Researchers have developed SOTA (Stock Options Trading Agents), a new framework designed to navigate the complexities of option trading. This system utilizes a post-trained Qwen3.8-27B model, enhanced through supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, to select and implement trading strategies. Evaluations on nine large-cap U.S. equities and SPY demonstrated that SOTA achieved an 18.3% total return with a Sharpe ratio of 1.60 over a six-month out-of-sample period. Interestingly, the study found that while news improves initial training, its inclusion during reinforcement learning negatively impacted out-of-sample returns. AI
