- Abstract summary: Investors and regulators can benefit from a realistic market simulator that enables them to anticipate the consequences of their decisions in real markets.
Traditional rule-based market simulators often fall short in accurately capturing the dynamic behavior of market participants.
In this study, we explore an agent-based simulation framework employing reinforcement learning (RL) agents.

- Abstract: Investors and regulators can greatly benefit from a realistic market simulator that enables them to anticipate the consequences of their decisions in real markets. However, traditional rule-based market simulators often fall short in accurately capturing the dynamic behavior of market participants, particularly in response to external market impact events or changes in the behavior of other participants. In this study, we explore an agent-based simulation framework employing reinforcement learning (RL) agents. We present the implementation details of these RL agents and demonstrate that the simulated market exhibits realistic stylized facts observed in real-world markets. Furthermore, we investigate the behavior of RL agents when confronted with external market impacts, such as a flash crash. Our findings shed light on the effectiveness and adaptability of RL-based agents within the simulation, offering insights into their response to significant market events.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a branch of machine learning where agents learn by interacting with their environment.
This paper dives deep into the integration of RL in statistical arbitrage strategies tailored for High-Frequency Trading (HFT) scenarios.
Through extensive simulations and backtests, our research reveals that RL not only enhances the adaptability of trading strategies but also shows promise in improving profitability metrics and risk-adjusted returns.
