Avoiding Zero-Trade Policies in RL with a Decoupled MLOps Architecture
A direct Stable-Baselines3 DQN trading USD/JPY 5-minute bars completed zero trades on the held-out period. We describe a decoupled architecture in which the RL model emits a directional score and a deterministic Python execution engine owns position management. On the same data and split, the decoupled system completed 2,625 fully risk-managed trades.
