Digital option — concept

About this app

Cash-or-nothing: a fixed amount if the price lands above the strike — otherwise nothing. The payoff is a step function, the fair value today the smooth S-curve above it; “time decay” stiffens it into the step. Debunks “the payoff grows with the distance to the strike” — it is a cliff.
