contents Motivated by optimal execution with stochastic signals, market impact and constraints in financial markets, and optimal storage management in commodity markets, we formulate and solve an optimal trading problem with a general propagator model under linear functional inequality constraints. The optimal control is given explicitly in terms of the corresponding Lagrange multipliers and their conditional expectations, as a solution to a linear stochastic Fredholm equation. We propose a stochastic version of the Uzawa algorithm on the dual problem to construct the stochastic Lagrange multipliers numerically via a stochastic projected gradient ascent, combined with a least-squares Monte Carlo regression step to approximate their conditional expectations. We illustrate our findings on two different practical applications with stochastic signals: (i) an optimal execution problem with an exponential or a power law decaying transient impact, with either a `no-shorting' constraint in the presence of a `sell' signal, a `no-buying' constraint in the presence of a `buy' signal or a stochastic `stop-trading' constraint whenever the exogenous price drops below a specified reference level; (ii) a battery storage problem with instantaneous operating costs, seasonal signals and fixed constraints on both the charging power and the load capacity of the battery.
