This overview explores the binomial model of options pricing, which allows investors to evaluate options based on underlying asset movements. It details the concepts of call and put options, payoff functions, and cash settlements, highlighting the role of exchanges and key parameters such as strike price, volatility, and interest rates. Additionally, it addresses how options can be priced using methods like the Black-Scholes model, solving partial differential equations, and Monte Carlo simulations. The document also briefly explains the algorithm for the binomial method, its numerical implementation, and extensions.
