Abstract

Foreign exchange (forex) dynamics is modeled using random walk in a complex plane. System movement is guided by the net activity of N independent firms, each defined by a random amplitude and phase. Our model successfully reproduced the exponential decay behavior observed in the actual frequency distribution of forex fluctuations of the G-7 countries and the Philippines.
