TT-DAC-PS: Twin-Target Deterministic Actor-Critic with Policy Smoothing for Optimal Trade Execution
Researchers have developed a new reinforcement learning algorithm called TT-DAC-PS for optimizing stock trade execution. This deterministic actor-critic architecture incorporates several advanced techniques, including twin targets, policy smoothing, and conservative Q-regularization, to minimize overestimation errors. The algorithm was tested on U.S. stock data and demonstrated superior performance in reducing implementation shortfall compared to traditional methods and other reinforcement learning baselines. AI
