Boness 1964 Option Pricing Formula [Loxx]
Boness 1964 Option Pricing Formula [Loxx] is an options pricing model that pre-dates Black-Scholes-Merton. This model includes Analytical Greeks.
Boness (1964) assumed a lognormal asset price. Boness derives the following value for a call option:
c = SN(d1) - Xe^(rho * T)N(d2)
d1 = (log(S / X) + (rho + v^2 / 2) * T) / (v * T^0.5)
d2 = d1 - (v * T^0.5)
where rho is the expected rate of return to the asset.
Analytical Greeks
Inputs
S = Stock price.
X = Strike price of option.
T = Time to expiration in years.
r = Expected Rate of Return
v = Volatility of the underlying asset price
cnd (x) = The cumulative normal distribution function
nd(x) = The standard normal density function
convertingToCCRate(r, cmp ) = Rate compounder
