    Trading-Agent-

    A trading agent AI is an artificial intelligence system that uses computational intelligence methods such as machine learning and deep reinforcement learning to automatically discover, implement, and fine-tune strategies for autonomous adaptive automated trading in financial markets This project implements a Stock Trading Bot, trained using Deep Reinforcement Learning, specifically Deep Q-learning. Implementation is kept simple and as close as possible to the algorithm discussed in the paper, for learning purposes. Generally, Reinforcement Learning is a family of machine learning techniques that allow us to create intelligent agents that learn from the environment by interacting with it, as they learn an optimal policy by trial and error. This is especially useful in many real world tasks where supervised learning might not be the best approach due to various reasons like nature of task itself, lack of appropriate labelled data, etc. The important idea here is that this technique can be applied to any real world task that can be described loosely as a Markovian process. This work uses a Model-free Reinforcement Learning technique called Deep Q-Learning (neural variant of Q-Learning). At any given time (episode), an agent abserves it's current state (n-day window stock price representation), selects and performs an action (buy/sell/hold), observes a subsequent state, receives some reward signal (difference in portfolio position) and lastly adjusts it's parameters based on the gradient of the loss computed. There have been several improvements to the Q-learning algorithm over the years, and a few have been implemented in this project: Vanilla DQN DQN with fixed target distribution Double DQN Prioritized Experience Replay Dueling Network Architectures Trained on GOOG 2010-17 stock data, tested on 2019 with a profit of $1141.45 (validated on 2018 with profit of $863.41):

    Neon Metropolis

    Neon Metropolis

    ## Inspiration - Classic cyberpunk novels and films such as "Neuromancer" by William Gibson, "Blade Runner" and "Akira" for the aesthetic and themes of advanced technology, artificial intelligence, and a gritty, neon-lit urban setting. - Virtual worlds and massively multiplayer online games like "Second Life" and "Cyberpunk 2077" for the idea of a fully customizable and immersive virtual world. - The bustling cities of the future such as Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong, which are known for their unique blend of advanced technology, towering skyscrapers, and diverse cultures. - The concept of "smart cities" and the Internet of Things (IoT), which can be incorporated into the game world to make it more interactive and responsive to player actions. - The open-world sandbox games like "Grand Theft Auto" and "Saints Row" for the potential for player choice and non-linear gameplay. - The virtual reality and augmented reality technology for providing a more immersive and interactive experience for the players. - The existing cyberpunk communities, such as the cyberpunk fashion, music, and culture. ## What it does The project "Neon Metropolis" is a fully immersive cyberpunk city virtual reality and metaverse that allows players to explore a neon-lit world filled with advanced technology and a diverse cast of characters. Players can create their own unique avatars and build their own virtual businesses and communities within the game world. The game offers endless possibilities for customization and personalization, allowing players to tailor the experience to their own preferences. The game also incorporates elements of "smart cities" and the Internet of Things (IoT) to make the game world more interactive and responsive to player actions. The project aims to offer a fully immersive and engaging virtual world experience with the potential for player choice and non-linear gameplay and the possibility of using Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality technology.
