strick price?[edit]

The description did not mentioned about Strike Price. It confused me.

down & out call[edit]

so there are up & out call, up & in call, and they combined into a vanilla call (suppose the same strike price). Similarly, there are down & out put, down & in put. But it is more difficult to image a down & out call. Here, on page 11, there are two diagram, one for the ordinary call, another one for the down & out call. http://www-maths.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~rac/MT4551/FM12.pdf It doesn't take the premium into account, the explantion is still not clear enough.

Creation of Barrier options[edit]

The "citation needed" was recently removed for the sentence "Barrier options were created to provide the insurance value of an option without charging as much premium. " Perhaps this is common knowledge, but it would still be good to know when barrier options were first created. Ulner (talk) 19:21, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
