From Black-Scholes to Online Learning: Dynamic Hedging under Adversarial Environments
We consider a non-stochastic online learning approach to price financial
options by modeling the market dynamic as a repeated game between the nature
(adversary) and the investor. We demonstrate that such framework yields
analogous structure as the Black-Scholes model, the widely popular option
pricing model in stochastic finance, for both European and American options
with convex payoffs. In the case of non-convex options, we construct
approximate pricing algorithms, and demonstrate that their efficiency can be
analyzed through the introduction of an artificial probability measure, in
parallel to the so-called risk-neutral measure in the finance literature, even
though our framework is completely adversarial. Continuous-time convergence
results and extensions to incorporate price jumps are also presented
