• Abstract: Quantitative trading (QT), which refers to the usage of mathematical models and data-driven techniques in analyzing the financial market, has been a popular topic in both academia and financial industry since 1970s. In the last decade, reinforcement learning (RL) has garnered significant interest in many domains such as robotics and video games, owing to its outstanding ability on solving complex sequential decision making problems. RL's impact is pervasive, recently demonstrating its ability to conquer many challenging QT tasks. It is a flourishing research direction to explore RL techniques' potential on QT tasks. This paper aims at providing a comprehensive survey of research efforts on RL-based methods for QT tasks. More concretely, we devise a taxonomy of RL-based QT models, along with a comprehensive summary of the state of the art. Finally, we discuss current challenges and propose future research directions in this exciting field.

  We cast the development of better RL algorithms as a machine learning problem itself in a process called meta-RL. We discuss how, at a high level, meta-RL research can be clustered based on the presence of a task distribution and the learning budget available for each individual task. We conclude by presenting the open problems on the path to making meta-RL part of the standard toolbox for a deep RL practitioner.

  Reinforcement learning (RL) problems can be challenging without well-shaped rewards. We provide a theoretical framework that reformulates a single-task RL problem as a multi-task RL problem defined by a curriculum. We show that sequentially solving each task in the multi-task RL problem is more computationally efficient than solving the original single-task problem.
