TradeMaster: An RL Platform for Trading

 

TradeMaster is a first-of-its kind, best-in-class open-source platform for quantitative trading (QT) empowered by reinforcement learning (RL), which covers the full pipeline for the design, implementation, evaluation and deployment of RL-based algorithms.

Overview

TradeMaster is composed of 6 key modules: 1) multi-modality market data of different financial assets at multiple granularity; 2) whole data preprocessing pipeline; 3) a series of high-fidelity data-driven market simulators for mainstream QT tasks; 4) efficient implementations of over 13 novel RL-based trading algorithms; 5) systematic evaluation toolkits with 6 axes and 17 measures; 6) different interfaces for interdisciplinary users.

Installation

Here are the installation tutorials for different operating systems and docker:

• Installation on Linux/Windows/MacOS
• Installation with Docker

Tutorial

We provide tutorials covering core features of TradeMaster for users to get start with.

We also provide a colab version of these tutorials that can be run directly. (colab tutorial)

Useful Script

• Automatic hyperparameter tuning
• Automatic feature generation
• Financial data imputation with diffusion models
• Train RL agents with Alpha158 technical indicators

TradeMaster Sandbox

• White paper
• Market dynamics modeling
• Website API
  1. Agent training Demo
  2. Market dynamics modeling tool
  3. Market simulator web service

Dataset

Dates are in YY/MM/DD format.

OHLCV: open, high, low, and close prices; volume: corresponding trading volume; LOB: Limit order book.

Users can download data of the above datasets from Google Drive or Baidu Cloud (extraction code:x24b)

Model Zoo

TradeMaster provides efficient implementations of the following algorithms:

DeepScalper based on Pytorch (Shuo Sun et al, CIKM 22)

OPD based on Pytorch (Fang et al, AAAI 21)

DeepTrader based on Pytorch (Wang et al, AAAI 21)

SARL based on Pytorch (Yunan Ye et al, AAAI 20)

ETEO based on Pytorch (Lin et al, 20)

Investor-Imitator based on Pytorch (Yi Ding et al, KDD 18)

EIIE based on Pytorch (Jiang et al, 17)

Classic RL based on Pytorch and Ray: PPO A2C Rainbow SAC DDPG DQN PG TD3

Visualization Toolkit

TradeMaster provides many visualization toolkits for a systematic evaluation of RL-based quantitative trading methods. Please check this paper and repository for details. Some examples are as follows:

PRIDE-Star is a star plot containing normalized score of 8 key financial measures such total return (TR) and Sharpe ratio (SR) to evaluate profitability,risk-control and diversity:
