Contract Description 

Altiplano options have two components: 

- a vanilla-type payoff if a barrier event occurs

- a coupon payoff if it does not

 

Given a basket of n stocks, the payoff is:      Altiplano payoff

where IB is 1 if barrier event occurs and 0 if it does not, in which case the option would pay a coupon C. 

Here we have used a call option, but we could use any option. 

 

The barrier activation can usually be made by the individual assets themselves. This makes the Altiplano sensitive to individual asset moves, rather than the collective sum.

Go have a look at https://www.derivativesacademy.com.

You will find the content in the 'Derivatives Academy' section in a book format. 
The full content is not yet available as I am rewriting it and improving it.

You can try the Exotic Derivatives pricer under the 'Derivatives Pricer' section (https://www.derivativesacademy.com/derivatives-pricer/). I will speed up the page soon as I forgot to compress some images.
Each application allows you to price differents products and contains links towards the correct section of the book. 
You will then be able to get practical and theoretical knowledge quite easily.

I teach quite often using the pricer. You can get so much information and answers to your questions thanks to it.

Take advantage of it as much as you can to hone your knowledge!
