I am trying to achieve the following result:

1. Get a grid over the title page


2. Have a figure that looks like a stock price process

Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

Very similar to @samcarter's nice answer and also a grid. (I am not very enthusiastic about punching in texts from a screen shot, so I let it be, but it will be straightforward to add the nodes or to use whatever template you have for that.) A local coordinate system a la this answer is installed.
