In a Fixed Strike Option with Lookback Feature (Partial Time), the strike price is predetermined, while at expiration, the payoff on the call option is the difference between the maximum asset price less the strike price during the time between the starting period of the lookback to the maturity of the option (Figure 61.1). Conversely, the put will pay the maximum difference between the lowest observed asset price less the strike price during the time between the starting period of the lookback to the maturity of the option.
