Abstract
Subject Nowadays, traditional methods may hardly forecast how prices for assets will go. The scenario-based approach becomes more widely spread in various sciences, including financial mathematics. The key idea of the scenario-based approach is a scenario tree representing the hierarchical structure of data, outlining how things may unfold, and evaluating the probability. This approach helps model various scenarios of the future situation, thus allowing to make appropriate decisions.
Objectives The research produces a one-period scenario tree showing how the price for the asset may develop. We also analyze the sensitivity of the parameter influencing the number of descendants of vertices. Methods The research is based on the economic-mathematic model of the geometric (Brownian) motion, which is expressed through the stochastic differential equation. The model and sensitivity analysis are implemented in MATLAB. We also applied methods of comparative and static analysis, graphic interpretation. Results We constructed a one-period scenario tree for a change in the options price. Having analyzed the sensitivity of the descendant vertex parameter, we determined the optimal range of option strike price intervals. Conclusions and Relevance We chose the geometric motion model as the basis for the scenario-based approach since it helps construct the one-period scenario tree. This approach allows to evaluate the scenario probability. However, its weakness is that it generates the unoptimal number of descendant vertex of a tree. Furthermore, the market situation requires to test the asset for liquidity through various metrics. For example, the number of deals and trading volume.

often cause substantial errors and inaccuracy. This directly results from human interference into the interpretation of initial data. The scenario-based approach is very efficient since it implies the examination of key scenarios of future developments. The scenario-based approach came into practice in various areas, i.e. strategic planning and risk analysis
[1-3], management and portfolio investment, financial mathematics [4, 5].
This research continues the previous studies [6, 7] which constructed complex portfolios of stock options [8, 9]. The key idea behind the studies was to address issues of linear programming and measure the optimal number of assets. However, those studies failed to consider possible changes in prices for underlying assets over time. The scenario-based approach takes this fact into account indeed. The research focuses on this aspect.
The Development of the General Methodology for the Scenario-Based Approach
The scenario-approach methodology originated in the 1960s. There appeared the first definitions of scenario and methodological framework for analysis. The pioneering studies were devoted to forecast of oil prices [10, 11], political and social processes [12]. Other proceedings delve into the essentials of the scenario-based approach in strategic management and decision making, psychological aspects of scenario development.
The studies point out several fundamental purposes of the scenario analysis:
1) foreseeing possible losses in the future in line with various factors1;
2) identifying the appropriate and suitable strategic decision in a respective case [13];
3) revising the current decisions and knowingly adjust them for the future situation.
Fig. 1 summarized two approaches to unfolding the concept scenario as the literature analysis shows. In the first column, the concept scenario is viewed from perspectives of predicting probabilities of the future strategies, whilst in the second column the necessity of methods is emphasized.
The term scenario is often used incorrectly, meaning forecast and vision. However, as the definitions in Fig. 1 show, scenario is not forecast, i.e. the description of the relatively predictable outcome of the current events. In the mean time, scenario is not a vision, i.e. a view of the desirable future. Scenario shall be a possibility to find a

reasonable, elaborate and, more often than note, estimated answer to the what-if question.
Fig. 2 illustrates a fundamental comparison of three concepts - vision, forecast and scenario [14]. We should note that what differentiates scenario from the other two notions is an opportunity to manage risks, whilst vision and forecast imply the tendency of concealing them.
According to the main classification of scenarios, there are two types of them [14]:
1) prospective scenarios reflect a process as if development trends remain unchanged;
2) normative scenarios outline alternative ways of attaining desired goals and forecast how the goals can be achieved.
Let us understand the scenario tree as a variety of possible outcomes in the future and assessment of the probability of each interim and resulting scenarios.
Making the scenario tree, we necessarily determine the optimal number of relevant sets. M. Porter suggests taking a set of three scenarios - the best-case, worst-case and base (as the most probable) scenarios. According to the research referred to herein [15], the above classification is far from being perfect since the base scenario may conflict with the other two. To eliminate the controversy, the author suggest setting two or three macroscenarios, which would subsequently engender their individuals scenarios, thus ensuring the logic consistency of the tree. The studies exemplify how scenario trees are made [16-18].
Another study [19] describes a methodological approach to making a scenario tree for a portfolio of option contracts, considering the probabilistic weight of a path from one vertex to the other one. However, the model has a narrow point of measuring the value a determining the number of tree vertices at each step (the interval width of the strike price of options). In the study, researchers fail to verify the liquidity of strike prices in the real market. We are going to assess the model in more detail, conduct a sensitivity analysis of the value and check the liquidity of the resultant strike prices. Whereas this research continues the studies of other authors [6, 7], we choose the price for options in RTS futures contracts as the underlying asset.
The Mathematical Model for a Scenario Tree
The linear Bachelier model is the simplest model of the underlying asset price [20]:
St =S 0 + r-t +o-Wt,
(1)
dSt=r-S-dt+o-St-dWt
or dS
= r-dt + o-dW,.
(1)
(2)
Applying the Ito's lemma2, we find the differential of lnSt for the expression (2):
d ln St=
dt+o-dWt. (3)
St =S0-exp { Ht }, where

where St is the asset price, S0 is the initial asset price, r is a risk-free interest rate, a is volatility, Wt is the Wiener process.
It was L. Bachelier who performed the first empirical research verifying the random walk hypothesis. Under the random walk hypothesis, the financial result of investment in assets has no serial correlation, and the probability of such random walks tend to be invariant. The Bachelier model (1) has a serious drawbacks as it may produce the negative value of St.
The Brownian motion (geometric, economic) [21] is believed to me more realistic, where St is expressed as a stochastic differential equation:
S~ log N exp { r-t }-S 0, exp {2-r-t}-S2-exp{CT2-t} —1 .
The Wiener process Wt shall mean a mathematical model of the ordinary Brownian motion, as set by N. Wiener in 1923 [22] relying upon the proceedings by L. Bachelier [20]. It is noteworthy that Wt constitutes the random walk model with the uninterrupted trajectory and time and independent Gaussian (normally distributed) increments.
We adhere to the following rules when constructing the scenario tree.
3. At step t=1 ,t , the first (last) descendant vertex corresponds to the highest (lowest) possible price for the underlying asset.
4. The underlying asset price in neighboring descendant vertices shall differ by the value A > 0, which is equal to a price increment of the underlying asset.

Numerical Performance
Continuing the research indicated herein [6, 7], we focus on the following task. We need to make a financial portfolio of call options contracts for short-term investment of monetary funds. In this case, at the first step the scenario tree should be constructed to show how the price for the underlying asset changes. The second step is about the optimization [6, 7].
In this article, we give a numerical example of the scenario tree construction. The futures contract for RTS index is the underlying assets for purposes of this research. Whereas we deal with short-term investment, the two-step procedure will be performed, taking T = 2 and tT = 22 days. The risk-free interest rate r is accepted as the lowest short-term rate on RUB-denominated direct REPO transactions through auctions with the Central Bank of Russia: r = 7.25 percent. The volatility is chosen from the volatility curve graph: a = 24.51 percent. The rest of the parameters are presented in Table 1.
As per the formula (2), the value of options contracts depends on the price of the underlying asset, risk-free interest rate, volatility and period before vesting. Therefore, the risk-free interest rate and volatility are permanent values, while some random process describes only changes in the price for the underlying asset.
As a result of the modeling process, we constructed the scenario tree. Fig. 3 depicts its concise form. Table 2 indicates all resultant probabilities of the scenarios.
The resultant tree reflects the development of a random process for two steps (T = 2). The state of the process at each step is presented as numbers above the tree peaks. At the step t =1, the root vertex (1,1) has the value of S(lil) = 107,500 points. At the step t = 2, the ancestor vertex N^.d has 16 descendants. Then can turn into any value S'n,i) within the interval [90,000; 127,500] with an increment of the underlying asset price equal to A = 2,500 points.
Branches of the scenario tree show the probability of transit from an ancestor vertex to a descendant vertex. For example, at the step t = 2, the conditional probability of the descendant vertex i proceeding from the ancestor vertex (1,1) equals 0.0139. In the mean time, the conditional probability of the fifteenth descendant vertex proceeding from the ancestor vertex (1,1) equals p15n,i) is 0.0151.
t=2
v = 1
i = 1
As per the formula (10), the probability of the scenarios will be as follows: Pi = 0.0139, P15 = 0.0151. The normalization conditions (11) are met for the values given in Table 2.
The Effect of ó on the Interval Width of Strike Prices
The liquidity of the derivatives market influences and respectively limits the use of the resultant scenario tree. It may be that the probability of the resultant scenario is more than zero, but the scenario is a priori unfeasible and impracticable. The liquidity of options contracts are measured with the open interest (Fig. 4) and trading volume (Fig. 5).
Open interest represents the total number of contracts that are not closed or delivered, continuing to exist as of the current date and being due in the future definite period. The assumption is that if the buyer and seller agreed on a contract, the open interest value increased by two contracts (one from each party). Fig. 4 presents a graph reflecting the number of open positions for call options on RTS index futures contracts per various strike prices as of the scenario tree date (corresponding with Table 1).
Trading volume shows the number of contracts concluded within a certain period of time (day, week). If trading volume with respect to some strike price under the options contract increases, it signifies the arising interest of the market actors and raises its liquidity respectively. Fig. 5 displays the graph of trading volume for the call options contract on the RTS index futures per different strike prices as of the scenario tree date (corresponding to Table 1). Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 shows that the options contract with the strike price of 107,500 points corresponds with the largest number of open positions and trading volume. It is due to the fact that the value of Vd, i.e. 107,500 points, is the central strike price [23].
Let us consider the economic interpretation of coefficients in the formula (4). The r-coefficient serves as the value of the potential asset growth. The expression (r - 0.5) is average of the instant pace of change in a random process H=(H()(>0 . The
coefficient a determines the diffusion of the instant pace of change in the financial result (volatility). The base rule for selecting the value ó is called the three sigma rule.
Let us substitute the mathematical expectation of a random value with the normal distribution, taking it as m = E(Ht). Then as seen in the distribution curve, 99.7 percent of all possible outcomes with respect to the underlying asset price as of the vesting date of the options contract will lie within the range of three standard deviations ( 3 = 3), and 95.4 percent will fall within the range of two standard deviations4:
Pr (-2 a < m < 2 a ) = 0.954; 3 = 2;
Pr (-2.326 a < m < 2,326 a ) = 0.98; 3 = 2.326;
Pr (-3 a < m < 3 a ) = 0.997; 3 = 3.
Assigning different values to 3 , we assess the extent to which this parameter influences the interval width [ aT ;bT] . The values of the remaining parameters of the model correspond with the previous ones (Table 1). Fig. 6 presents the graphs showing the distribution of the modelled probabilities for various values of 3 . , The parameter 3 evidently influences the interval width [aT;bT] and the number of descendants N(n t) proceeding from the ancestor vertex.
The probability distribution graph is not symmetric (Fig. 6) against the central strike price of 107,500 points. It also demonstrates the right-hand drift of curves. This is evidence of a strong probability of growth in the underlying asset price, rather than a drop. This assumption is empirically corroborated (Table 3).
As per Table 3, the scenario tree has more rising descendants N"P,t) than falling ones N (we mean an increase and decrease in the price for the underlying asset). Hence an increase in the parameter 3 results in a stronger probability Pr and the greater number of descendants from the ancestor vertex. The numerical outcome of modeling is given in Table 4 and Table 5.
As per Tables 2-5, the price for the underlying asset as of the options vesting date will lie within the range of strike prices:
[92,500; 125,000] with a 95.4% probability Pr;
[90,000; 127,500] with a 98% probability Pr;
[85,000; 135,000] with a 99,7% probability Pr.
Hence, as the parameter 3 increases, the range of strike prices widens. However, such a range is not
4 Silant'ev S.A. Logika optsionnoi torgovli [Logic of trade in options contracts]. Moscow, SmartBook, I-treid Publ., 2008, 344 p.
always the best width of the strike price interval in terms of their liquidity.
As the input data show (Table 1), investment is made for a short-term period. According to the research indicated herein [24], it is unreasonable to distant values of strike prices with respect to the present-day price for the underlying asset in the case of short-term investment. Furthermore, in the case of short-term investment, a range exceeding 40 percent is not advisable. Thus, the scenario tree should be constructed for an options contract, strike prices of which range from 60 percent to 140 percent of the current price for the underlying asset.
The resultant intervals of strike prices for the three cases (Table 3) have a range which does not exceed 40 percent. To precise the interval, it is necessary to refer to key metrics of options liquidity, i.e. open interest and trading volume. The graphs in Fig. 4 and 5 show the very low liquidity of options contracts with strike prices below 100,000 points. Therefore, it would be more reasonable to set the left-hand edge of the interval at 100.000 points. The right-hand edge should be set at 127,500 points (Pr = 98%) or 135,000 (Pr = 99.7%) indeed. Both cases are tolerable and acceptable.
Conclusion
In this research, we provided a profound description of the methodological approach to constructing scenario trees for options contract, considering the probability of transition from an ancestor node to a descendant
vertex. The geometric (Brownian) motion model underlies our numerical modeling of trends in the price for the underlying asset. Using the model, we designed the one-period scenario tree (Fig. 3) and measured strike prices of the options contract and their respective probabilities. The assessment of the parameter 3 appeared to be a bottle neck in the use of the model since it determines a range of strike prices for the options contract. Fig. 6 displays the log-normal distribution of probabilities in line with the three values of the parameter 3 . The graph is seen to have a right-hand drift, signifying that there is a strong probability that the price for the underlying asset will be rising than falling. The fact is corroborated numerically in Table 3. The number of rising descendant vertices of a corresponding ancestor node NUPn t) always exceeds the number of falling descendant vertices NdOW) .
The three sigma rule ensures a strong probability that strike prices for the options contract will widely range. However, the rule still has a serious drawback. It overlooks the liquidity of the options contract with a corresponding strike price in the real market. That is the reason why various indicators should be employed since they make up a correct view of the liquidity. In this research, we analyzed two key indicators, i.e. the number of open transactions (open interest) and trading volume. As the analysis shows, strike prices below 100,000 points of the underlying asset proved to be non-marketable in case of short-term investment. Therefore, such strike prices should not be used for constructing scenario trees for subsequent steps.
