We study the optimal timing strategies for trading a mean-reverting price process with a finite deadline to enter and a separate finite deadline to exit the market. The price process is modeled by a diffusion with an affine drift that encapsulates a number of well-known models, including the...

This paper studies the optimal risk-averse timing to sell a risky asset. The investor's risk preference is described by the exponential, power, or log utility. Two stochastic models are considered for the asset price – the geometric Brownian motion and exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models –...

This book provides a systematic study on the optimal timing of trades in markets with mean-reverting price dynamics. We present a financial engineering approach that distills the core mathematical questions from different trading problems, and also incorporates the practical aspects of trading,...
