Black-Scholes Formula

A mathematical model expanded and refined by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes that produces a theoretical estimate for the value of a European-style option. The model was originally published in an article entitled “The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities” in 1973 and appeared in the Journal of Political Economy. The model is considered a key concept in modern financial theory and is used extensively in the pricing of equity options.

This is a definition, not a recommendation. Options carry risk and can expire worthless. See how the desk actually trades at TrueTrader.
