The payoff of Asian option is determined by the average underlying price over some pre-set period of time. However in case of American and Europeon option contract the payoff of the option contract depends on the price of the underlying instrument at exercise.As the normal option the Asian Option is also having two type of option and these are Put( Right to sell) and call(RIght to buy).
