Our Mission: efficiently automate trading. We continuously develop and share codes for finance.
Our Vision: AI community has accumulated an open-source code ocean over the past decade. We believe applying these intellectual and engineering properties to finance will initiate a paradigm shift from the conventional trading routine to an automated machine learning approach, even RLOps in finance.
FinRL is the first open-source framework to demonstrate the great potential of applying deep reinforcement learning in quantitative finance. We help practitioners establish the development pipeline of trading strategies using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). A DRL agent learns by continuously interacting with an environment in a trial-and-error manner, making sequential decisions under uncertainty, and achieving a balance between exploration and exploitation.
News: We will release codes for both paper trading and live trading. Please let us know your coding needs.

The ecosystem of FinRL:
FinRL 1.0: entry-level for beginners, with a demonstrative and educational purpose.
FinRL 2.0: intermediate-level for full-stack developers and professionals, ElegantRL.
FinRL 3.0: advanced-level for investment banks and hedge funds, a cloud-native solution FinRL-podracer.
FinRL 0.0: hundreds of training/testing/trading environments in FinRL-Meta.
FinRL provides a unified framework for various markets, SOTA DRL algorithms, finance tasks (portfolio allocation, cryptocurrency trading, high-frequency trading), live trading support, etc.

Version History [click to expand]
- 2021-08-25 0.3.1: pytorch version with a three-layer architecture, apps (financial tasks), drl_agents (drl algorithms), neo_finrl (gym env)
- 2020-12-14 Upgraded to Pytorch with stable-baselines3; Remove tensorflow 1.0 at this moment, under development to support tensorflow 2.0
- 2020-11-27 0.1: Beta version with tensorflow 1.5
- FinRL is the first open-source framework that demonstrates the great potential of applying DRL algorithms in quantitative finance. We build an ecosystem around the FinRL framework, which seeds the rapidly growing AI4Finance community.
- The application layer provides interfaces for users to customize FinRL to their own trading tasks. Automated backtesting module and performance metrics are provided to help quantitative traders iterate trading strategies at a high turnover rate. Profitable trading strategies are reproducible and hands-on tutorials are provided in a beginner-friendly fashion. Adjusting the trained models to the rapid changing markets is also possible.
- The agent layer provides state-of-the-art DRL algorithms that are adapted to finance with fine-tuned hyperparameters. Users can add new DRL algorithms.
- The environment layer includes not only a collection of historical data APIs, but also live trading APIs. They are reconfigured into standard OpenAI gym-style environments. Moreover, it incorporates market frictions and allows users to customize the trading time granularity.
