Abstract

Artificial Neural networks are increasingly employed for option pricing in recent years. However, the pricing ability and effectiveness of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have not been investigated adequately in the field of financial options. Hence, it is interesting to investigate whether convolutional neural networks are effective in pricing Chinese options. In this paper, an innovative idea of combining 2D-CNN with market technical indicators (TIs) has been implemented. The research is conducted based on the 50ETF options which are obtained from Shanghai Stock Exchange covering a time span from January 2018 to December 2022. Having compared the pricing accuracies between the CNNs (with and without TIs) and the Black-Scholes model, we show that the method of combining CNNs with technical indicators (TIs) are effective in pricing Chinese options. This research is useful for practitioners and researchers in the field of option trading.
