Machine Learning Ensembles and Trading Strategies for Stock Option Forecasting

Summary

This paper describes a follow-up study on forecasting stock option trends with machine learning and applying those forecasts in trading. It examines recurrent neural networks and long short-term memory networks, then evaluates combining multiple models to assess whether their predictions can support improved decisions. The work also applies the Quasi-Reversibility Method, which the abstract identifies as part of the forecasting approach.

For the trading component, the paper presents two strategies and simulated investment results. It uses a discrete-time stochastic binomial asset pricing model and portfolio hedging to estimate investment outcomes. The abstract says the analysis relies on historical data, but does not provide details about the dataset, evaluation design, specific results, or whether the simulations account for transaction costs and changing market conditions. Its claims therefore describe a research approach and simulation, not evidence of live trading performance.

This paper introduced key aspects of applying Machine Learning (ML) models, improved trading strategies, and the Quasi-Reversibility Method (QRM) to optimize stock option forecasting and trading results. It presented the findings of the follow-up project of the research "Application of Convolutional Neural Networks with Quasi-Reversibility Method Results for Option Forecasting". First, the project included an application of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to provide a novel way of predicting stock option trends. Additionally, it examined the dependence of the ML models by evaluating the experimental method of combining multiple ML models to improve prediction results and decision-making. Lastly, two improved trading strategies and simulated investing results were presented. The Binomial Asset Pricing Model with discrete time stochastic process analysis and portfolio hedging was applied and suggested an optimized investment expectation. These results can be utilized in real-life trading strategies to optimize stock option investment results based on historical data.
