Abstract: A new modular approximate Bayesian inferential framework is proposed that enables fast calculation of probabilistic predictions of future option prices. We exploit multiple information sources, including daily spot returns, high-frequency spot data and option prices. A benefit of this modular Bayesian approach is that it allows us to work with the theoretical option pricing model, without needing to specify an arbitrary statistical model that links the theoretical prices to their observed counterparts. We show that our approach produces accurate probabilistic predictions of option prices in realistic scenarios and, despite not explicitly modelling pricing errors, the method is shown to be robust to their presence. Predictive accuracy based on the Heston stochastic volatility model, with predictions produced via rapid real-time updates, is illustrated empirically for short-maturity options.
