[SGM Geometric Brownian Motion]

26 juil.

Description:

This indicator uses Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) simulations to predict possible price trajectories of a financial asset. It helps traders visualize potential price movements, assess risks, and make informed decisions.

Geometric Brownian Motion:

Geometric Brownian Motion is an extension of standard Brownian motion (or Wiener process) used to model the random behavior of particles in physics. In finance, this concept is used to model the evolution of asset prices over time in a continuous manner. The basic idea is that the price of an asset does not only change randomly but also exponentially depending on certain parameters.

Basic formula
The formula for the evolution of the price of an asset S(t) under MBG is given by the following stochastic differential equation:

𝑑𝑆(𝑡) = 𝜇𝑆(𝑡)𝑑𝑡 + 𝜎𝑆(𝑡)𝑑𝑊(𝑡)

where:

S(t) is the price of the asset at time

μ is the expected growth rate (or drift).

σ is the volatility of the price of the asset.

dW(t) represents the noise term, i.e. the standard Brownian motion.
Explanations of the terms

Expected growth rate (μ):

This is the expected average return on the asset. If you think your asset will grow by 5% per year,
μ will be 0.05.
Volatility (σ):

It is a measure of the uncertainty or risk associated with the asset. If the asset price varies a lot, σ will be high.

Noise term (dW(t)):

It represents the randomness of the price change, modeled by a Wiener process.
