The article “A Multi-Agent DDQN Strategic Audit Engine for Silver Markets using Keras\/TensorFlow” was originally published on DataGeeek<\/a> blog.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Introduction & Theoretical Framework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In modern electronic trading markets, algorithmic execution engines drive the vast majority of institutional order flows. Evaluating whether these independent, learning-driven trading algorithms behave competitively or tacitly coordinate has become a critical challenge for quantitative compliance, market microstructure design, and risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technical article implements an automated Strategic Audit Engine<\/strong> designed to evaluate algorithmic execution regimes in the Silver futures market (SI=F<\/code>). Our framework is explicitly built upon the empirical and theoretical foundations laid out by Koulouris & Campajola (2026)<\/strong> in their groundbreaking paper, \u201cMemory-Induced Supra-Competitive Outcomes Between Deep Reinforcement Learning Agents in Optimal Trade Execution\u201d<\/em> (arXiv:2605.20348v1, May 2026<\/em><\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Core Thesis: Supra-Competitive Outcomes via Memory Paths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditional regulatory frameworks look for explicit collusion<\/em> (active communication or cartel setups). However, Koulouris & Campajola demonstrate a far more subtle phenomenon: when independent Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents are equipped with memory\u2014meaning they learn from rolling windows of historical price trajectories\u2014they naturally converge toward supra-competitive outcomes<\/strong>. These are states where joint rewards remain artificially high, or execution parameters naturally align to mimic cooperation, without any explicit information exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To audit this behavior empirically, our engine models a symmetric duopoly market interaction. It maps the actual market execution path against two fundamental game-theoretic baselines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The Cooperative Boundary (TWAP \/ Pareto Frontier):<\/strong> An idealized, optimal trade execution path where volume is distributed evenly across time to minimize joint market impact and maximize long-term mutual utility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Competitive Boundary (Nash Equilibrium):<\/strong> The aggressive, non-cooperative state where individual agents structurally undercut each other, driving execution shortfall parameters<\/strong> to their maximum baseline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    2. Technical Stack & Environmental Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To build a production-grade, reproducible multi-agent simulation pipeline, we leverage a hybrid data-science and deep-learning toolkit within the R ecosystem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • tidyquant <\/strong>& tidyverse<\/strong>: Serve as our core data engineering layer, managing financial API queries, formatting continuous return matrices, and handling functional list columns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • keras <\/strong>& tensorflow<\/strong>: Form the algorithmic backbone, allowing us to build, train, and run simultaneous forward\/backward passes on Deep Q-Networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • ggtext <\/strong>& glue<\/strong>: Empower our visualization suite to parse inline HTML canvas rendering and handle dynamic string interpolations smoothly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      # 1. ENVIRONMENT SETUP\nif (!require(\"pacman\")) install.packages(\"pacman\")\npacman::p_load(tidyquant, tidyverse, ggtext, glue, keras, tensorflow)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      3. Building the Double Deep Q-Network Topology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Following the paper\u2019s thesis on symmetric duopoly interactions, we construct two structurally identical execution agents: agent_A<\/code> and agent_B<\/code>. Both utilize a Dense Neural Network (Multilayer Perceptron) architecture to approximate the action-value space, denoted as Q(s, a)<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The state space contains 3 features: Price Deviation<\/strong>, Asset Volatility (sigma)<\/strong>, and Relative Time Horizon<\/strong>. The output layer projects to 3 discrete strategic action coordinates via a linear activation function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      # 2. SYMMETRIC AGENT ARCHITECTURE\nbuild_strategic_agent <- function(state_size = 3, action_size = 3) {\n  model <- keras_model_sequential() %>%\n    layer_dense(units = 32, activation = \"relu\", input_shape = c(state_size)) %>%\n    layer_dense(units = 32, activation = \"relu\") %>%\n    layer_dense(units = action_size, activation = \"linear\")\n   \n  model %>% compile(\n    optimizer = optimizer_adam(learning_rate = 0.001),\n    loss = \"mse\"\n  )\n  return(model)\n}\n \n# Initialize the competing agents\nagent_A <- build_strategic_agent()\nagent_B <- build_strategic_agent()<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      4. Parameterization & Historical Replay Buffer Ingestion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      To anchor our agents in empirical reality, we pull 2 years of continuous daily settlement prices for Silver futures (SI=F<\/code>). We define our microstructural bounds\u2014such as the risk aversion parameter (gamma) and the permanent market impact vector (eta)\u2014alongside a fixed strategic execution memory window (T = 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      # 3. STRATEGIC PARAMETERS\nT_horizon <- 10      # Strategic episode length (Memory window)\ngamma_param <- 0.0001 # Risk aversion\neta_param <- 0.0005   # Market impact\n \n# 4. HISTORICAL REPLAY DATA (2-Year Training Set)\nsilver_full <- tq_get(\"SI=F\", from = Sys.Date() - 730) %>%\n  filter(!is.na(close)) %>%\n  mutate(returns = close \/ lag(close) - 1) %>%\n  drop_na()\n \n# Recent window for the final audit visualization\nsilver_recent <- tail(silver_full, T_horizon)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      5. Dynamic Volatility Corridors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Rather than mapping market behavior against static thresholds, the audit engine computes a volatility-adaptive safety corridor. The boundaries dynamically expand and contract based on the asset\u2019s realized standard deviation (sigma), isolating pure structural noise from intentional strategic maneuvers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      # 5. DYNAMIC SIGMA CORRIDORS\ncurrent_sigma <- sd(silver_recent$returns, na.rm = TRUE)\nif(is.na(current_sigma)) current_sigma <- 0.01 \n \nanalysis_data <- silver_recent %>%\n  mutate(\n    twap_slope = current_sigma * 1.5, \n    nash_slope = current_sigma * 4.0,\n    twap_path = first(close) * (1 - seq(0, first(twap_slope), length.out = n())),\n    nash_path = first(close) * (1 - seq(0, first(nash_slope), length.out = n())),\n    lower_safety_limit = nash_path * (1 - current_sigma)\n  )<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      6. The Joint Training Replay Engine & Payoff Matrix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      This section represents the computational implementation of Koulouris & Campajola\u2019s memory hypothesis. The two agents recursively traverse 2 years of rolling historical windows (window_data<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      At each node, they sample independent actions based on their weights, facing a non-cooperative game matrix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Mutual Cooperation (Action 0, 0):<\/strong> High joint payout (+10) mimicking a stable, supra-competitive margin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mutual Aggressive Competition (Action Match):<\/strong> Low joint rent (+1), representing the competitive Nash baseline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cheating \/ Under-cutting:<\/strong> Asymmetric penalization (+5 vs -5).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        7. Post-Convergence Audit Inference & Regime Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        Once the networks stabilize, the engine takes the posture of an unbiased financial regulator. It extracts the neural policy configurations, evaluates the actual current execution window, and automatically determines the market regime using an automated classification layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        8. High-Fidelity Infographic Layer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        To generate a publication-quality static vector infographic, we map our theme directly via ggplot2<\/code> and ggtext<\/code>. By embedding the color palette directly into the HTML subtitle strings and forcing label formatting via scales::percent<\/code>, we create a clean, high-contrast dashboard visualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        9. Empirics & Compliance Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        When we run the complete inference loop on our terminal Silver execution window, the strategic narrative clarifies perfectly: Actual Execution<\/strong> (the blue trajectory) tracks downward, bypassing the cooperative upper envelope and adhering directly to the competitive boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        The audit badge cleanly returns a status of NORMAL: Competitive Nash Equilibrium<\/strong>, with the terminal metrics computing the exact execution shortfall at 1.59%<\/strong> as indicated in the chart above. While the agents are technically complex neural networks capable of learning memory patterns, the actual price action during this specific ten-day horizon reflects a highly competitive regime, keeping the execution within standard Nash boundaries rather than shifting into a supra-competitive zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        For quantitative auditors and systemic risk monitors, this approach signals a paradigm shift. Static threshold tests are blind to multi-agent learning trends. By deploying neural simulation baselines, structural compliance teams can automatically audit execution algorithms, isolating algorithmic alignment from pure market variance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
