Markov Chains: Modeling the Stock Market with Markov Chains

By Amit Ghosh

Markov Model: Application of Markov Chain in Stock Market
By Amit Ghosh

This book presents a focused, technically grounded approach to applying Markov Chains in financial market analysis. Written for advanced traders, quantitative analysts, and researchers, it introduces how memoryless stochastic models can be used to identify market regimes, forecast price movements, and enhance decision-making in real trading environments.

The content includes practical construction of transition matrices using real-time stock data (such as NIFTY 50), classification of states (uptrend, downtrend, consolidation), and implementation through Python. It covers the integration of Markov Chains with tools like Geometric Brownian Motion, Wiener Processes, and random walk simulations, offering a detailed mathematical and programming framework for analyzing volatility and trend probabilities.

Topics covered:

Building and interpreting transition matrices for stock trend analysis

Modeling NIFTY 50 behavior with Markov Chains using Python

Applying stochastic methods to regime switching and price forecasting

Exploring Random Walk Theory and its contrast with price action models

Techniques for volatility modeling and risk analysis using GBM and EMH assumptions

This is not an introductory text. It assumes familiarity with basic trading concepts and a working knowledge of Python.
