We show that pricing a big class of relevant options by hedging
and no-arbitrage can be extended beyond semimartingale models. To
this end we construct a subclass of self-financing portfolios that
contains hedges for these options, but does not contain arbitrage
opportunities, even if the stock price process is a
non-semimartingale of some special type.
Moreover, we show that the option prices depend
essentially only on a path property of the stock price process,
viz. on the quadratic variation. As a consequence, we can
incorporate many stylized facts to a pricing model without
changing the option prices.
