چکیده

We apply machine learning methods to obtain an index arbitrage strategy. In particular, we employ linear regression and support vector regression (SVR) onto the prices of an exchange-traded fund and a stream of stocks. By using principal component analysis (PCA) in reducing the dimension of feature space, we observe the benefit and note the issues in application of SVR. To generate trading signals, we model the residuals from the previous regression as a mean reverting process. At the end, we show how our trading strategies beat the market.

Online Convex Optimization Against Adversaries with Memory and Application to Statistical Arbitrage

In many online learning scenarios the loss functions are not memoryless, but rather depend on history. Our first contribution is a complete characterization of sufficient and necessary conditions for learning with memory, accompanied with a novel algorithm for this framework that attains the optimal O( √ T )-regret. This improves previous online learning algorithms that guaranteed O(T ) regret ...

A general framework for building machine learning models for pricing american index options with no-arbitrage and its limitation

Since the seminar work by Black and Sholes on option pricing early 1970’s, many alternative option pricing models have appeared to address some key stylized facts for option markets such as volatility smile, fat-tail, volatility clustering, and so on. Most of the successful option models are parametric models based on diffusion processes with jumps usually called the Lévy processes and the para...

Stock Price and Index Forecasting by Arbitrage Pricing Theory-Based Gaussian TFA Learning

Viewed as a promising application of neural networks, financial time series forecasting was studied in the literature of neural nets and machine learning. The recently developed Temporal Factor Analysis (TFA) model mainly targeted at further study of the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) is found to have potential application in the prediction of stock price and index. In this paper, we aim to ill...
