Welcome to FiRe! FiRe is a Reinforcement Learning (RL) pipeline built to research Single- and Multi-Objective trading algorithms.
- Critic-only Deep Q-Learning RL agent with Hindsight Experience Replay link
- Single- and Multi-Objective reward learning with generalization in the sense of [Friedman, Fontaine]
- MLP-type agent’s Neural Network
- Four reward mechanisms (last logarithmic return, average logarithmic return, Sharpe Ratio, profit only when closing)
We recommend python version 3.8.10
. (Check your version with python3 --version
)
We recommend using a virtual environment: to create it, run
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
in the repository's main folder.
Install the required packages and download the Bitcoin dataset by running
make
in the main folder.
To test the code you can run the sin-wave example:
python3 main.py parameters/sin_wave_test_multi.json
In order to run a particular experiments run the main.py
script adding as
argument a json configuration file:
python3 main.py <your configuration file>.json
the json configuration file contains information about:
- The chosen dataset
- The reward or set of rewards to use
- Q-Learning general parameters
- Neural Network hyperparameters
Experiments results are stored in the results_of_experiments
folder, each
subfolder contains the results of each single experiment.
We provide all configuration files for the experiments on the Bitcoin dataset that are shown in the paper. To run the experiments use:
git checkout e2bc651b07eec388ee0b03228e0acdee8550ba7d
sh scripts/run_experiments_in_folder.sh parameters/paper_plots
For the simulation we discussed in our paper we used two datasets:
- Bitcoin hourly close price (BTC-USD)
- Nifty50 minute close price
You can download the Bitcoin dataset by running:
make datasets
(this is not necessary if you already ran make
)
If you want to use latex to create the plots you need to install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra dvipng
You can now set "text.usetex": True,
at the top of src/plots.py
.
Our code utilizes parts of the following open source repositories:
- The Deep Q-Network implementation at https://github.com/mswang12/minDQN
- The stocks environment at https://github.com/AminHP/gym-anytrading
