Reinforcement Learning for Execution and Trading
Reinforcement Learning
RL is a mathematical framework for experience-driven autonomous learning.
The essence of RL is learning through interaction.
Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning
An autonomous
agent
, controlled by a machine learning algorithm, observes a
state s(t)
from its environment at
timestamp t
.
The agent interacts with the environment by taking an
action a(t)
in
state s(t)
.
When the agent takes an action, the environment and the agent transition to a new
state s(t+1)
based on the current state and the chosen action.
Reinforcement Learning
The goal of the agent is to learn a
policy
π
that maximizes the expected return.
