FA-61452 / Options payoff and settlement / Member archive
Discretely monitored barrier option payoff: a knock-in that never activates pays nothing · case 02
Holders of knock-in options with a rebate receive zero when the barrier is not hit.
Case contract
Inputs kind (up/down, in/out, call/put), observed path including initial and final price, strike, barrier and rebate. The barrier is hit if any observation is >= barrier (up) or <= barrier (down). Knock-out: rebate if hit else vanilla on the final price. Knock-in: vanilla if hit else rebate. Round to 6.
Why this case matters
Option expiry, exercise and settlement engines move cash and shares; a wrong branch misstates obligations.
