Covers applying Deep Q-Learning to finance with runnable notebooks (TensorFlow originals plus PyTorch notebooks and Google Colab links), trading and hedging examples using ~10 years of end‑of‑day data (≈252 days/year), a plain‑vanilla DQN (memory 200, batch 32, small gamma, epsilon decay) that reaches ~52.5% directional accuracy on a demo, and a simple GAN (two hidden layers generator/discriminator) that produces 25 synthetic series passing KS tests (p>0.05) used to augment training; code and reproducibility notes are provided.
