Jasmeet Gandhi | Kuljeet Gandhi "Reinforcement Learning – Enhanced GANs for Financial Forecasting" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Special Issue | Recent Advances in Computer Applications and Information Technology, March 2026, pp.760-764, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd101881.pdf

The financial markets are strongly nonlinear and volatile, driven by the dynamic economic factors that make forecasts to be non-trivial. Conventional statistical models like ARIMA and GARCH often do not capture the complex patterns in stock movement. The recent success of deep learning, especially Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Reinforcement Learning (RL), offer strong potentials to model financial time-series data. This work introduces a hybrid Reinforcement Learning-Enhanced GAN framework for financial prediction. GANs produce realistic artificial financial data, enhancing the diversity of the data and generalizing, while RL is learning based on rewards to optimize the trade strategies.[1] The combination improves the forecasting power, flexibility to market unpredictability and investment preference. Empirical analysis with the standard financial performance measures (i.e., RMSE, Sharpe Ratio, and cumulative return) shows that the proposed RL-GAN model outperforms conventional statistical and single deep- learning models. Financial prediction is still one of the most difficult problems in computational finance since asset prices behave stochastically, nonlinearly and highly volatile. Conventional statistical methodologies frequently lack to adjust for fast changes in market structures and extreme events.[2] In recent years, artificial intelligence techniques show advantageous performance to deal with complicated financial date patterns. In this study, a hybrid Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) model is developed for enhancing the prediction accuracy and trading strategy optimization. The proposed model utilizes GANs in generating synthetic, high-quality financial time-series data to mitigate problems associated with small training samples and enhance generalization during infrequent market regimes. We also integrate reinforcement learning to facilitate trading decisions that can adaptively switch among different trade agents by reward-optimized methods so as to achieve timely adjustment during market dynamics.[3] Contrary to traditional forecasting models, the RL-enriched GAN framework intertwines data augmentation and sequential decision awareness. Experimental results on stock market historical datasets show enhancements in predictability, total returns and risk-adjusted performance of the two models. This observation indicates that the combination of generative modelling with reinforcement learning is a robust and scalable methodology for intelligent financial forecasting systems. The findings constitute a novelty to the rapidly growing area of AI-driven quantitative finance and materialize in the form of demonstrating advantages and possibilities when hybrid DL architectures are applied to actual trading conditions.[4].
