Abstract
In the last decade, many kinds of exotic options have been traded and introduced in the financial market. This paper describes a new kind of exotic option, lookback options with knock-out boundaries. These options are knock-out options whose pay-offs depend on the extrema of a given securities price over a certain period of time. Closed form expressions for the price of seven kinds of lookback options with knock-out boundaries are obtained in this article. The numerical studies have also been presented.
