ABSTRACT
Volatility occupies a strategic place in the financial markets. In this context of crisis, and with the great movements of the markets, traders have been forced to turn to volatility trading for the potential gain it provides. The Black-Scholes formula for the value of a European option to purchase the underlying depends on a few parameters which are more or less easy to calculate, except for the realized volatility at maturity which makes a problem, because there is no single value, nor an established way to calculate it. In this article, we exploit the Martingale pricing method to find the expected present value of a given asset relative to a riskneutral probability measure. We consider a bond-stock market that evolves according to the dynamics of the Black-Scholes model, with a risk-free interest rate varying with time. Our methodology has effectively directed us towards interesting formulas that we have derived from the exact calculation, giving the present value of the volatility realized over a period of maturity for a European option in a stochastic volatility model.
