TITLE: Reinforcement Learning: From Playing Games to Intraday Algorithmic Trading

ABSTRACT:

This talk introduces Q-learning as a successful algorithm in reinforcement learning. It illustrates the application of a DQL agent to a game from the OpenAI Gym environment. It also illustrates how the same DQL agent can learn to trade financial instruments. The examples are based on self-contained Python code. It is also shown how such a trading bot can be easily deployed to trade algorithmically intraday based on The AI Machine (http://aimachine.io).
