Custom Indicators for Reinforcement Learning Trading Tutorial | $GME Python Trading PT2

Posted By on March 18, 2021

So you watched the first tutorial….

Performance for our GME RL Bot was…meh

You’re probably thinking, “There has to be a way to perform better!”

Wellllll, there sure is!

In this video you’re going to learn how to create your own custom financial technical indicators for use in a Python Reinforcement Learning bot. And, we’re going to use it to trade Gamestop ($GME) stocks in spite of the short squeeze. We’ll calculate the relative strength index (RSI), simple moving average (SMA) and on-balance volume (OBV) indicators and use it to train the reinforcement learning model powered by stable baselines.

Whilst we’ve shown it used for trading Gamestop – GME, you could use it to trade AMC Entertainment, Bitcoin BTC and so on. The awesome thing about the gym0anytrading environment is that it makes it a ton easier to leverage it with your own trading style or strategy.

In this video, you’ll learn how to:
1. Calculate RSI, OBV and SMA using the Python package Finta for technical analysis
2. Integrate new trading indicators into the gym-anytrading GME Trading Environment for Reinforcement Learning
3. Train a reinforcement learning model to trade using the newly calculated indicators
