Reinforcement Learning Bots

Territory notes on reinforcement learning bots in bot-driven trading: core mechanics, parameter waypoints, failure record.

Mechanics

The mechanics of reinforcement learning bots form one pipeline: raw market data in, computed signal out, decision routed to the order engine.

Waypoints (Configuration)

Configuring reinforcement learning bots comes down to a short list of parameters. Vendor defaults fit demonstrations; live deployment deserves its own pass.

Wreck Record (Failure Modes)

reinforcement learning bots sinks in recognizable ways: silent feed gaps, parameters no longer matching the market, latency spikes at the worst moment.

Navigation Checks (Evaluation)

Evaluate reinforcement learning bots on measured outcomes — return distribution, drawdown depth, operational burden — never on one lucky stretch.
