February 9, 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of China's ETF options market. To celebrate this anniversary, China will open the ETF options market to qualified foreign investors on October 9, 2025. This is both an opportunity and a challenge. This is the first time in a decade that China has decided to open its ETF options market. The challenge is that foreign investors will face competition from China's 1.08 million options investors. This article will discuss the basic rules and requirements for options trading in China. In addition, we will introduce the application of Confusion Quotient sentiment index in options trading, and analyze how options contract premiums fluctuated significantly after the Fed cut interest rates by 50 basis points on September 18, 2024. Within a month, the Fed's interest rate cut triggered a sharp rise in call options contracts in China's options market, with a maximum profit of 3507.32%, and put option contracts suffered huge losses, with a maximum loss of 99.91%. Our findings prove that China's ETF options market is highly volatile, presenting both opportunities and challenges for foreign investors. Options trading is a double-edged sword, and you need to be cautious when entering the market.

Stock market prediction provides the decision-making ability to the different stockholders for their investments. Recently, stock technical indicators (STI) emerged as a vital analysis tool for predicting high-dimensional stock data in various studies. However, the prediction performance and error rate still face limitations due to the lack of correlational analysis between STI and stock movement. This paper proposes a correlational strategy to overcome these challenges by analyzing the correlation of STI with stock movement using neural networks with the feature vector. This strategy adopts the Pearson coefficient to analyze STI and close index of stock data from 8 Chinese companies in the Hong Kong stock market. The results reveal the price prediction of BiLSTM outperformed the GRU and LSTM in various datasets and prior studies.
