Option Hedging Through Reinforcement Learning
摘要
We propose a Reinforcement Learning algorithm to hedge the payoff of a European call option. The algorithm is first tested on the Black-Scholes-Merton model, where the problem has a well known solution, so that we can compare the strategy obtained by the algorithm to the theoretical optimal one. Then, in a more realistic case that includes transaction costs, the algorithm outperforms the standard delta hedging strategy.
