Analyzing the Stock Market Using the Solution of the Fractional Option Pricing Model

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the stock market using the solution of the fractional option pricing model as in literature. First, the Hurst exponent of the stock prices of two different stock index using Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) method was estimated. A program using MATLAB code was written which is used to calculate the Hurst exponent, the volatility, the discount rate, the call and put options prices efficiently so as to save time and avoid computational errors which may arise through manual computation.
