  Reposition the README's opening paragraph to clarify current value

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Attempting to replicate "A Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for the Financial Portfolio Management Problem" by Jiang et. al. 2017 [1].
  
  **Note2 (20190525):** vermouth1992 improved this environment during their final project, I reccomend you start with their repo. Also check out the sagemaker tutorial which is based on vermouth1992's work.
  
  Note1 (2018): the paper's authors have put the official code for the paper up and it works well
  
  tl;dr I managed to get 8% growth on training data, but it disapeared on test data. So I couldn't replicate it. However, RL papers can be very difficult to replicate due to bugs, framework differences, and hyperparameter sensistivity

  This repository offers a robust OpenAI Gym environment for financial portfolio management, serving as a valuable foundation for deep reinforcement learning research in finance. While originally part of an attempt to replicate the Jiang et al. 2017 paper, and acknowledging the replication challenges, the environment itself is well-tested and useful for new experiments or understanding replication complexities. For successful replications or production-ready solutions, please refer to vermouth1992's repository or the official paper code.
