Abstract

1. Introduction

Stock price prediction and automated trading using Deep Q-Network (DQN) reinforcement learning. Trains an agent to make buy/sell/hold decisions on historical stock data.

Rewards are clipped to +1 (profitable trade), -1 (unprofitable trade or selling with no positions), or 0 (hold/buy).

2. Objective

Stock price prediction and automated trading using Deep Reinforcement Learning and Machine Learning

This project demonstrates how Jupyter Notebook, Deep Learning, Machine Learning can be applied to a real-world Data Science problem.
