Executive summary: we introduce a deep-learning framework for hedging derivatives in markets with discrete trading and transaction costs, without assuming a specific stochastic model for the underlying asset. Unlike traditional approaches such as the Black–Scholes or Leland models, which rely on strong modeling assumptions and continuous-time approximations, the proposed method learns effective hedging strategies directly from data. A key contribution is its ability to perform well with very limited training data—using as few as 256 simulated price trajectories—while outperforming classical hedging schemes in numerical experiments under a geometric Brownian motion setting. This makes the approach both robust and practical for real-world applications where data and model certainty are limited.
