Abstract

The incorporation of deep learning approaches into algorithmic trading has altered the landscape of financial markets. Deep Q-Network (DQN), a reinforcement learning algorithm, has emerged as a promising tool for learning optimal tactics inside complicated and dynamic trading situations. This research article intends to extensively explore the applicability of DQN in algorithmic trading. The paper commences with an in-depth examination of DQN, clarifying its architecture, operational principles, and inherent strengths. By merging deep neural networks with Q-learning, DQN excels in approximating optimal action-selection rules, making it well-suited for the convoluted structure of financial markets.
