Summary

In conclusion, machine learning can be applied to several industries and can be applied very efficiently in financial markets, as you saw in this chapter. We can combine different models, as we did with reinforcement learning and time series, to produce stronger models that suit our use cases. We discussed the use of reinforcement learning and time series to predict the stock market. We worked with an actor-critic model that determined the best action, based on the state of the stock prices, with the aim of maximizing profits. In the end, we obtained a result that boasted an overall profit and included increasing profits over time, indicating that the agent learned more with each state.

In the next chapter, you will learn about the future areas of work.
