This work provides an optimal trading rule that allows buying and selling of an asset sequentially over time. The asset price follows a regime switching model involving a geometric Brownian motion and a mean reversion model. The objective is to determine a sequence of trading times to maximize an overall return. The corresponding value functions are characterized by a set of quasi variational inequalities. Closed-form solutions are obtained. The sequence of trading times can be given in terms of various threshold levels. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the results.
Keywords: optimal stopping, Mean-reverting process, quasi-variational inequalities..
