Reinforcement Learning for Portfolio Management

Why Reinforcement Learning?

1. Learns the optimal action, rather than models the market.
2. Adaptive to temporary changes of the market, due to its online training.
3. Optimizes the long-term (cumulative) reward, rather than the instantaneous benefit.
