cliquet (Ratchet) option
A cliquet option, also known as Ratchet option, is a series of forward-starting (a.k.a. deferred strike) options where the strike for each forward start option is set equal to a fixed percentage of the spot price at the beginning of each period.

When a derived argument structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to fill it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.
Reimplemented from Option.
