What it is

FinRL wraps market environments as Gym-style tasks and provides DRL agents (PPO, A2C, SAC, TD3 and more) for trading and portfolio allocation. It predates the LLM wave and remains the standard starting point for RL-based trading research.

In the maintainers' words: “FinRL®: Financial Reinforcement Learning. 🔥”
