= Risk-neutral probability in the Cox--Ross--Rubinstein model
{c}

The unique equivalent martingale measure in the one-stock Cox--Ross--Rubinstein model assigns each up move probability
$$
q=\frac{R-D}{U-D}=\frac{1-d}{u-d}
$$
and each down move probability $1-q$. Under this measure the discounted stock is a <martingale>.
