QuoteOriginally posted by: Kamil90There is really only one question: how to price a forward start option that can be exercised at any time after a week it is been initiated and the payoff is max(S_T-K,0), where strike K is the average of the stock prices for the last week. All the rest is fixed, in Black Scholes framework.I have written that I want an optional "exercise" feature, however you are right, I should have written mathematically. Anyways, even optional forward start is a good option to consider but it is really tricky how to price an American type option that pays average for the last month...I am not sure they exist but I want to know how to price them. It is interesting!
