Equal Risk Option Pricing with Deep Reinforcement Learning
The equal risk pricing methodology for financial derivatives pricing is introduced. The associated deep reinforcement learning implementation is discussed. Numerical experiments results are presented, along with an analysis of the choice of the objective function and of the hedging instruments. The approach is also benchmarked against traditional pricing methods.
