Abstract

The aim of the paper is paper is twofold. Firstly, we will derive an explicit closed formula for pricing the compound call option contingent upon a currency call option. Secondly, we will develop a pricing formula for the compound call option contingent upon the power call option.

Highlights

  • A party with the long position in a currency option has the right ( but not obligation) to trade (buy/sell) a predetermined amount of the Foreign currency at a fixed predetermined price (strike pricier in domestic currency) on the fixed agreed date (maturity/expiry)
