>question in return: why cauchy and what for?
I can hazard a guess. A cauchy distribution can be made to fit the
distribution of price movements better than a gaussian, especially if
you let the exponent have a fractional part. I did some experiments
with this in the past. As I recall the math was a bit less intractable
than for a paretian.
