Simulating equity price development

rm-22
Hi,
forgive me I'm new to quantlib.

Is there an example (C++) for simulating the price of an equity
over a specified number of fixed intervalls,
for example using 15 second intervalls ?

Which ingredients (classes etc.) of quantlib would I need?

Thx

Start with these two:
ql/processes/blackscholesprocess.hpp
ql/methods/montecarlo/pathgenerator.hpp

You can also look at the DiscreteHedging example to see how to set up a
Black-Scholes process with constant risk-free rate, dividend yield and
volatility, and how to pass it to a path generator. Once you have
something like myPathGenerator in the example, you can call its next()
method to generate sample paths. Write back here if you need more
details.
