We apply methods of quantum mechanics for mathematical modeling of price dynamics at the financial market. We propose to describe behavioral financial factors (e.g., expectations of traders) by using the pilot wave (Bohmian) model of quantum mechanics. Trajectories of prices are determined by two financial potentials: classical-like $V(q)$ ("hard" market conditions, e.g., natural resources) and quantum-like $U(q)$ (behavioral market conditions).
