Abstract

We develop a stochastic process that model the adjustment of the market price of a traded security involving multiple assets base on information affecting demand and supply of an asset. This is based on the Walrasian price adjustment assumption ,that change in price is due to excess demand. When supply and demand curve are linearised about the equilibrium point, the process becomes a logistics form of Brownian motion.
