Introduction

(In progress . . . )

In [1] L. Wu extremely clear presented three approaches to option valuation using binomial trees:

1. Delta hedging
2. Portfolio replication
3. Risk-neutral valuation

I also used Refs [2] and [3].

Program

 I implemented the binary tree algorithm using my libraries.

I am adding several new features, please check later.
