- I want information on the probability distribution of equity
- price changes, and how this distribution varies with time.
- In other words, I want to see plots of p(c) versus c (or equations
- relating them) where p(c) is the probability that the price
- of an equity will change by an amount c in time T. I'd also
- like to know how p(c) varies with T.
-
- Why do I want this? I'm trying to produce a model for
- the intrinsic value of an equity option, i.e. ignoring
- factors such as market trends, option supply and demand etc.
- This is just for fun, by the way. My first attempt
- used a simple triangular p(c) and produced some interesting,
- if not wildly incorrect results, so I'd like to try again with
- something more realistic.
