u = exp(sigma *sqrt(delta_t))
d = exp(-sigma *sqrt(delta_t))
p = (expt(r * delta_t) - d) / (u - d).
S_0 = 1;
At step n, whats the variance?
I follow the suggestion of this board and use the variance definition:
a node at nth is u^kd^(n-k). the probability is C_n_k * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)
the expected stock price is exp(r * n *delta_t)
variance is sum over 0..n (C_n_k *p^k *(1-p)^(n-k) * (u^kd^(n-k)^2 - expt(-2
*n * delta_t) and I fursther simply this to:
(p*u^2 + (1-p) * d^2)^2 - expt(2*r*n*delta_t)

no support for latex?
delta_t = T/n,
S_T = S_0 * (u^k)*d^(n-k)
= S_0 * [(exp(sigma *sqrt(delta_t)))^k] * [exp(-sigma *sqrt(delta_t))^(n
-k)]
= S_0* [exp(k*sigma*sqrt(delta_t))]*[exp((n-k)*(-sigma)*sqrt(delta_t))]
= S_0*exp[(2k-n)* sigma*sqrt(delta_t)]
= S_0*exp[(2k-n)* sigma*sqrt(T/n)]
= S_0*exp[sigma*sqrt(T)((2k-n)/sqrt(n))] (1)
where k is the number of up-moves, which has binomial distribution that is
k~bin_{n,1/2}, so E(k) = np, V(k)= np(1-p),here p =1/2 is th

if you use martingale measure, just do the same way, k is still binomial
distributed, but with p = (exp(r * delta_t) - d) / (u - d).
to further simply, you should use the approximation:
e^x = 1 + x/1 + (x^2)/2!+ ..., and ignore the terms of delta_t of order >= 2, you will have p = 1/2(1 + sqrt(delta_t)*(r-1/2*(delta_t^2))/sigma).
The reat is easy, you will find the Variance of the stock return should be the same, but the mean changed.

k is a binomial distribution, but k~bin(n, p) and p = exp(sigma * sqrt(delta
_t)). this one is correct, I found on a lot of books and I can prove it.
My understanding is from the variance definition, then use tailor expansion.
But I cannot get it right?

I cannot see why the central limit theorum is useful or appropriate here?

you can ignore the central limit theorem part, i just want show you the
relationship with the continuous case.
do you want direct use
E(ln(S_T/S_0)^2) - E(ln(S_t/S_0))^2 tu calculate the variance of time T? why
this then:
"variance is sum over 0..n (C_n_k *p^k *(1-p)^(n-k) * (u^kd^(n-k)^2 - expt(-
2*n * delta_t) and I fursther simply this to:
(p*u^2 + (1-p) * d^2)^2 - expt(2*r*n*delta_t)" ?

I just used the definition of the variance, the expected stock price at nth
step is exp(r*delta_t*n). So, the variance is:
sum over 0..n [C_n_k *p^k *(1-p)^(n-k) * u^k * d^(n-k)^2] - exp(-
2*n * delta_t).
do you agree with this? If yes,then this is equivalent to
[p*u^2+(1-p)*d^2]^n - exp(2*n*delta_t).
Let me know if you can get to this step?

BTW, I want to compute the stock price return variance. but not the log of
it.

and for one step, John Hull's book page 225 explained clearly.

then the variance should not be sigma^2*T

Oh...
so, you think LN(S_T/S_0) is sigma^2*T? I guess that might be why I cannot
continue the derivation.
Can you show it using the variance definition directly?

you said the variance of the stock price return is not sigma^2*T, but the
variance of Ln(stock price return) is sigma^2 *T? right?
Can you prove the Ln(stock price return) is sigma^2 * T by variance
definition?

actually i have done it already, see the formel (1) in my first post,
you can deduce that
Ln(S_T/S_0) = sigma*sqrt(T)*((2k-n)/sqrt(n))
k is binomial distributed,
so E(k) = np, V(k)= np(1-p), you know that fact?
i think you are actually intrested in how to show V(k) = np(1-p), you can
find it in any probability text book
then you can see direct see V(Ln(S_T/S_0)) = sigma^2*T,
the trick is to use the features of binomial distribution.

Yes, I got this step: V(Ln(S_T/S_0)) = 4 * sigma^2 * T * p(1-p).
You used the tailor expansion for p in your previous posting. May I ask if
you have more strict proof that the limit(p*(1-p)) = 4 as delta_t -> 0.
thanks.

P[S_T=u^a*d^(n-a)]=C(n,a)*p^a*(1-p)^(n-a) a=0,1,2,.....n
then E[X^2]-(EX)^2
