I have some trouble with the following code. Some jump and a decentered path are present but it's not the case, normally for Black Scholes diffusion!

Is anyone see a problem in my code ?

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mu  = 0
sig = 0.5

def generate(S0, T, nt, sig, mu):
    nt = int(nt)
    T = float(T)
    dt  = T / nt

    St  = [S0] * nt

    t   = linspace(0,T,nt)
    dWt = np.random.normal(0, 1, nt)
    dWt[0] = 0.
    Wt  = dWt.cumsum()

    return S0 * np.exp(sig * sqrt(float(dt)) * Wt + (mu - sig**2/2.) * t)

    for i in range(100):
    plt.plot(generate(180., 2., 252*2, sig, mu))

enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ I just meant that if someone on this site tried to run the code themselves to figure out what's wrong with it, they would have problems because they couldn't get self.sig. So perhaps re-write it as a function and provide sufficient code to re-produce the chart (and make it clear what the problem is). Also, people who write python typically don't use int and float the way you're using them. Python's dynamically typed for a reason. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Modeling is good but must be seen in log plot since EDS works on return. Brownian part of BS is $B_t~\sigma~dW_t$ and not only $\sigma~dW_t$ like for OU process. !enter image description here $\endgroup$
