This repository contains an open challenge for a Portfolio Balancing AI in Forex.

The state of the FX market is represented via 512 features in X_train and X_test.

These 512 features summarizes the price-actions of 10+1 assets in past 20 days.

Hourly log returns of assets during train & test periods are in y_train and y_test.

example.py contains an implementation, which balances a long-short portfolio.

Up to 2x leverage is allowed. Your objective is to outperform following risk metrics.

Please send me your saved model so that I can test it on a blind set for the contest.

I will list results from challengers here by sorting them using the industry-standard

risk measures including (but not limited to) the Calmar, Sortino, Omega ratio(s), etc.

Why use my features as environment summary? because they're performing well!

Max. Drawdown: 2.56% Sortino Ratio: 13.65x

Sharpe Ratio: 3.99x Stability: 96.35%

Tail Ratio: 2.99x Value at Risk: -0.52%

If you obtain successful results and you want to use your RL model for live-trading,

you can contact me for subscribing to a real-time feed of the environment summary.

Your objective results here can also attract business opportunities such as job offers.

Are you an academician? Use FX RL challenge to experiment with it in your publication.

You won't need to worry about the right feature extraction, as I already did that for you.

Fixed input for challengers will allow a clear benchmarking of RL methods developed.

Below is a survey paper about reinforcement learning applications in financial markets.

Please, contact me if you would like to sponsor the FX RL challenge; or organize a local

meetup, workshop or Hackathon where RL practitioners can participate to this challenge.

PyTorch implementation of Multi-processed training of a shared model where batches

are divided across processes. Looking for a person to contribute a TensorFlow version,

as well as an Open AI Gym environment to realistically simulate live-trading conditions.
