Abstract: We propose a simple stochastic model of market behavior. Dividing market participants into two groups: trend-followers and fundamentalists, we derive the general form of a stochastic equation of market dynamics. The model has two characteristic time scales: the time of changes of market environment and the characteristic time of news flow. Price behavior in the most general case is driven by three stochastic processes, attributed to trend-followers, fundamentalists, and news flow, respectively. The model demonstrates the wide range of peculiarities which are typical in real markets: multiscale behavior, clustered volatility, weak correlations between the price changes on successive trading days, etc.
