Abstract How to find an effective trading policy is still an open question mainly due to the nonlinear and non-stationary dynamics in a financial market. Deep reinforcement learning, which has recently been used to develop trading strategies by automatically extracting complex features from a large amount of data, is struggling to deal with fast-changing markets due to sample inefficiency. This paper applies the meta-reinforcement learning method to tackle the trading challenges faced by conventional reinforcement learning (RL) approaches in non-stationary markets for the first time. In our work, the history trading data is divided into multiple… More >

Abstract Even though computational intelligence techniques have been extensively utilized in financial trading systems, almost all developed models use the time series data for price prediction or identifying buy-sell points. However, in this study we decided to use 2-D stock bar chart images directly without introducing any additional time series associated with the underlying stock. We propose a novel algorithmic trading model CNN-BI (Convolutional Neural Network with Bar Images) using a 2-D Convolutional Neural Network. We generated 2-D images of sliding windows of 30-day bar charts for Dow 30 stocks and trained a deep Convolutional Neural More >
