Post subject:  Stochastic Calculus

I have just been doing some reading and the Topic of Stochastic Calculus has come up quite a few times. This is the first time in all my forex reading I have heard it mentioned but it seems like it would be interesting to learn. I did A-level Maths( A While ago now ) so I'm familiar with calculus.

If you know about it how has it helped you in your forex trading or am I just wasting my time looking into it ?

Can anyone suggest any decent books or pretty simple introductions into Stochastic Calculus eg. Stochastic Calculus for dummies ?

Stochastic calculus is a branch of mathematics that operates on stochastic processes. It allows a consistent theory of integration to be defined for integrals of stochastic processes with respect to stochastic processes. It is used to model systems that behave randomly.

Thanks for that. How do you use it in your trading ? Is its ridiculously complicated to learn ?

I came in this thread, read a few words and my brain consequently exploded.

Bought a couple of books in the end - Paul Wilmott Introduces Quantitative Finance 2nd Edition and Quantitative trading - How to build your own algorithmic trading business by Ernest Chan. I'll let you know how I get on.

Quantitative trading by Ernest Chan is an excellent and enjoyable read, although I never ended up using it. He also has an excellent blog with lots of discussion and free strategies.

I'm looking forward to his new book.
