Can AI be Used for Options Trading?

It already is every day. AI is particularly well-suited for options trading due to its ability to process vast amounts of options price data, identify patterns, epistemically regularize, and make predictions in a repeatable way. Helium Trades harnesses the power of AI to optimize options trading strategies, providing relail traders with a significant edge in their portfolios.

How Does Helium’s Strategy Work?

Helium’s strategy for short volatility involves selling an at-the-money (ATM) option and buying multiple out-of-the-money (OOTM) options to hedge. This approach is designed to capitalize on the time decay of the sold option while protecting against significant market moves with the hedged positions.

The rationale behind this strategy is rooted in supply and demand dynamics. By selling ATM options, traders can benefit from the premium decay, which is typically accelerated due to the higher implied volatility (and ATM options have the highest theta usually). Meanwhile, the OOTM options serve as a protective measure, providing a cushion against unexpected market swings.

Moreover, Helium’s strategy employs a multifaceted approach that includes:

• High Convexity and Reward:Risk: Optimizing for potential acceleration in the value of the option relative to the underlying asset’s price.


• Market Expected Value: Using conservative assumptions to maximize the expected terminal value of each position based on market prices and Black-Scholes probabilities.


• Helium Expected Value: Employing regularized machine learning models to forecast and maximize the expected terminal value of each trade.


• Minimizing Time Decay: Reducing the carrying cost of long options by minimizing theta decay.


• Helium vs. Market Uncertainty: Identifying underlyings with potentially under-priced risk by comparing market and Helium uncertainty levels.


• Cost Efficiency: Optimizing for cheaper options/spreads to minimize potential maximum loss.


• Long Trade Duration: Focusing on options with longer expiration to allow more time for significant underlying moves.


• Maximum Option Lifetime Value: Predicting and maximizing the highest price over the option's lifetime for the long leg while minimizing it for the short leg.


• AI Price Forecasts: Weighting call options higher on bullish stocks and put options higher on bearish stocks based on machine learning forecasts.


• Low Implied Volatility Rank (IVR): Seeking assets with lower IV to exploit potential IV expansion.


• High Liquidity: Prioritizing trades with tighter bid-ask spreads to enhance execution efficiency.


• Historical Performance: Relying on models with a historically high risk-adjusted return.


• Selling High IV & Buying Low IV: Optimizing for selling options with higher implied volatility and buying options with lower implied volatility.

Is AI Better at Trading Than Humans?

AI has several advantages over human traders, including the ability to analyze large datasets quickly and without psychological biases, identify statistical and testable patterns, and execute trades rationally without emotional bias. However, the best results are often achieved when AI is used to augment human decision-making. Helium Trades provides the tools and insights that allow traders to leverage AI while maintaining control over their portfolios.
