FinRL: Financial Reinforcement Learning twitter facebook google+ linkedin

Downloads Downloads Python 3.6 PyPI Documentation Status License

FinRL (website) is the first open-source project to show the great potential of deep reinforcement learning in finance.

The FinRL ecosystem is a unified framework, including various financial markets, state-of-the-art algorithms, financial tasks (portfolio allocation, cryptocurrency trading, high-frequency trading), live trading, etc.

Roadmap Level Users Example Desription
0.0 (Preparation) preparation practitioners of financial big data FinRL-Meta a universe of market environments
1.0 (Proof-of-Concept) entry-level beginners this repo demonstration, education
2.0 (Professional) intermediate-level full-stack developers, professionals ElegantRL financially optimized DRL algorithms
3.0 (Production) advance-level investment banks, hedge funds Podracer cloud-native solution

Outline

Overview

FinRL has three layers: market environments, agents, and applications.

For a trading task (on the top), an agent (in the middle) interacts with an environment (at the bottom), making sequential decisions.

Run FinRL_StockTrading_NeurIPS_2018.ipynb step by step for a quick start.

File Structure

The main folder finrl has three subfolders applications, agents, finrl_meta.

We employ a train-test-trade pipeline with three files: train.py, test.py, and trade.py.

Status Update

Version History [click to expand]
  • 2021-08-25 0.3.1: pytorch version with a three-layer architecture, apps (financial tasks), drl_agents (drl algorithms), neo_finrl (gym env)
  • 2020-12-14 Upgraded to Pytorch with stable-baselines3; Remove tensorflow 1.0 at this moment, under development to support tensorflow 2.0
  • 2020-11-27 0.1: Beta version with tensorflow 1.5

Contributions

  • FinRL is the first open-source framework to demonstrate the great potential of applying DRL algorithms in quantitative finance. We build an ecosystem around the FinRL framework.
  • The application layer provides interfaces for users to customize FinRL to their own trading tasks. Automated backtesting tool and performance metrics are provided to help quantitative traders iterate trading strategies at a high turnover rate. Profitable trading strategies are reproducible and hands-on tutorials are provided in a beginner-friendly fashion. Adjusting the trained models to the rapidly changing markets is also possible.
  • The agent layer provides state-of-the-art DRL algorithms that are adapted to finance with fine-tuned hyperparameters. Users can add new DRL algorithms.
  • The environment layer includes not only a collection of historical data APIs, but also live trading APIs. They are reconfigured into standard OpenAI gym-style environments. Moreover, it incorporates market frictions and allows users to customize the trading time granularity.
