Aprendizaje por refuerzo para ejecutar órdenes según el mercado
Resumen
Este documento describe un entorno Gymnasium para entrenar a un agente que liquide una posición en un horizonte fijo. La observación combina el inventario restante y el tiempo con el diferencial, la profundidad del mercado, la volatilidad y un régimen normal o de estrés. Una acción continua establece el ritmo de ejecución respecto a un calendario de referencia, mientras que los límites de participación y del calendario restringen las operaciones. En el último paso se venden las acciones restantes para asegurar que se complete la liquidación.
Las trayectorias del mercado incorporan volatilidad GARCH, liquidez dependiente del régimen y cambios de precio sin deriva direccional esperada. Los precios de ejecución reflejan el diferencial y el impacto temporal de mercado; las operaciones también afectan a los precios futuros mediante un impacto permanente. Las recompensas penalizan el déficit de implementación, el riesgo del inventario restante y la desviación respecto al calendario de referencia. El código admite parámetros calibrados o valores predeterminados integrados, pero no ofrece resultados de entrenamiento ni pruebas de que una política aprendida supere los métodos de ejecución establecidos. Por ello, los supuestos de simulación y la calidad de la calibración limitan las conclusiones sobre el rendimiento en el mundo real.
Ideas clave
- El agente observa el inventario, el tiempo restante, el diferencial, la profundidad, la volatilidad y el régimen de mercado.
- Las acciones ajustan el ritmo de negociación en torno a un calendario de referencia, sujeto a límites de liquidez y participación.
- La simulación del mercado utiliza volatilidad GARCH y diferenciales y profundidad dependientes del régimen.
- Las recompensas equilibran el déficit de ejecución con el riesgo de inventario y la desviación del calendario.
- El entorno fuerza la liquidación vendiendo todas las acciones restantes al final del horizonte.
