Pricing call option binomial tree

Check out my ebook on quant trading where I teach you how to build profitable systematic trading strategies with Python tools, from scratch.

Take a look at my new ebook on advanced trading strategies using time series analysis, machine learning and Bayesian statistics, with Python and R. We've currently seen two methods for pricing a call option with a one-step binomial tree in our articles on hedging and risk neutral pricing.

The third method is that of replication.

The basic approach towards pricing the option via replication is to determine the price of other market instruments that can guarantee to replicate the option in all possible states.

We have already shown that if an option is worth as much as a portfolio of other instruments, in the future, for all possible states, then the portfolio of these instruments and the option must have equal value today, otherwise there is an arbitrage opportunity.
