Abstract
A formalism is developed to model time evolution of traders’ expectations in the FX market. The paper proves that the next-period probabilistic perspective follows the path of the fastest growth of subjective uncertainty and new information embodied in the next-period distribution. Time evolution is modeled in terms of a Fredholm-type integral equation. A technique is suggested to recover the spectrum of an unknown second-order differential operator.
