Discretely monitored barrier option payoff: barrier direction is inferred from the option type · case 03

Up-and-out puts and down-and-in calls monitor the wrong side of the barrier.

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.
