Mixture-of-Experts models show mixed results in crypto trading

A new research paper explores the use of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models in cryptocurrency order execution, specifically examining training stability and failure modes. The study found that while MoE architectures did not significantly improve mean implementation shortfall compared to standard Double Deep Q-Learning (DDQL) on BTC/USDT data from Binance, they did help suppress policy collapse. However, the researchers suggest that annealed exploration, rather than expert partitioning, is the primary factor in preventing these collapses, indicating a potential training specification failure that MoE might mask.

    Mixture-of-Experts for Cryptocurrency Order Execution: Training Stability, Tail Risk, and Failure Modes

    arXiv:2610.03369v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement-learning policies for order execution can vary substantially across training seeds, so apparent architectural gains may reflect favourable training realisations rather than reproducible properties of the archite…
