About the Course

This course aims at introducing the fundamental concepts of Reinforcement Learning (RL), and develop use cases for applications of RL for option valuation, trading, and asset management. By the end of this course, students will be able to - Use reinforcement learning to solve classical problems of Finance such as portfolio optimization, optimal trading, and option pricing and risk management. - Practice on valuable examples such as famous Q-learning using financial problems. - Apply their knowledge acquired in the course to a simple model for market dynamics that is obtained using reinforcement learning as the course project. Prerequisites are the courses "Guided Tour of Machine Learning in Finance" and "Fundamentals of Machine Learning in Finance". Students are expected to know the lognormal process and how it can be simulated. Knowledge of option pricing is not assumed but desirable....

The final assignment is quite difficult compared with the previous ones and what has been discussed in the course.....

Sorry but the lecture is way too lofty and not much essential. The project has nothing to do with the core of the "reinforcement learning" and it is just a MLE to verify a model of the instructor's paper. really not a good course.

The course is good. However, the course is provided for a really old version of mangodb. And nearly everything has changed now. It is useless now to learn this course for the latest version of mangodb.

The accent of the professor is completely a disaster !!!! Never try this course unless you are confident that you can learn every thing just by reading matrials of this course. Believe me

Great course. You require lot of patience to complete the course. Uses lot of unnecessary history, symbols and equations to explain simple concepts. Overall it is a good overview of the big picture of RL in finance provided if u can withstand the assault of excessive mindless symbols and equations.

Great course. Some financial math knowledge and good level of TensorFlow is needed to complete the final assignment. I´d suggest stopping the videos, re listen to the instructor and read the papers he mentions - it´s the only way to complete the final assignment.
