We consider two data driven approaches, Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Deep Trajectory-based Stochastic Optimal Control (DTSOC) for hedging a European call option without and with transaction cost according to a quadratic hedging P&L objective at maturity ("variance-optimal hedging" or "final quadratic hedging").

To allow convenient and efficient simulation of processes and functionals and in particular the corresponding computation of samplewise derivatives, we propose to specify the processes and functionals in a low-code way close to mathematical notation which is then used to generate efficient computation of the functionals and derivatives in TensorFlow.

In the PDE formulation, this corresponds to adding boundary conditions to the final value problem.

We provide derivations for the case where both short rates are given as single factor processes and present the limits for a single stochastic rate or all deterministic short rates.

In this introductory paper, we discuss how quantitative finance problems under some common risk factor dynamics for some common instruments and approaches can be formulated as time-continuous or time-discrete forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDE) final-value or control problems, how these final value problems can be turned into control problems, how time-continuous problems can be turned into time-discrete problems, and how the forward and backward stochastic differential equations (SDE) can be time-stepped.
