A random walk with a probability 0.7 being +1 and 0.3 being -1. Starting from 0
1. Walk 100 steps, what is the expectation at the end? ( easy )
2. Set a stop loss at -10, once the random walk hit -10 it stops there and use -10 as the final value. Walk 100 steps, what is the expectation?
Some friend of mine asked this, don't really know the answer for the second part. I guess it involves techniques like reflection?
