Abstract

This paper proposes a new merged LSTM-MLP deep learning approach for option pricing. The model has the advantage of combining time series data with static data. On the one hand, it learns from historical asset returns, as well as considers the option characteristics at the pricing date. This configuration does not need an estimation for an explicit volatility measure, improving upon existing methods. We test it on S&P 500 European call options from 2015 to 2022. The model excels in accuracy and risk-adjusted returns, showcasing its usefulness in real-life applications.
