Robust Market Making with Hawkes Order Flow and Price Impact via Adversarial Reinforcement Learning

The paper proposes an adversarial reinforcement‑learning framework for market making that incorporates Hawkes‑process driven order arrivals and trade‑induced price impact, addressing limitations of prior Poisson‑based models. An LSTM module captures temporal dependencies in recent observations to handle increased non‑stationarity, and the authors analyze equilibrium properties and introduce a robustness evaluation protocol focused on the left tail of returns. Experiments across diverse market regimes demonstrate that the method improves left‑tail performance, especially under strong Hawkes excitation and moderate price impact, without relying on a terminal inventory bias.

Reinforcement Learning for Execution under Dynamic Fees in a Closed-Loop DEX Simulator

arXiv:2607. 10960v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Trader-facing dynamic fees are increasingly proposed for automated market makers (AMMs), but historical data do not identify how order flow would respond: trader-facing fees do not vary, trader types are latent, and a replayed tape is not a sequential decision environment.

TT-DAC-PS: Twin-Target Deterministic Actor-Critic with Policy Smoothing for Optimal Trade Execution

arXiv:2606. 08379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study addresses the optimal execution of large stock sell programs by introducing TT-DAC-PS (Twin-Target Deterministic Actor-Critic with Policy Smoothing), a deterministic actor-critic architecture that combines twin exponential-moving-average critic targets with pessimistic min backup, TD3-style target policy smoothing noise, delayed actor updates, and conservative Q regularisation to curb overestimation.

GIFT: LLM-Guided State-Reward Interface for Financial Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 08450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial portfolio trading is naturally formulated as a reinforcement learning problem, where an agent sequentially rebalances assets under changing market conditions to balance return, risk, and transaction costs.
