Maintaining the correct order in data sequences becomes complex when inserting, deleting, or rearranging elements using traditional numbering systems. Common solutions like shifting sequence numbers or using real numbers have significant downsides, such as performance bottlenecks and limited precision. An effective alternative is leveraging a string-based ordering system that uses lexicographic sequences to assign order without recalculating existing elements. By treating sequences as "words"...

Frontend applications traditionally require separate builds for each environment (development, staging, production) because environment variables are embedded at build time, leading to increased release times. I propose a solution to build the frontend application once and inject environment-specific variables during deployment by using placeholders and a script to replace them with actual values at deploy time. This method streamlines the release process, reduces build...

This section outlines the training procedures for a DRL agent designed for hedging American put options, detailing the generation of asset price data through both GBM and stochastic volatility models. It emphasizes the use of Chebyshev interpolation for efficient option pricing, avoiding the complexity of simulation-based methods. The training process is divided into two experimental rounds to optimize the agent's performance.

This section details the methodology for creating a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent to hedge American put options, focusing on the design of the DDPG agent, the state and action space formulation, and the training and testing procedures.
