Reinforcement Learning in Trading: How PPO Agents Learn Market Decisions

Supervised learning predicts a label. Reinforcement learning learns a policy — a complete decision-making strategy that maps market states to actions. This distinction makes RL uniquely suited to the sequential, uncertain, multi-step nature of trading decisions.

Machine Learning Trading Signals: How an 8-Model Ensemble Works

Single-model machine learning trading systems are brittle — they overfit to the conditions they were trained on and fail when those conditions change. Ensemble methods combine multiple models to produce more robust, generalised signals. Here's how it works.
