## Overview

FinRL has three layers: market environments, agents, and applications.  For a trading task (on the top), an agent (in the middle) interacts with a market environment (at the bottom), making sequential decisions.

A quick start: Stock_NeurIPS2018.ipynb. Videos [FinRL](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSGJjtM-5jA) at [AI4Finance Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrVri6k3KPBa3NhapVV4K5g).


## File Structure

The main folder **finrl** has three subfolders **applications, agents, meta**. We employ a **train-test-trade** pipeline with three files: train.py, test.py, and trade.py.
