholes and Merton model. Brief introduction to the methods as well as implementation of various models in Python can be found in Hilpisch (2015). A really nicely written intro to the Fourier transform and their applications in option pricing can be found in Schmeltze (2010).

This repository contains implementation of various Fourier transform methods for pricing options: Black–Scholes and Merton model via FT and FFT. There is an implementation of those models, a streamlit web app for testing those models and jupyter notebook for model performance comparison under /notebooks/ directory.

Key implementation references:

  • Hilpisch, Y. (2015) Derivatives Analytics with Python, John Wiley
  • Schmeltze (2010) Fourier Pricing. Full title: Option Pricing formulae using Fourier Transform: Theory and Applications

This repository represents group project work for course in Derivatives for advanced degree Masters in Computational Finance, Union University.
