• Abstract: This paper tackles the challenge of learning non-Markovian optimal execution strategies in dynamic financial markets. We introduce a novel actor-critic algorithm based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) to address this issue, with a focus on transient price impact modeled by a general decay kernel. Through numerical experiments with various decay kernels, we show that our algorithm successfully approximates the optimal execution strategy. Additionally, the proposed algorithm demonstrates adaptability to evolving market conditions, where parameters fluctuate over time. Our findings also show that modern reinforcement learning algorithms can provide a solution that reduces the need for frequent and inefficient human intervention in optimal execution tasks.

  We introduce novel approaches for accelerating prediction strategies within the evolutionary algorithm framework.

  We work towards a unifying paradigm for accelerating policy optimization methods in reinforcement learning (RL) by integrating foresight in the policy improvement step via optimistic and adaptive updates. We define optimism as predictive modelling of the future behavior of a policy, and adaptivity as taking immediate and anticipatory corrective actions to mitigate errors from overshooting predictions or delayed responses to change. We design an optimistic policy gradient algorithm, adaptive via meta-gradient learning, and empirically highlight several design choices pertaining to acceleration, in an illustrative task.
