Create a 10-slide professional summary presentation titled 'Benchmarking PPO Against Classical HFT Strategies' with the subtitle 'Momentum, Mean Reversion, Market Making'. Include a group members slide with Leo, Wesley, Sophie, Georgy, and 6 others. Tone should be professional and visually clear, focusing on insights, results, and practical implications rather than equations. Structure: Title, Introduction, Classical HFT Strategies, PPO Overview, Experiment Design, Performance Comparison, Key Insights, Practical Implications, Challenges, and Conclusion.
Benchmarks PPO against momentum, mean reversion, and market making HFT strategies on crypto data. Highlights PPO's superior Sharpe, adaptability to regimes, non-linear insights, and practical edges de
This title slide is titled "Benchmarking PPO Against Classical HFT Strategies." The subtitle highlights the strategies compared: Momentum, Mean Reversion, and Market Making.
Momentum, Mean Reversion, Market Making
The slide titled "Team Members" lists the core team as Leo, Wesley, Sophie, and Georgy. It also names the supporting team—Alex, Maria, John, Emma, David, and Lisa—as part of a collaborative HFT research effort.
The agenda slide outlines four main sections: Background & Strategies (introduction, classical HFT strategies, and PPO overview), Experiments & Performance (design and strategy comparisons), Insights & Implications (key findings for HFT), and Challenges & Conclusion (open issues and final thoughts). This structure provides a clear roadmap for the presentation on HFT topics.

Classical HFT strategies include momentum (trend-following trades), mean reversion (bets on price corrections), and market making (profiting from bid-ask spreads). They prove effective in liquid markets but are highly sensitive to execution latency, transaction costs, and microstructure changes.
| Core Strategies | Strengths & Limitations |

PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) is a reinforcement learning algorithm designed for stable policy updates. It dynamically adapts to evolving market regimes, excels in complex non-stationary environments, and outperforms rule-based methods in HFT benchmarks.
The experiment was backtested on high-frequency crypto data (1s bars) and evaluated using Sharpe ratio, drawdown, and PnL. PPO was trained for 1 million episodes, classical strategies were optimized via parameters, and a fair risk-adjusted comparison was ensured.
The Performance Comparison slide highlights the PPO strategy's top metrics among all strategies. It boasts a highest Sharpe Ratio of 2.1, lowest max drawdown of -8%, and leading annual return of 45%.

Lowest drawdown recorded
Top annual performance
The Key Insights slide emphasizes capturing non-linear patterns missed by classical strategies while remaining robust to market regime shifts. It also delivers higher risk-adjusted returns in volatile markets and scales with more data and features.
The slide on Practical Implications recommends integrating PPO for adaptive HFT trading edges while reducing reliance on hand-tuned rules. It emphasizes enabling live deployment with low-latency infrastructure to boost profitability by 20-40%.
The slide outlines key challenges like high compute intensity, overfitting risks, and regulatory changes, while concluding that PPO leads HFT evolution with hybrid approaches next. It closes by noting PPO shapes tomorrow's trading, provides contact for the full study and collaboration, and thanks the audience.
