Examples

# SLPI for a buyer (seller), where stop loss is set 10% above (below) initial market price.

set.seed(5)
# GBM price process parameters
mu <- 0.2
sigma <- 0.1
S0 <- 100

# time
Y <- 2
N <- 500
delta <- Y/N
t <- seq (0, 1, length = N + 1)

# price process and date vector
W <- c(0, cumsum ( sqrt(delta) * rnorm (N)))
f_gbm <- S0 * exp(mu * t + sigma * W)
tr_dates <- seq(Sys.Date(), Sys.Date()+500, by = "day")

# implement stop-loss strategy for buyer
slpi_b <- slpi(q = 10,
tdate = tr_dates,
f = f_gbm,
tper = 0.1,
tcost = 0,
int = TRUE)

# implement stop-loss strategy for seller
slpi_s <- slpi(q = - 10,
tdate = tr_dates,
f = f_gbm,
tper = - 0.1,
tcost = 0,
int = TRUE)
