I. INTRODUCTION
Algorithmic buying and selling, typically referred to as
"alga buying and selling," is the usage of PC packages and
advanced algorithms to automate the method of buying and
selling in financial markets [1]. This technique has become
increasingly popular in recent years, in particular inside the
banking industry, because it allows for more green and
unique execution of trades, resulting in potentially higher
returns. With the speedy improvements in artificial
intelligence (AI), banks are actually capable of using
progressed AI algorithms for algorithmic trading, in addition
to enhancing their capacity to maximize returns [2]. One of
the fundamental blessings of the usage of algorithmic
trading within the banking enterprise is the potential to
decrease human errors and emotions. Conventional buying
and selling are based heavily on human decision-making,
which may be motivated by way of feelings and biases [3].
This will result in inconsistent and now and again irrational
selection-making, in the end resulting in suboptimal returns.
With algorithmic buying and selling, the choice-making
technique is primarily based on pre-described rules and
parameters, doing away with the ability for human blunders
and emotions [4]. This permits for a greater disciplined and
constant technique to buying and selling, in the end leading
to higher returns. Through leveraging these AI algorithms,
banks could make more informed and accurate trading
choices, resulting in better returns [5]. That is mainly
beneficial in state-of-the-art, rapid-paced, and precarious
financial markets, in which the ability to make quick and
unique trading selections is essential. Moreover, AI
algorithms can adapt and research from beyond information,
allowing them to enhance and optimize their buying and
selling techniques continuously [6]. which means that as the
AI algorithms collect more facts and learn from their overall
performance, they are able to alter their strategies, thus
maximizing returns [7]. This additionally permits banks to
stay ahead of market traits and quickly adapt to converting
conditions, giving them a competitive area in the
marketplace. Another gain of algorithmic buying and selling
in banking is its ability to lessen transaction fees [8]. This
reduces the general hazard publicity and helps protect the
bank's capital. Furthermore, with the real-time tracking and
evaluation furnished by means of AI algorithms, banks can
quickly discover and respond to any ability dangers within
the marketplace, similarly minimizing the probabilities of
significant losses [9]. However, there are a few worries
surrounding using algorithmic buying and selling inside the
banking enterprise. One of the principal issues is the
capacity for marketplace manipulation. The use of superior
AI algorithms can supply banks a bonus over character
traders, raising questions on fairness and marketplace
integrity [10]. To cope with this difficulty, regulatory bodies
have applied stricter recommendations and monitoring
measures to prevent any ability marketplace manipulation
by using banks. similarly, the use of algorithms in buying
and selling can also lead to unexpected marketplace
reactions and crashes. This became evident in the 2010
"Flash Crash" when automated trading caused a sudden and
extreme drop within the inventory marketplace. To save
such events from occurring once more, banks must
constantly screen their algorithms and be prepared to intrude
if important. In conclusion, algorithmic trading with
advanced AI algorithms can significantly boost returns for
banks by minimizing human blunders, maximizing statistics
evaluation, lowering transaction prices, and enhancing risk
control. However, banks need to ensure that these
algorithms are ethically and responsibly used to keep market
integrity and balance. As the technology continues to
develop, we expect to see even greater state-of-the-art
algorithmic trading strategies being followed by way of
banks, further improving their ability to maximize returns
inside the financial markets. The main contribution of the
paper has the following.
Multiplied efficiency: By using stepped-forward AI
algorithms, algorithmic buying and selling can
extensively increase efficiency in the banking area.
The algorithms can quickly examine large
quantities of information and execute trades,
reducing the time and effort required by human
buyers.
Risk management: Superior algorithms in
algorithmic trading allow for better risk
management. They can display marketplace
tendencies and capacity dangers in real-time,
making it less complicated to avoid losses and
maximize profits.
Multiplied earnings: The ultimate purpose of any
buying and selling hobby is to generate profits, and
algorithmic trading can help banks achieve this by
maximizing their returns. With progressed AI
algorithms, banks can identify and make the most
worthwhile buying and selling opportunities much
quicker and more correctly than conventional
techniques.
Reduced human error: Algorithmic trading
minimizes the chance of human blunders, which
are a common problem in manual buying and
selling. With advanced AI algorithms executing
trades, the possibilities of errors or emotional
decisions made by human investors are extensively
reduced.
II. RELATED WORKS
Algorithmic buying and selling, additionally known as
automated trading or alga buying and selling, is a procedure
of the usage of laptop packages and algorithms to execute
trades in monetary markets robotically [11]. This system has
grown to be increasingly famous in the banking industry
because it gives diverse advantages, which include extended
performance, reduced guide errors, and quicker execution of
trades [12]. However, there are worries about maximizing
returns with algorithmic buying and selling inside the
banking region because of the inherent problems and
problems related to it. One of the principal problems with
algorithmic buying and selling in the banking quarter is the
capacity for economic market instability [13]. Computerized
buying and selling structures rely upon mathematical
fashions and algorithms to make buying and selling choices,
and these models can, from time to time, fail to expect
marketplace moves appropriately [14]. This can cause steep
price fluctuations and even market crashes, as visible in the
2010 "Flash Crash," in which the Dow Jones commercial
average dropped nine in a matter of minutes due to
algorithmic buying and selling. In such eventualities, losses
incurred with the aid of banks and other monetary
establishments may have a full-size effect on the general
economy [15]. Another issue is the danger of algorithmic
trading being used for marketplace manipulation. As
algorithms may be programmed to execute trades
mechanically primarily based on diverse market conditions,
there's an opportunity that a few individuals or institutions
can use these algorithms to create artificial fee movements
[16]. This can result in unethical practices along with front-
strolling, where a dealer takes advantage of information
acquired from an algorithm before it is accomplished inside
the market, in the long run harming different traders and
investors [17]. The use of algorithmic trading additionally
raises worries approximately task displacement in the
banking quarter. As more excellent banks adopt
computerized trading techniques, there is a worry that an
extensive variety of jobs in conventional funding roles may
also become obsolete [18]. The usage of algorithms to make
trading decisions can significantly reduce the want for
human buyers and analysts, central to capability process
losses and a shift in the ability sets required inside the
banking industry. Moreover, the development and
implementation of algorithmic buying and selling strategies
require advanced computing and technical expertise, leading
to improved charges for banks [19]. Those charges include
hiring skilled programmers and analysts, acquiring
excessive-speed PCPC structures, and investing in state-of-
the-art software programs. Such high charges may not be
possible for smaller monetary establishments leading to a
capability concentration of power among large banks,
further widening the gap between vast and small gamers
inside the industry [20]. Another problem is the need for
more transparency and accountability in algorithmic trading.
As trades are carried out automatically primarily based on
algorithms, it will become challenging to understand the
choice-making manner in the back of those trades. This loss
of transparency may be tricky in instances of sudden market
occasions, where it may be hard to identify the underlying
causes of unexpected marketplace moves. To address those
troubles and issues, there may be a growing need for
improved AI algorithms in algorithmic buying and selling.
Those algorithms can constantly examine and adapt to
changing market situations, making extra accurate
predictions and reducing the hazard of market instability.
Additionally, regulators and governments are also imposing
stricter tips and guidelines for algorithmic trading to ensure
transparency and accountability. The novelty of using a
progressed AI algorithm for algorithmic buying and selling
in the banking enterprise lies in its capacity to maximize
returns. By incorporating a superior AI algorithm, the
algorithm can examine large amounts of data and make
sensible, data-driven selections in real-time. This allows for
more correct and green trading strategies that can adapt to
marketplace modifications and optimize returns. Moreover,
using AI can lessen human mistakes and biases, which
is central to more consistent and profitable buying and
selling.

With the development of artificial intelligence, there have been many attempts to incorporate artificial intelligence into algorithmic trading. In particular, reinforcement learning, which aims to solve dynamic decision-making problems, is attracting attention because of its high utilization in algorithmic trading. In this paper, we will implement a simple Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) trading robot to check the performance of DRL. In addition, we tried to find out how much performance improvement can be achieved by comparing a robot that learned a single stock data with a robot that learned stock data, market index, and interest rate data. This paper aims to develop a stock investment robot using a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) reinforcement learning algorithm and analyze the performance of the robot. The first robot used only the stock data of APPL INC, a single stock, as input, and the second robot used stock data of APPL INC and the S&P 500 index together with US interest rate data as input data. Afterward, the stock investment performance of the two robots for APPL INC was comparatively analyzed using the test data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches have been increasingly used in financial markets as technology advances. In this research paper, we conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that studies financial trading approaches through AI techniques. It reviews 143 research articles that implemented AI techniques in financial trading markets. Accordingly, it presents several findings and observations after reviewing the papers from the following perspectives: the financial trading market and the asset type, the trading analysis type considered along with the AI technique, and the AI techniques utilized in the trading market, the estimation and performance metrics of the proposed models. The selected research articles were published between 2015 and 2023, and this review addresses four RQs. After analyzing the selected research articles, we observed 8 financial markets used in building predictive models. Moreover, we found that technical analysis is more adopted compared to fundamental analysis. Furthermore, 16% of the selected research articles entirely automate the trading process. In addition, we identified 40 different AI techniques that are used as standalone and hybrid models. Among these techniques, deep learning techniques are the most frequently used in financial trading markets. Building prediction models for financial markets using AI is a promising field of research, and academics have already deployed several machine learning models. As a result of this evaluation, we provide recommendations and guidance to researchers.

High-frequency trading (HFT) is using computer algorithms to make trading decisions in short time scales (e.g., second-level), which is widely used in the Cryptocurrency (Crypto) market, (e.g., Bitcoin). Reinforcement learning (RL) in financial research has shown stellar performance on many quantitative trading tasks. However, most methods focus on low-frequency trading, e.g., day-level, which cannot be directly applied to HFT because of two challenges. First, RL for HFT involves dealing with extremely long trajectories (e.g., 2.4 million steps per month), which is hard to optimize and evaluate. Second, the dramatic price fluctuations and market trend changes of Crypto make existing algorithms fail to maintain satisfactory performances. To tackle these challenges, we propose an Efficient hieArchical Reinforcement learNing method for High Frequency Trading (EarnHFT), a novel three-stage hierarchical RL framework for HFT. In stage I, we compute a Q-teacher, i.e., the optimal action value based on dynamic programming, for enhancing the performance and training efficiency of second level RL agents. In stage II, we construct a pool of diverse RL agents for different market trends, distinguished by return rates, where hundreds of RL agents are trained with different preferences of return rates and only a tiny fraction of them will be selected into the pool based on their profitability. In stage III, we train a minute-level router which dynamically picks a second-level agent from the pool to achieve stable performance across different markets. Through extensive experiments in various market trends on Crypto markets in a high-fidelity simulation trading environment, we demonstrate that EarnHFT significantly outperforms 6 state-of-art baselines in 6 popular financial criteria, exceeding the runner-up by 30% in profitability.
