Publisher's Synopsis
Reactive Publishing
Step beyond traditional algorithmic trading-into the realm of true machine intelligence.
In this groundbreaking guide, James Preston empowers you to build trading agents that learn, adapt, and thrive in dynamic markets using Reinforcement Learning (RL). Whether you're a quant, data scientist, or ambitious retail trader, this book gives you the tools to implement cutting-edge AI that thinks like a trader-and evolves like one.
Inside, you'll master:The foundations of RL: Q-learning, Policy Gradients, and Actor-Critic methods
Designing trading environments with OpenAI Gym-style simulations
Building and training deep RL agents using TensorFlow & PyTorch
Real-world market applications: position sizing, momentum strategies, and risk-aware decision-making
Backtesting RL agents vs. traditional algos for performance benchmarks
Online learning loops that adapt to changing volatility and macro regimes
This is more than theory. It's a practical blueprint for developing intelligent, autonomous trading strategies using the most powerful AI framework available today.
Whether you're developing institutional-grade systems or pioneering the frontier of retail automation-this book is your launchpad.
