Oct 2026Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Portfolio Management on the Indonesia Stock Exchange: A Microstructure-Aware Ablation Study
A multi-agent reinforcement learning system for portfolio management on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, trained and evaluated inside a market simulator that models real IDX trading rules. Developed from my undergraduate thesis.
- Universe of 53 Indonesian stocks on 5-minute data.
- Five SAC agents blended through a PPO meta-controller.
- Simulator of IDX microstructure: ARA/ARB price limits, asymmetric transaction costs, and lot sizes.
- Ablations showed the gains come from policy diversification rather than learned regime adaptation.
- +7.23%
- Return over 11 walk-forward windows, vs LQ45 at −12.89%
- −19.11%
- Loss on a bear-market holdout, vs LQ45 at −23.22%
