Integrating Fuzzy Logic with Deep Reinforcement Learning to Enhance Financial Portfolio Management

Portfolio management is a challenging task due to the uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, making precise asset allocation and return maximization difficult. This paper presents a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach enhanced with fuzzy trend indicators to improve portfolio decision-making. The model was developed using a DRL framework, where a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based policy network learns to optimize asset allocations through interactions with the market. Fuzzy trend indicators are incorporated as additional input features, enabling the model to better capture market uncertainties and ambiguous trends. By providing a more flexible representation of market conditions, fuzzy trend indicators allow the model to dynamically adjust portfolio allocations in response to changing trends, leading to more precise asset allocation decisions and enhanced portfolio performance. The proposed model was trained and evaluated on historical stock data from the Brazilian stock market, covering the period from ۲۰۱۱ to ۲۰۲۰. The dataset includes daily high, low, and closing prices, ensuring a strong foundation for model training and validation. Experimental results show that the fuzzy-enhanced model outperforms some state-of-the-art strategies in terms of both returns and adaptability to volatile market conditions.
