Phase 1 — Infrastructure:
- RiskMgmt_RISK_PER_TRADE 0.5% → 1.5% (vbt_backtest.py)
- min_monthly_return_pct=15% acceptance filter (strategy_orchestrator)
- --min-monthly-return 15 CLI option (nexquant.py)
- {{ min_monthly_return }}% in strategy prompts
- MIN_MONTHLY_RETURN_PCT=15.0 in gen_strategies_real_bt + smart_strategy_gen
- realistic_backtest_all.py target_monthly 4→15%
Phase 2 — Factor quality:
- IC thresholds: prompt 0.05→0.08, bandit IC weight 0.10→0.20
- Explicite IC > 0.04 target in RAG prompt
- min_ic filters: data_loader 0.0→0.04, strategy_worker 0.02→0.04, ml_trainer 0.01→0.04
Architecture fix — Daily signal resampling:
- Factors have IC at daily resolution, but z-scores on 1-min collapse IC to ~0
- Resample factors to daily before strategy exec, ffill signal to 1-min for backtest
- Walk-forward IS years 3→1 (only 2 years of data available)
- Removed broken intersection() logic that destroyed 99.99% of 1-min data
- ffill stale propagation limited to 2880 bars (2 trading days)
- Fixed logger crash in _load_strategies
- Preflight: removed constant-signal check (false positive on random sandbox data)
- Tests: test_daily_signal_resampling.py (8 tests)
Non-negotiable rules: R1-R10 in AGENTS.md
- strategy_orchestrator.py: remove unreachable dead 'if not factor_values' after early return
- strategy_orchestrator.py: eliminate duplicate OHLVC load in evaluate_strategy
- env.py: escape single-quotes in Docker entry to prevent shell injection (CWE-78)
- env.py: replace mutable default args with None pattern in DockerEnv subclasses
- factor_runner.py: move pandarallel.initialize() from import-time to lazy init
- quant.py: guard against empty orch_factors, move strategy_name before try block
- quant_proposal.py: fix __init__ return type Tuple[dict,bool] -> None
- strategy_orchestrator.py: remove dead rdagent_logger import shadowed by getLogger
- factor.py: replace unusual 'not x is None' with idiomatic 'x is not None'
- workflow/loop.py: withdraw_loop(0) raises RuntimeError instead of looking for folder -1
- workflow/tracking.py: replace crash-prone AssertionError with logger.warning + skip
- factor_from_report.py: fix misleading comment about loop_n/step_n dual use
- Path injection (B614): centralized safe_resolve_path in core/utils.py,
refactored 6 UI modules to use it with safe_root validation
- B701: added explicit autoescape=select_autoescape() to Jinja2
Environment() calls in 3 files
- B101: replaced assert statements with proper if/raise patterns in
12+ files (partial)
- B112: added logger.warning() to bare except:continue blocks in
5 files
B608: Bandit flags any f-string containing "select" as potential SQL
injection. All four cases (app.py, ds_trace.py, llm_st.py, merge.py)
are Streamlit UI labels or log messages — not database queries.
B701: Jinja2 autoescape=False warnings in coder.py and utils.py are
false positives — these render Python code and plain-text templates,
not HTML. Enabling autoescape would corrupt the rendered code.

- _fix_reset_index_groupby: replace groupby(level=N) on reset_index'd variables
with groupby('instrument') — fixes ValueError: level > 0 only valid with MultiIndex
- _fix_groupby_mixed_levels: strip string level names from groupby(level=[int, 'str'])
to fix AssertionError: Level 'date' not in index
- _fix_groupby_column_on_multiindex: convert groupby(['instrument','date']) on
MultiIndex DataFrames to groupby(level=1) — fixes KeyError on column access
- _fix_rolling_ddof: remove unsupported ddof kwarg from rolling().std()/var()
- fix(proposal): apply history compression to factor_proposal.py (was causing
131k-token prompts from QlibFactorHypothesis2Experiment; pycache had stale .pyc)

- Summarize all but the 2 most recent experiments to compact bullet lines
(factor name, PASS/FAIL, IC value, 120-char observation snippet) instead
of including full verbatim traces; reduces prompt from ~121k to ~40-60k tokens
- Fix _evaluate_factor_directly and _save_factor_values to look for result.h5
and factor.py in sub_workspace_list instead of experiment_workspace
- Fix Series.to_parquet() → Series.to_frame().to_parquet() in _save_factor_values
- Update factor_data_template README: correct bars-per-day (1440, not 96)
- Update prompts to accept 2024-only debug dataset output as valid factor result
- Fix factor_coder prompts: allow 2024 debug data in date-range instruction

- Rule 7 extended: session-based aggregations (London/NY/Asian) must also
be shifted by 1 trading day before use — same as daily aggregations
- Rule 8 added: prefer pure intraday rolling factors (RSI, Bollinger, VWAP
deviation, rolling std) that have no look-ahead risk and vary every minute
- predix_full_eval.py: apply _shift_daily_constant_factor_if_needed before IC
- predix_gen_strategies_real_bt.py: improved swing prompt with daily-level
signal logic guidance for daily-constant factors
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Daily factors (e.g. daily_log_return) carried same-day close data at 00:00,
giving the model end-of-day information at bar open — a classic look-ahead bias
that produced spurious IC=0.25 and Sharpe=24 with 98% win rate.
Changes:
- factor_runner.py: add _shift_daily_constant_factor_if_needed() that detects
factors where >90% of days have a single unique intraday value, then shifts
them by 1 trading day before IC computation
- prompts.yaml: add rule #7 instructing LLM to always shift(1) daily aggregates
before forward-filling to minute bars

- Add vbt_backtest.py as single source of truth for all metric formulas
(Sharpe, drawdown, IC, transaction costs) — backtest_engine.py and
strategy_orchestrator.py now delegate to it
- Add LLMUnavailableError to exception.py; rd_loop.py catches it at the
proposal stage and raises LoopResumeError to avoid corrupting trace
history with None hypotheses
- Guard record() against None exp/hypothesis so loop resets leave
trace.hist in a consistent state
- Refactor strategy_orchestrator and optuna_optimizer to use unified
backtest path; remove duplicate metric calculation code
- Add predix_rebacktest_unified.py script for offline re-evaluation
- Update tests and README

- Add explicit warning against .date on datetime index (causes data loss
to single year, only 314 entries instead of 2020-2026)
- Add explicit warning against df.merge() which destroys MultiIndex
(causes RangeIndex output instead of required MultiIndex)
- Enforce column name must be exactly factor_name, not a shortened alias
- Require transform() over apply() for per-group calculations to
preserve row count
- Add MultiIndex assertion before saving to result.h5
- Document expected output: ~1500+ daily entries for full 2020-2026 range
Problem:
- Many parallel runs crashed with: AttributeError: 'QuantTrace' object has no attribute 'controller'
- controller was only initialized in increment_factor_count(), not in __init__
- Code in quant_proposal.py line 66-67 accesses trace.controller before increment_factor_count() is called
Fix:
- Move self.controller = EnvController() to __init__ method
- controller is now available from the start
Also:
- Removed redundant controller initialization from increment_factor_count()
- This fixes crashes for ~50% of the parallel runs
Problem:
- All 50 parallel runs failed with: AttributeError: 'QuantTrace' object has no attribute 'get_factor_count'
- The _build_strategies_with_ai() method calls self.trace.get_factor_count()
- This method didn't exist in the QuantTrace class
Fix:
- Add get_factor_count() method to QuantTrace class
- Add increment_factor_count() method to track factor generation
- Call increment_factor_count() in running() step when factors are generated
- _build_strategies_with_ai() is already wrapped in try/except for safety
Now the parallel runs will work correctly.
- Modify factor_runner.py to save factor_code and factor_description
- Add _extract_factor_info() method to extract code from experiment
- Update _save_factor_json() to include code and description
- Now every backtest automatically saves to results/factors/ with:
* Full factor implementation code
* Extracted description (docstring or comments)
* IC, Sharpe, Win Rate, Max Drawdown metrics
This means the normal trading loop (rdagent fin_quant) now automatically
saves complete factor information to results/factors/ - same format as
predix_full_eval.py.
- Fix NameError: name 'os' is not defined
- This caused all 23 parallel runs to fail
- _ensure_results_dirs() uses os functions but import was missing
Tests should still pass
- Add predix_parallel.py: Run multiple factor experiments concurrently
* python predix_parallel.py --runs 5 --api-keys 2 -m openrouter
* Round-robin API key distribution across available keys
* Rich live dashboard with per-run status, elapsed time, exit codes
* Graceful shutdown (Ctrl+C kills all children cleanly)
- Add --run-id parameter to predix.py for isolated single runs
* Separate log files: fin_quant_run{N}.log
* Separate results: results/runs/run{N}/
* Separate workspace: RD-Agent_workspace_run{N}/
* Separate databases per run
- Modify CoSTEER and FactorRunner for PARALLEL_RUN_ID isolation
* _save_intermediate_results uses run-specific directories
* _save_result_to_database and _write_run_log isolated per run
* _ensure_results_dirs creates run-specific paths
- Reduce max_loop from 10 to 3 for faster iterations
- Add docs/parallel_runs.md with full documentation
Tests: 103 passed
- Fix daily/1min contradiction in factor_experiment_loader prompts
- Rename daily_pv.h5 to intraday_pv.h5 (generate.py, utils.py, README)
- Fix FactorDatetimeDailyEvaluator to accept 1min bars as correct
- Add _write_run_log() to log every factor attempt to results/logs/
- Add _ensure_results_dirs() to create all result directories
- Extract all 44 prompt YAML files to prompts/ centralized directory
- Add prompts/INDEX.md for navigation
Tests: 93 passed
- Remove duplicate DB save from quant.py (keep only in factor_runner)
- Add explicit DB path creation with mkdir -p
- Add JSON factor summaries to results/factors/
- Add debug logging for result structure
- Fix logger.debug -> logger.info (RDAgentLog compatibility)
- Update tests to match new architecture (240/240 passing)
- Enhance extract_results.py with progress indicators
- Removed 'Inspiriert von' comments from all source files
- Added comprehensive Acknowledgments section to README.md
- Credits to:
* Microsoft RD-Agent (MIT) - R&D framework foundation
* TradingAgents (Apache 2.0) - Multi-agent patterns
* ai-hedge-fund - Macro analysis and risk management concepts
- Clarified that all code is originally written and implemented independently
- Ensures license compliance (MIT, Apache 2.0 compatible)
