This paper combines a PPO reinforcement learning agent with transformer-based sentiment extraction from financial news and tests it on intraday NSE data. The reported gain is in risk-adjusted returns against price-only baselines. Readers should note that the evidence is limited to one market and a single accepted-but-unpublished venue, so the improvement needs replication across periods, markets, and transaction-cost assumptions before it means much.
Enhanced Trading Systems with Intelligent Market Analysis
arXiv:2610.13998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper proposes a hybrid reinforcement learning trading framework integrating intraday market data with transformer-based financial sentiment signals. The system extracts sentiment dynamics and semantic event clusters from financial news and incorporates them into a PPO-based trading agent. Experiments on intraday NSE data demonstrate improved risk-adjusted returns compared to price-only baselines.
