# FinRL-Trading

> Chapter 4 · GitHub facts 2026-10-22 · Web version: https://finance-agents.dev/projects/finrl-trading

## What it does

The README titles the project FinRL-X and describes it as modular infrastructure for quantitative trading that unifies data processing, strategy composition, backtesting, and broker execution through a weight-centric interface. It links a paper at `arxiv.org/abs/2603.21330`. `requirements.txt` includes `torch`, `lightgbm`, `xgboost`, `yfinance`, `alpaca-py`, `openai`, and `streamlit`. This list files it as that FinRL-X stack.
