deep-quant-lib 0.2.3

A signature-based primal-dual engine for pricing American options.

DeepQuant: An Adaptive Deep Learning Library for Quantitative Finance ⚖️

DeepQuant is a modern, high-performance Python library for pricing American options under advanced stochastic volatility models. It combines state-of-the-art techniques from deep learning and rough path theory to provide accurate, reliable price bounds for complex derivatives.

Usage 🚀

Here are two examples demonstrating how to use the deepquant library.

Quick Start: Simple Example

This example shows the simplest way to price a 1-year, at-the-money put option on Apple (AAPL). The workflow uses sensible, heuristically chosen defaults for the simulation parameters (num_paths and num_steps).

# examples/simple_price.py
import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
from deepquant.data.loader import YFinanceLoader
from deepquant.workflows.elemtary_pricing_workflow import ElementaryPricingWorkflow

# --- 1. Setup ---
asset_ticker = 'AAPL'
try:
    latest_price = yf.Ticker(asset_ticker).history(period='1d')['Close'][0]
except IndexError:
    print(f"Could not fetch price for {asset_ticker}. Exiting.")
    exit()

strike_price = round(latest_price) # At-the-money

# --- 2. Price the Option ---
# Instantiate the data loader and the main workflow.
data_loader = YFinanceLoader(ticker=asset_ticker)
workflow = ElementaryPricingWorkflow(
    data_loader=data_loader,
    models_dir=Path.cwd() / "models",
    risk_free_rate=0.05
)

# Run the pricing process using default simulation parameters.
price_info, engine_results = workflow.price_option(
    strike=strike_price,
    maturity=252, # 1 year in trading days
    option_type='put',
    
    # Defines within what monetary range the primal's price must be.
    primal_uncertainty=0.05 
    # Since the primal must be computed on a stochastic process,
    # there is uncertainty on each primal computation. The process
    # will generate paths and run the primal until the mean is within
    # a 95% confidence interval of width 2 * primal_uncertainty.
    # 
    # For example, if the deduced option price is $2.05, and primal-uncertainty is $0.05,
    # the process will stop once the deduced price's 95%-confidence interval has shrunk to ($2, $2.10).
)

# --- 3. Display Results ---
results = {"Asset": asset_ticker, "Spot Price": latest_price, **price_info, **engine_results}
print("\n--- FINAL PRICING RESULT ---")
print(pd.Series(results).to_string())

Advanced Usage: Backtesting and Full Configuration

This example showcases the full power of the library for a research use case. We will price a 1-year put option on the S&P 500 (^GSPC) as if we were on January 3rd, 2023. We will force the use of the rough Bergomi model and override the default simulation parameters for a high-fidelity run.

# examples/advanced_backtest.py
import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
from deepquant.data.loader import YFinanceLoader
from deepquant.workflows.elemtary_pricing_workflow import ElementaryPricingWorkflow

# --- 1. Setup ---
asset_ticker = 'SPY'
evaluation_date = '2023-01-03'
maturity_date = '2024-01-03'

try:
    spot_price = yf.Ticker(asset_ticker).history(start=evaluation_date, end='2023-01-04')['Close'][0]
except IndexError:
    print(f"Could not fetch price for {asset_ticker} on {evaluation_date}. Exiting.")
    exit()

strike_price = round(spot_price / 50) * 50

# --- 2. Price the Option with Advanced Configuration ---
data_loader = YFinanceLoader(ticker=asset_ticker, end_date=evaluation_date)

workflow = ElementaryPricingWorkflow(
    data_loader=data_loader,
    models_dir=Path.cwd() / "models",
    risk_free_rate=0.05,
    retrain_hurst_interval_days=30,

    force_model='bergomi', # Override the forecast and force the rough model
    bergomi_static_params = { 'H': 0.4, "eta": 1.9, "rho": -0.9 } # Override the bergomi simulation parameters.
)

# Run the pricing process with custom, high-fidelity simulation parameters.
price_info, engine_results = workflow.price_option(
    strike=strike_price,
    maturity=maturity_date,
    option_type='put',
    primal_uncertainty=0.8,

    exchange='NYSE',        # <-- Specify the exchange for which the asset is traded.
    evaluation_date=evaluation_date,

    max_num_paths=300,       # <-- Specify the number of volatility paths to compute.
    max_num_steps=5000,      # <-- Specify the number of steps each volatility path should take.
    # Reduce these paramters in order to reduce resource usage.

    # Note: Smaller values may mean that the primal process will have to run for longer in order to
    # obtain a sufficiently small primal uncertainty on the confidence interval. It may also
    # induce significant bias (ie: miss-pricing the deduced price). Use with caution
)

# --- 3. Display Results ---
results = {"Asset": asset_ticker, "Spot Price": spot_price, **price_info, **engine_results}
print("\n--- FINAL PRICING RESULT (Advanced Backtest) ---")
print(pd.Series(results).to_string())
