How to incorporate momentum in Ornstein Uhlenbeck to capture overshooting in financial markets?
In modelling asset prices, it is a good idea to model it using a fair value or target price concept. Recently Carr & Prado explored this idea to find optimal stop loss/take profit levels when the ...

Simulating exponential Vasicek/Ornstein-Uhlenbeck
I am trying to simulate commodity prices using the exponential Vasicek/Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model from Schwartz 1997 p. 926 Equation (1). I am using the closed form solution from Vega 2018 p. 5 Equation ...

How to trade the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process?
My question comes from this paper, which is a short version of Avellaneda's paper The picture bellow provides a summary of the equations.
Do I understand correctly that in order to trade OU process I ...

Estimating Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process drift
What is the easiest way to obtain a drift parameter of O-U process given I have $\mu$?
Is it ok to linearize the O-U process like so:
$P_{t} = \mu + \phi(P_{t-1}-\mu)+\xi_t$
Form vectors from historic ...

Covariance of mean-reverting Vasicek process?
I am dealing with a mean-reverting Vasicek process defined as:
\begin{equation}
S_t = S_0 e^{-at} + b(1-e^{(-at)}) + \sigma e^{(-at)} \int_{0}^{t} e^{(-as)} \ W_t
\end{equation}
I want to ...

How to perform Monte Carlo simulations to price a Forward contract under the Schwartz mean reverting model?
Objective: (1) Implement the Euler Explicit Method for solving the PDE for option prices under the Schwartz mean reverting model. (2) Compare with a Monte Carlo simulation.
I'm stuck with point 1 (...

Solution to Stock Price SDE with mean reversion [duplicate]
Suppose $S_t$ follows the process (notice the $S_t$ term in the diffusion part):
$$ S_t := S_0 + \int_{h=t_0}^{h=t}\alpha(\mu -S_h)dh + \int_{h=t_0}^{h=t}\sigma S_h dW(h) $$.
I actually don't know how ...

Negative values in CIR model
I'm having difficulty understanding the well known property of the CIR model that it can't go below zero. Wikipedia says that this is because the random shock on the rate will grow very small as r ...

Stochastic process with determinstic frequency of regime changes
Suppose that I have an OU process. For instance, assume that I want to model the interest rates. Suppose that regime change is known ex ante, and is deterministic in terms of frequency (For instance, ...

Modeling Long-Term Mean Reversion in Asset Returns
Fortunately, for obvious reasons, few applications require simulating asset returns over horizons in excess of 30 years.
Nevertheless, simulations over long horizons are sometimes conducted as part ...

Why is OU process stationary?
The mean and variance of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process have time dependence (exponentially decay in time). So they are not constant in time. How can it to be stationary?

Mean Reverting to its own variance?
Good morning all,
When trying to decipher some documentation I have come across this stochastic process which seems to me much like a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (or Vasicek) process.
$$dX_t=-\kappa(X_t-\...

Mean Crossing for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck
Suppose we have classic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. How can we calculate expected number (and variance too) of crossing mean value over the certain period of time?
Say, if we have discrete OU process ...

Calibration of non-mean-reverting OU process
I'm looking for some reference on how to calibrate a non-mean-reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to historical data using MLE or OLS. The model has the following SDE:
$d\lambda(t)=a\lambda(t)dt+\...
