Autonomous Trading Agent

A sophisticated multi-agent cryptocurrency trading system that leverages LSTM networks and reinforcement learning to achieve automated portfolio management with intelligent risk management.

Overview

This project implements an autonomous trading system that combines deep learning techniques with reinforcement learning to make intelligent trading decisions in cryptocurrency markets. The system operates multiple specialized agents that work together to optimize portfolio performance while managing risk.

Key Features

• Multi-Agent Architecture: Specialized agents for different aspects of trading (analysis, execution, risk management)
• LSTM-Based Prediction: Deep learning models for price prediction and trend analysis
• Reinforcement Learning: Q-learning and policy gradient methods for strategy optimization
• Risk Management: Automated stop-loss, position sizing, and portfolio diversification
• Real-Time Processing: Live market data integration and real-time decision making
• Performance Analytics: Comprehensive tracking of trading performance and metrics

Technical Implementation

LSTM Network Architecture

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import LSTM, Dense, Dropout
 
# LSTM model for price prediction
model = Sequential([
    LSTM(50, return_sequences=True, input_shape=(sequence_length, features)),
    Dropout(0.2),
    LSTM(50, return_sequences=False),
    Dropout(0.2),
    Dense(25),
    Dense(1)
])

Reinforcement Learning Agent

class TradingAgent:
    def __init__(self, state_size, action_size):
        self.state_size = state_size
        self.action_size = action_size
        self.memory = deque(maxlen=2000)
        self.gamma = 0.95
        self.epsilon = 1.0
        self.epsilon_min = 0.01
        self.epsilon_decay = 0.995
        self.model = self._build_model()
    
    def _build_model(self):
        # Q-Network implementation
        model = Sequential([
            Dense(24, input_dim=self.state_size, activation='relu'),
            Dense(24, activation='relu'),
            Dense(self.action_size, activation='linear')
        ])
        model.compile(loss='mse', optimizer=Adam(lr=0.001))
        return model

Multi-Agent Coordination

• Analysis Agent: Processes market data and generates trading signals
