Abstract

This study proposes a new scheme for implementing actual data into artificial market simulations at the level of trader agents. Because humans can introduce bias or overlook the important features of actual traders, we implemented the actual data and automated the strategy learning (imitating) of agents using machine learning (ML). We then ran artificial market simulations in the treader model, which imitates the actual trading behaviors in an ML architecture. Through this study, we demonstrate the potentials and limitations of the proposed scheme.
