# Binary Option Valuation With Skew

In searching for methods of valuation of Binary options with skew, I have found two formulas which are at odds. I cannot find any other references to this valuation formula. Should Vega be positive or negative?:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_option#Skew

$$C = C_{noskew} - Vega_{v} * Skew$$

https://www.cboe.com/institutional/pdf/listedbinaryoptions.pdf

$$c = Binary_{No-Skew} + Vega_{Black-Scholes} * Skew$$

(Comedically, I don't know which to trust more; Lehman or Wikipedia.)

The Price of a Binary Call Option is given by : $$P_{Binary}=-\frac{dP_{call}(S_0,K,T,\sigma^{imp}(K))}{dK}$$ Where $$\sigma^{imp}(K)$$ is the implied Black-scholes volatility. In fact, since the real market corresponds to a smiled volatility, the correct Black-scholes volatility to be used depends on the option strike K.
$$P_{Binary}=-\frac{dP_{call}(S_0,K,T,\sigma^{imp}(K))}{dK}\\=-\frac{\partial P_{call}(S_0,K,T,\sigma^{imp}(K))}{\partial K} |_{\sigma^{imp}(K)}-\frac{\partial \sigma^{imp}(K)}{\partial K}*\frac{\partial P_{call}(S_0,K,T,\sigma^{imp}(K))}{\partial (\sigma^{imp}(K))} \\ =P_{Binary}^{NoSkew}-Skew*CallVega_{Black-Scholes}$$
