It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

The question seems to be overly broad. Have you looked at the corresponding Wikipedia article (and the links provided therein)? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_options_pricing_model – olaker Mar 24 '11 at 11:17
question is too broad and too basic - voting to close – vonjd Mar 24 '11 at 11:56
This is a bit too broad. We are really pushing for focused questions that are deeper than wikipedia. Please check out Wikipedia and Hull's book on options, futures, and other derivatives, and let us know what if that motivates any more questions. – Richard Herron Mar 24 '11 at 13:21
