We offer a hybrid (trinomial tree plus semi-analytic formulas) pricing method for FX Double Window Double Barrier option . Currently, the model uses spot implied volatility for the first time window, and forward implied volatility for the second time window. These are Black-Scholes implied volatilities from traded vanilla European options, but,…[Read more]
