摘 要: 甲醇是重要的新型清洁能源,其期货产品上市已近10年,论文采用机器学习技术研究甲醇期货价格的预测模型和交易规则。论文采用随机森林算法构造甲醇期货价格预测模型,使用甲醇产业链上下游产品的基本面特征作为输入变量,并对输入变量进行归一化处理构造对照模型,结合使用基于Aberration策略思想构建的交易策略集合,使用夏普比率对交易策略进行筛选,构造有效的甲醇期货量化交易模型。研究结果显示,论文模型在保证交易策略良好泛化能力的情况下可以实现高出同期10年期国债收益率1.2倍以上的年化收益率,也表明利用甲醇产业链上下游产品的基本面特征能够很好地解释甲醇期货价格,并结合使用夏普比率筛选的基于Aberration交易策略思想的交易规则能够构建有效的甲醇期货量化投资模型。

Abstract: Methanol is an important new type of clean energy. Its futures products have been on the market for nearly 10 years. This article uses machine learning technology to study the prediction models and trading rules of methanol futures prices. The paper uses the random forest algorithm to construct a methanol futures price prediction model, uses the fundamental characteristics of the upstream and downstream products of the methanol industry chain as input variables, and normalizes the input variables to construct a control model, combined with the use of Aberration strategy ideas to build a set of trading strategies. Use Sharpe ratio to screen trading strategies and construct an effective quantitative trading model for methanol futures. The research results show that the model in this paper can achieve an annualized rate of return that is 1.2 times higher than the rate of 10-year Treasury bonds in the same period while ensuring a good generalization ability of the trading strategy. It also shows that the use of the fundamental characteristics data of the upstream and downstream products of the methanol industry chain can well explain the methanol futures price, and combined with the use of Sharpe ratio screening, the trading rules based on the Aberration trading strategy idea can construct an effective methanol futures quantitative investment model.
Key words: methanol futures; price prediction; random forest; strategy generalization
期貨交易是市场经济发展到一定阶段的产物,成熟的期货交易市场在一定程度上可以认为是完全竞争市场,是经济学中最理想的市场形式。我国第一个商品期货交易所的出现要追溯到20世纪90年代,而世界上最早的期货交易市场出现在19世纪50年代,相比于这些成熟国外期货市场,我国的期货交易市场还不成熟,期货理论对现实期货交易的支持还不够。国内甲醇期货产品于2011年10月28日在郑州商品交易所上市,已有十多年之久。……
