This paper investigates the integration of deep learning-based volatility forecasting with portfolio optimization strategies. We develop and evaluate a framework that combines three neural architectures— ResNet1D, WaveletCNN, and Temporal Convolutional Autoencoder—with both classical mean-variance optimization and reinforcement learning approaches. Using a comprehensive dataset spanning 2012-2025, we systematically analyze how different volatility-sentiment indicators (DIX, GEX, PCR, SKEW, VIX) and rebalancing frequencies affect portfolio performance across eight
