RiskMiner: Discovering Formulaic Alphas via Risk Seeking Monte Carlo Tree Search

The formulaic alphas are mathematical formulas that transform raw stock data into indicated signals. In the industry, a collection of formulaic alphas is combined to enhance modeling accuracy. Existing alpha mining only employs the neural network agent, unable to utilize the structural information of the solution space. Moreover, they didn't consider the correlation between alphas in the collection, which limits the synergistic performance. To address these problems, we propose a novel alpha mining framework, which formulates the alpha mining problems as a reward-dense Markov Decision Process (MDP) and solves the MDP by the risk-seeking Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). The MCTS-based agent fully exploits the structural information of discrete solution space and the risk-seeking policy explicitly optimizes the best-case performance rather than average outcomes. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of our framework. Our method outperforms all state-of-the-art benchmarks on two real-world stock sets under various metrics. Backtest experiments show that our alphas achieve the most profitable results under a realistic trading setting.
