Abstract

This paper surveys the application of reinforcement learning (RL) in stock price prediction, highlighting its potential and limitations. We explore how RL can be used to optimize trading strategies, manage investment risks, find arbitrage opportunities, and predict trends. The review classifies research objects and methods based on data frequency (high/non-high) and target (forecast/trading strategy). We analyze various asset classes (stocks, forex, etc.) and models (RL, neural networks, LSTMs) employed in previous works. Key findings suggest that RL offers advantages over traditional models by adapting to complex market dynamics, and that incorporating sentiment analysis can further enhance its effectiveness. We identify promising avenues for future research, including hybrid models, deeper sentiment integration, and improved risk management. Overall, the paper concludes that RL holds significant promise for transforming financial forecasting, leading to more accurate and adaptable decision-making tools.
