GBM Intuition

SDE idea in words and the exact terminal solution.

Model

dS = r S dt + σ S dW under risk-neutral measure.

Exact terminal

S_T = S_0 exp((r-½σ²)T + σ√T Z), Z~N(0,1)

Path-dependent

Need multi-step discretization for Asians, barriers, etc.

Challenge

Write the multi-step update formula as a comment in code.

Tips
  • Risk-neutral drift uses r
  • Exact terminal for vanilla
  • Multi-step for path deps
