Before you start on your random walk model - I suggest you have a thorough read of a non randiom walk down wall St. by Andrew Lo et al. If you still want to look at random walk processes, I suggest you give Markov Chains a spin. however, you don't say what you are analysing for.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] trying to develop a stock analysis tool

Hi,
I have to develop a tool for analysing stocks for my Masters course.
After researching, I found random walk model to be a good way to
predict stock prices. But I have no idea how to model the algorithm or
to get relavent information. I was able to get a hold of a year's
historical data. Though it would be difficult to predict stocks, I
would like to develop a tool which would analyse with reasonable
accuracy.
Could anyone tell me how to go about this project? I was planning to
use Java to develop the application and Oracle to store data.
Thanks,
Vinod
