It seems to be self-motivated!

Maybe this will help. Generally, stochastic (pronounced stow-KAS-tik, from the Greek stochastikos, or "skilled at aiming," since stochos is a target) describes an approach to anything that is based on probability. In mathematics, a stochastic approach is one in which values are obtained from a corresponding sequence of jointly distributed random variables. Classic examples of the stochastic process are: (1) guessing the length of a queue at a stated time given the random distribution over time of a number of people or objects entering and leaving the queue and (2) guessing the amount of water in a reservoir based on the random distribution of rainfall and water usage. The single most effective trading tool IMO. askresearch.com Now mix in a little java code and insert that into R/T 1 minute tick x tick charts and you have another useful tool in a volatile market environment. I like your stochastic model and may insert it into a web page today.<g> aci.net
