Pricing European options and currency options by time changed mixed fractional Brownian motion with transaction costs

Abstract

This study investigates a new formula for option pricing with transaction costs in a discrete time setting. The value of the financial assets is based on time-changed mixed fractional Brownian motion [Formula: see text] model. The pricing method is obtained for European call option using the time-changed [Formula: see text] model in a discrete time setting. Particularly, the minimal value [Formula: see text] of an option respect to transaction costs is obtained. Furthermore, the new model for pricing currency option is presented by utilizing the time-changed [Formula: see text] model. In addition, the impact of time step [Formula: see text], Hurst parameter H and transaction costs [Formula: see text] are also investigated, which substantiate that these parameters play a significant role in our pricing formula. Finally, the empirical studies and the simulation findings corroborate the theoretical bases and indicate the time-changed [Formula: see text] is a satisfactory model.
