GBM Candle Builder

What the GBM Candle Builder does

The GBM Price Simulator generates realistic random price paths using Geometric Brownian Motion (dS = S(mudt + sigmadW)). Control drift (mu) to set the average trend direction and volatility (sigma) to control how noisy the path is. Multiple ghost paths show the probability cone of possible futures. Ideal for educational content about market simulation and risk.

Available on Creator.

How to use the GBM Candle Builder

1. Set drift (mu) to control directional bias and volatility (sigma) to control randomness.
2. Choose the number of simulation paths to display the probability cone.
3. Click Generate and ChartAnimator renders the animated reveal of all paths simultaneously.

When to use it

• Explain how market uncertainty widens over time in an options education video.
• Show the difference between high and low volatility market regimes.
• Create visually compelling "what could happen next" content for macro analysis.

Tips

• Set drift to 0 for a pure random walk with no bias in either direction.
• Increase path count to 8 or more for a denser probability cone visual.
• Pair with a Zone overlay to highlight the expected range boundaries.
