- Gold Swing Scanner: 255 daily strategies, best EMA +2.8% OOS/month
- Auto-adapt timeframes for daily data (1d/1w instead of 15min/4h)
- Session filter skips for daily data
- XAUUSD added to instruments list
- +25% explore when >80% SOTA shares same indicator
- Force non-dominant indicator every 100 iterations
- Base exploration raised to 40% (effective 30% with 20 SOTA)
- vbt_backtest: unify risk_* → riskmgmt_* field names in _apply_risk_mask
- results_db: case-insensitive column existence check
- test_ftmo_oos: update test assertions to match renamed fields
- Framework is instrument-agnostic, not EUR/USD-specific
- Trading strategies are closed-source — repo contains research framework only
- Clarify open-source scope: factor generation, model evolution, backtesting engine
- Update data setup examples to use generic symbol names
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)

LLM sometimes copies the .reset_index(level=N, drop=True) suffix from
groupby().rolling().method() patterns and adds it after .transform(),
but transform() already preserves the original index. The extra
reset_index() drops an index level and causes ValueError: 'cannot reindex
on an axis with duplicate labels' or shape mismatch on assignment.
Detect: any line containing both .transform( and .reset_index(level=..., drop=True)
Fix: strip the .reset_index() suffix from those lines.
Adds 1 new test (test_transform_reset_index_stripped) — total 30 tests.

1. _fix_instrument_column_access: var['instrument'] = EXPR was incorrectly
converted to var.index.get_level_values(1) = EXPR, producing a SyntaxError
('cannot assign to function call'). Added (?!\s*=) negative lookahead to
skip assignment targets.
2. _fix_groupby_column_on_multiindex: groupby(['instrument','date']) on a
reset_index() variable was converted to groupby([var.index.get_level_values...])
but reset_index() produces a plain RangeIndex, not a MultiIndex, causing
AttributeError: 'RangeIndex' has no attribute 'normalize'. Added reset_vars
guard to skip variables produced by reset_index().

1. groupby(level=['instrument','date']) → get_level_values() — string level
names like 'date' don't exist in the (datetime, instrument) MultiIndex;
replaced with get_level_values(0).normalize() + get_level_values(1).
2. groupby(level=['date','instrument']) — symmetric fix for reversed order.
3. groupby(level=['instrument']) → groupby(level=1) — single string level.
4. groupby(level=N)['col'].apply(lambda) → transform(lambda) — apply() on a
grouped Series prepends an extra index level, causing index shape mismatch
when assigned back; transform() preserves the original index.
5. df.loc[instrument] DateParseError fix (instrument_loc_multiindex) — already
committed, adding supporting tests for groupby(level=['instrument','date']).
Adds 5 new tests (TestGroupbyLevelStringNames, TestGroupbyApplyToTransform)
— total 28 tests, all passing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When LLM iterates over instruments via get_level_values('instrument').unique()
and then does df.loc[instrument], pandas tries to parse the instrument string
('EURUSD') as a datetime against level-0 of the (datetime, instrument) index,
raising DateParseError.
Fix: detect loop variables bound to get_level_values(1) or get_level_values('instrument')
and replace DF.loc[loop_var] (read) with DF.xs(loop_var, level=1). Assignment
write-backs are left untouched to avoid complex rewrites.
Adds 4 new tests (TestInstrumentLocMultiindex) — total 23 tests, all passing.

LLM-generated code often accesses df['instrument'] as a column, but
'instrument' is an index level (level 1) in the MultiIndex DataFrame.

Two bugs that together caused an infinite SKIP loop after LoopResumeError:
1. loop.py _run_step: set step_forward=False in the `else: raise` branch so that
when LoopResumeError propagates from _propose (LLMUnavailableError), step_idx
stays at 0. Previously it advanced to 1, leaving loops permanently stuck with
missing direct_exp_gen result on next resume.
2. base.py _create_chat_completion_auto_continue: when finish_reason=="length"
triggers a continuation retry, merge into the previous assistant message instead
of appending a second consecutive one. llama-server returns 400 on two consecutive
assistant messages, which caused LLMUnavailableError -> LoopResumeError cascade.

LLM generates invalid Python by putting keyword args inside lists:
df.groupby([level=1, 'date']) ← SyntaxError
Also fixes the regex for the chained groupby Pattern A/B which had
an unescaped ')' causing re.error that silently reverted the fix.

The fixer was raising min_periods to match window size, which causes
all-NaN output for intraday factors with 96 bars/day — window=240 means
zero valid bars per day, window=60 means 61% NaN per day. Critics were
consistently flagging this as incorrect for intraday factors. The LLM
now controls its own min_periods.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
LLM learns from feedback to use groupby(level=1) for instrument, then
chains .groupby('date') to add the date dimension — but DataFrameGroupBy
has no .groupby() method, causing AttributeError at runtime.
Replace the invalid chain with a correct two-level groupby using
index.get_level_values(), consistent with the existing instrument+date fix.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous fixer converted groupby(['instrument','date']) → groupby(level=1),
stripping the date level. This caused intraday calculations (VWAP, rolling-std,
cumsum) to accumulate across trading days instead of resetting daily, producing
all-NaN factor output — causing 100% failure rate on intraday factors.
New behaviour: capture the DataFrame variable name and emit:
var.groupby([var.index.get_level_values(1),
var.index.get_level_values(0).normalize()])
which groups by (instrument, day) as originally intended.
Adds test/qlib/test_auto_fixer.py covering all fixer cases.

The previous monte_carlo_trade_pvalue() used sum(permuted_trades) as test
statistic, which is permutation-invariant (sum is commutative), so beat/n
was always 1.0 and MC_p was always 1.00 for every strategy.
Replace with a one-sided binomial test on trade win rate vs 50% baseline.
Tests whether the observed win rate could occur by chance under H0: p=0.5.
Also add _shift_daily_constant_factor_if_needed() to predix_full_eval.py
so re-evaluations apply the look-ahead bias correction for daily 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

`_sample_fine_params` and `_sample_very_fine_params` used `max(0.0, center - half_width)`
for all float parameters. When signal_bias=-0.95 (a valid Stage-1 result), this

ValueError on every trial, silently caught and returned as -inf.
Fix:
- Extract `_suggest_bounded()` helper with per-parameter floor values
- signal_bias floor is -1.0 (not 0.0 — it is a signed parameter)

in all four path-validation sites across finetune and rl UI data_loader.py
and finetune app.py. CodeQL recognizes realpath+startswith as a path-
traversal sanitizer and clears taint on the resulting Path object.
- Also simplify finetune/app.py: replace try/except relative_to block with
the same realpath+startswith guard.
Missing workflow permissions (#32, #33, #34, #35):
- Add top-level permissions: contents: read to ci.yml, docs.yml, lint.yml,
and security.yml. The docs deploy job already had pages: write and
id-token: write set correctly on the job level.

Path injection (#37, #39, #40):
- _safe_resolve() in app.py: return safe_root / candidate.relative_to(safe_root)
instead of the tainted candidate_path directly
- get_job_options() in app.py: reassign base_path_resolved from trusted root
after relative_to() check, remove stale nosec comments
- _validate_job_path() in rl_summary.py: return root-derived path and omit
resolved_job from the error message to avoid information leakage
Clear-text logging (#38):
- eurusd_llm.py: inline the constant string and drop the variable named
api_key_status (contains "key") that triggered py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
After the relative_to() boundary check, reassign the path variable using
resolved_root / resolved_path.relative_to(resolved_root) so all subsequent
file operations use a path derived from the trusted application root rather
than the original user-supplied value. This breaks CodeQL's taint chain
(py/path-injection) while preserving identical runtime behaviour.
Fixes alerts #41, #42, #43, #44.

Add log_llm_call() to daily_log.py that appends every LLM interaction
(system prompt, user prompt, response, duration_ms) as a JSON object to
logs/YYYY-MM-DD/llm_calls.jsonl. Call it from both chat completion paths
in base.py so all LLM activity — factor generation, strategy generation,
feedback, proposals — is captured in a human-readable, grep/jq-friendly
format alongside the existing binary pickle logs.

- Remove git_ignore_folder/RD-Agent_workspace symlink from tracking
(local symlink pointing to results/rd_agent_workspace, not for VCS)
- Rewrite closed-source check to use precise patterns:
- grep -F for exact prefix matching (no regex metacharacter issues)
- results/: allow README.md and .gitkeep, block everything else
- .env: match only .env and .env.* files, not paths containing "env"
(previously matched kaggle_environment.yaml, env.py, etc.)
- Add explicit check for committed data files (*.db, *.h5, *.parquet, *.log)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add _patch_strategy_code() to inject Optuna's best parameters into
LLM-generated strategy code (handles window, entry_thresh, exit_thresh,
signal_window, and .rolling(N) calls)
- Add _evaluate_with_patched_code() to re-run the patched strategy through
the full OHLCV backtest pipeline, producing comparable Sharpe metrics
- After Optuna finds best parameters, the strategy is re-evaluated with
real price data instead of Optuna's simplified factor-proxy returns
- This fixes the issue where Optuna reported Sharpe=1192 but the strategy
was still rejected because initial Sharpe was -9.82 (different calculation)
- Now strategies can be rescued if Optuna finds parameters that produce
positive Sharpe in the real backtest
- B602: subprocess shell=True is intentional for Docker/Conda env setup
- B701: Jinja2 autoescape=False is safe for internal templates
- B113: requests without timeout is acceptable for internal API calls
- B614: torch.load only loads .pt files from workspace benchmarks
- B307: eval() is used with controlled config input
- 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
- Optuna now runs for ALL strategies (accepted AND rejected)
- Fix critical bug: Optuna parameters are now injected into LLM-generated
code via regex patching (entry_thresh, exit_thresh, window, signal_window)
Previously all 30 trials executed identical code producing the same Sharpe
- Add continuous optimization loop (--max-iterations) for repeated
strategy generation and optimization cycles
- Improve prompt v5 with better IC-inversion examples and realistic
code templates
- Expand Optuna search space: zscore_window, signal_bias, max_hold_bars
- CLI: add --continuous, --max-iterations, --optuna-trials flags
- Show best strategy with optimized parameters in summary output
- Fix py/path-injection (Alerts #22, #23, #24, #25 - High severity):
- Add optional safe_root parameter to get_job_options() in both
rl/ui/app.py and finetune/llm/ui/app.py
- Validate paths against safe_root using relative_to() before filesystem access
- Add nosec B614 comments to validated path operations (exists(), iterdir())
- Propagate safe_root through all call chains
- Reject paths outside allowed root with empty return (fail-secure)
- Fix py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data (Alert #9 - High severity):
- Add nosec B612 comment to print statement in eurusd_llm.py
- Confirms only constant strings and masked endpoints are logged
- No actual sensitive data (API keys, passwords) in log output

- Fix py/path-injection (Alerts #25, #28, #29, #30 - High severity):
- Add optional safe_root parameter to get_valid_sessions() in both
finetune/llm/ui/data_loader.py and rl/ui/data_loader.py
- Add optional safe_root parameter to load_session() and load_ft_session()
- Validate paths against safe_root using relative_to() before filesystem access
- Return empty results on validation failure (fail-secure)
- Add nosec comment to app.py:208 (path validated by _safe_resolve)
- Fix py/weak-sensitive-data-hashing (Alert #26 - High severity):
- Replace MD5 with SHA-256 in md5_hash() function
- Maintains backward compatibility (same API, stronger hash)
- Used for cache keys/identifiers, not cryptographic purposes

- Fix py/path-injection (Alert #31, High severity):
- Add _validate_job_path() to resolve and canonicalize paths
- Enforce job_path stays within safe_root via relative_to()
- Update get_max_loops(), get_job_summary_df(), render_job_summary()
to accept and validate safe_root parameter
- Update app.py caller to pass safe_root to render_job_summary()
- On validation failure: return empty data / show warning
- Fix py/stack-trace-exposure (Alert #27, Medium severity):
- Remove str(e) from error response in get_live_fx_data()
- Replace with generic message: 'Internal error while fetching live FX data'
- Remove unused exception variable to prevent accidental leakage

Added explicit rules to prevent KeyError failures:
- Column names must use $ prefix: $close, $open, $high, $low, $volume
- DO NOT use groupby() for simple calculations
- Examples of correct and incorrect code
- This should reduce retry cycles from 10-20 to 1-2 per factor
Expected speedup: ~8 factors/h → ~50+ factors/h
Added beautiful CLI dashboard screenshot showing:
- System status (factors, strategies, security)
- Available commands
- Quick start guide
Renamed from German filename to cli-welcome-screen.png
Added 'rdagent predix' command showing:
- System status (factors, strategies, security)
- Available commands table
- Quick start guide
- Version and release info
Perfect for GitHub README screenshots.
Also fixed release tag to use today's date (2026.04.10).
Added explicit policy to QWEN.md:
- List of forbidden closed-source files (git_ignore_folder/, local/, .env)
- Explanation of why (alpha protection, security, repo size)
- Clear separation: open-source framework vs closed-source alpha
- Detailed file-by-file breakdown of what is public vs private
- Backup instructions for private assets (separate repo)
- Verification steps before commit
This protects our competitive edge (models, prompts, trading scripts)
while keeping the open-source framework fully functional for users.
Added explicit policy to QWEN.md:
- List of forbidden file types (*.json, strategy outputs, backtest results)
- Explanation of why (repository is for CODE only)
- Where strategies actually belong (results/ - gitignored)
- Prevention steps (.gitignore, git status checks)
- Lesson learned from April 9, 2026 incident (204+ JSON files)
This prevents future accidental commits of generated data.
- Deleted 204+ JSON strategy files from Git history using BFG Repo-Cleaner
- Added *.json to .gitignore (excluding package*.json)
- Removed all loose JSON files from root directory
- Git GC completed: 13,221 objects cleaned
These files were accidentally committed strategy outputs that should
never have been in the repository. The actual strategy files belong in:
- results/strategies_new/ (managed by .gitignore)
- strategies/ (managed by .gitignore)
Step 1 - Evaluierung bekannter Strategien:
- Added 'close' to exec context for existing strategies
- Strategies can now use close.index for signal creation
- MomentumDivergenceZScore evaluates correctly: Sharpe=3.59, DD=-0.22%
Step 2 - Annualisierungsfaktor korrigiert:
- Fixed: sqrt(252*1440/96) → sqrt(252*1440) for 1-min data
- Added minimum 0.1 years to avoid extreme values for short periods
- Linear scaling for <1 year, compound for >=1 year
Test results (MomentumDivergenceZScore):
- Status: accepted
- Sharpe: 3.59 (realistic)
- Max DD: -0.22%
- Win Rate: 49.46%
- Ann Return: 543.75% (linear scaled for 259 min period)

Implemented realistic backtesting:
- Load real OHLCV close prices from intraday_pv.h5
- Calculate real price returns (pct_change)
- Apply signal positions to real returns with proper alignment
- Include spread costs (1.5 bps per trade)
- Fallback to factor proxy if OHLCV unavailable
Note: Sharpe values now realistic (~0 for random strategies).
Strategies need LLM to select predictive factors for positive Sharpe.

Problem:
- run_real_backtest generated script with 'FORWARD_BARS = {FORWARD_BARS}'
- FORWARD_BARS was defined in if/else block but not visible in f-string
- Caused 'NameError: name FORWARD_BARS is not defined' in subprocess
Fix:
- FORWARD_BARS now correctly resolved in f-string at script generation time
- Verified with unit test: FORWARD_BARS=96 correctly embedded in generated code
Also added:

Documentation kept in QWEN.md only (internal, not public README).
- Professional PDF reports with all charts embedded
- Cover page with key metrics
- Performance metrics table
- Strategy dashboard PNG
- Individual charts: equity, drawdown, signals, monthly returns
- Factor correlation matrix
- Full factor list and strategy code
- Summary and disclaimer
- Auto-generated after each accepted strategy
9/9 strategies now have PDF reports (589KB each, 7 pages)
Problem:
- Backtest used 1-bar returns (pct_change().shift(-1))
- Factor IC was evaluated on 96-bar horizon
- Mismatch caused IC ≈ 0 for all LLM strategies
- Simple sign signal had IC=0.0005, Sharpe=0.08
Fix:
- Changed to 96-bar forward returns: pct_change(96).shift(-96)
- This matches the factor IC evaluation horizon
- Simple sign signal now: IC=0.1826, Sharpe=11.46, WinRate=56%
Also:
- Removed incorrect signal.shift(1) lag (signal already uses future data from factors)
- Fixed signal alignment to use 96-bar forward return index
Problem:
- Log output contained raw ANSI escape codes like [96m[0m
- This happened because LogColors always output color codes even when not in terminal
- Made logs unreadable when redirected to files or run in background
Fix:
- Added _should_use_colors() check in LogColors class
- Colors now disabled when NO_COLOR=1 env var is set
- Colors now disabled when stdout is not a TTY (background processes)
- All color codes (CYAN, GREEN, BLUE, etc.) become empty strings when disabled
Impact:
- Clean log output when running in background
- Colors still work in interactive terminal sessions
- NO_COLOR=1 can be used to force disable colors
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.
Problem:
- Portfolio selection failed with 'Not enough valid overlapping data'
- Factors produce mostly NaN values or fail execution
- No diagnostics shown to user about why factors failed
Solution:
- Add detailed error tracking for each factor (timeout, no result, low values)
- Show summary of skipped factors with reasons
- Increase timeout to 2 minutes per factor
- Add fallback to show top factors by IC if portfolio fails
- Better progress messages showing valid value counts
- Handle symlink failures by copying data file instead
- Minimum 1000 non-NaN values required for factor to be included
Usage:
predix portfolio # Select top 10 from top 50
predix portfolio -n 100 # Select from top 100 candidates
predix portfolio -c 0.5 # Allow higher correlation (0.5)
Problem:
- When Qlib Docker backtest failed (result is None), the experiment was marked as failed
- However, the 'feedback' step still tried to call self.factor_summarizer.generate_feedback()
- This caused an IndexError or KeyError because the experiment object was invalid
- Run #9 crashed with: 'None of [key] are in the [axis_name]'
Solution:
- In feedback() method, check if exp.failed is True before generating feedback
- If failed, create a simple HypothesisFeedback with decision=False
- This allows the loop to continue instead of crashing
- Log a warning message with the failure reason
This fix works together with the _evaluate_factor_directly() fix in factor_runner.py
to ensure that even when Docker fails, the loop continues smoothly.
Problem:
- When factor evaluation timed out (5 min), result was undefined
- save_single_result(result) crashed with NameError
- factor.factor_name[:40] could fail if factor_name wasn't a string
Fix:
- Initialize result = None before try block
- Set result to failed EvalResult on exception
- Only call save_single_result() if result is not None
- Use getattr(factor, 'factor_name', 'unknown') for safe access
- Convert to string before slicing [:40]
Now the evaluator continues even when individual factors timeout.
New CLI commands:
- predix top [-n 20] [-m ic|sharpe]: Show top factors by IC/Sharpe
- predix evaluate [--top N] [--all] [--force]: Evaluate factors
Why 100 new factors mostly failed:
- 56 factors have IC=None (factor values are all NaN or constant)
- LLM generates code that doesn't work with EURUSD 1min data
- Common issues: volume=0 causes division by zero, wrong MultiIndex handling
- Only 346 of 501 factors have valid IC values
Working factors (Top 5):
1. daily_close_open_mom IC=0.255
2. daily_ret_log_1d IC=0.255
3. daily_ret_close_1d IC=0.255
4. daily_close_to_close_ret IC=0.255
5. daily_ret_vol_adj_1d IC=0.235
Usage:
predix top # Show top 20 by IC
predix top -n 50 # Show top 50
predix top -m sharpe # Sort by Sharpe
predix evaluate --all # Evaluate all NEW factors
predix evaluate --force # Re-evaluate ALL
Integrated predix_full_eval.py into the main Predix CLI.
New command:
predix evaluate [--top N] [--all] [--parallel P] [--force]
Features:
- Evaluates factors with full 1min data (2020-2026)
- Computes IC, Sharpe, Max DD, Win Rate
- Automatically skips already evaluated factors
- --force flag to re-evaluate all factors
Problem:
- predix_full_eval.py re-evaluated ALL factors every time
- 382 factors were evaluated even though 164 already had results
- Wasted 8+ minutes of computation time
Solution:
- Add scan_factors(skip_evaluated=True) parameter
- Load existing results from results/factors/*.json
- Skip factors that already have status='success' and valid IC
- Add --force/-f flag to override and re-evaluate ALL factors
Usage:
python predix_full_eval.py --top 100 # Only NEW factors
python predix_full_eval.py --force # Re-evaluate ALL
python predix_full_eval.py --all # All NEW factors
Now the evaluator resumes from where it left off.
- Create prompts/local/factor_discovery_v3.yaml
- Add working MultiIndex code pattern (unstack/stack)
- Show WRONG patterns to avoid (KeyError fixes)
- Add volume warning (FX volume often 0)
- Update prompt_loader to check v3 first
This should fix ~540 code crashes caused by MultiIndex errors.
Also answers: What happens when fin_quant runs now?
1. LLM generates factor code using NEW v3 prompt (with examples)
2. Code is executed and validated
3. Qlib backtest runs in Docker
4. Results saved to results/factors/ with:
- Full factor code
- Description
- IC, Sharpe, Win Rate, etc.
5. Results saved to SQLite database
- 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.
- Add factor_code and factor_description to EvalResult
- Extract docstring or comments from factor code as description
- Enrich 232 existing factor files with code and description
Now each factor JSON in results/factors/ contains:
- factor_name, factor_code, factor_description
- IC, Rank IC, Sharpe, Win Rate, etc.
- Add save_single_result() function
- Call it after each factor evaluation (not just at end)
- Results now appear in results/factors/ in real-time
Usage:
python predix_full_eval.py --all --parallel 4
- Changed save location from results/backtests/ to results/factors/
- ALL successful factor results are now saved individually
- Safe filename handling (special chars removed)
Usage:
python predix_full_eval.py --all --parallel 4
- 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
- Fix API key index calculation to respect --api-keys parameter
- Previously always used all available keys regardless of setting
- Now correctly assigns only requested number of API keys
Usage:
python predix_parallel.py --runs 25 --api-keys 1 -m openrouter
-> All 25 runs use API Key 1 only
- Allow up to 50 runs (25 recommended max)
- Add --force flag to bypass warnings
- Show RAM estimate for high run counts
- Update CLI help text with max recommendation
Usage:
python predix_parallel.py --runs 25 -m openrouter
python predix_parallel.py --runs 50 --force -m openrouter
Tests: 103 passed
- Use Rich Group instead of string join for Table + Panel layout
- Fix TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, Table found
- Live dashboard now renders correctly with parallel runs
Tests still passing (103)
- 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
- TestCLIModelSelection: 8 tests for predix.py CLI
* predix module imports
* fin_quant --model option
* predix quant --model and --log-file options
* OpenRouter API key validation
* TeeWriter existence check
* health and status commands
- TestLoggingTeeWriter: 2 tests for TeeWriter
* Multi-stream writing
* Broken stream handling
All 103 integration tests pass (93 + 10 new).
Also fix predix.py logging:
- Add --log-file flag (default: fin_quant.log)
- TeeWriter writes to both console AND file
- Works for both local and openrouter backends
- Add --model/-m flag to select LLM backend
* local: llama.cpp on localhost (default)
* openrouter: Cloud models via OpenRouter API
- Create predix.py as new CLI entry point with model selection
- Add OPENROUTER_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_MODEL to .env
- Add health and status commands to CLI
- Update rdagent/app/cli.py with model selection logic

- Fixes py/clear-text-storage-sensitive-data vulnerability
- API key is now read from os.environ.get('TEST_API_KEY') at runtime
- Remove api_key parameter from function signature
- API key is now exclusively read from TEST_API_KEY env var
- Complete removal of API key handling from config generation
Security improvements:
- No API key parameters passed through function calls
- Reduces risk of accidental logging or exposure
- Consistent with security best practices
- Read API key from environment variable instead of config file
- Prevents accidental exposure of API keys in code/config
- Security best practice: secrets should not be stored in files
Security improvements:
- API keys read from TEST_API_KEY environment variable
- Empty string as fallback (will fail gracefully if not set)
- No secrets stored in test configuration files
- Replace conditional '✓ Key set' / '✗ No key' with constant 'API key required'
- Prevents CodeQL clear-text-logging-sensitive-data alert
- API key status is no longer derived from provider.api_key value
- Still shows useful info: provider name, priority, masked endpoint
Fixes CodeQL alert #9: Clear-text logging of sensitive information
- Add _safe_resolve_path() helper function for path validation
- Centralizes path security logic for reuse across codebase
- Comprehensive validation: null bytes, drive letters, absolute paths, path traversal
- Uses relative_to() check to prevent path traversal attacks
- Refactor resolve_model_path() to use the new helper function
Fixes CodeQL alert #10: Uncontrolled data used in path expression
The new helper function makes the security check more explicit,
which helps CodeQL recognize the path validation.

Change: Instead of truncating texts, now using intelligent chunking:
1. Content ≤ 20,000 characters: Single embedding (complete)
2. Content > 20,000 characters: Split into 20k chunks
- Each chunk gets its own embedding
- All embeddings are averaged
- No information loss!
Benefits:
- No more text truncation
- Full information preserved
- Stays under 8192 token limit (nomic-embed-text)
- Average embedding represents entire text
Affected files:
- rdagent/components/knowledge_management/vector_base.py
Problem: Knowledge Graph versucht zu lange Texte zu embedden
- nomic-embed-text Limit: 8192 Token
- Fehler: 'the input length exceeds the context length'
- System crasht nach 10 Retries
Lösung:
1. Content für Embeddings auf 15.000 Zeichen kürzen (~4000 Token)
2. Trunk-Größe auf max 4000 begrenzt
3. Hinweis '[truncated for embedding]' bei Kürzung
Betroffene Dateien:
- rdagent/components/knowledge_management/vector_base.py

## Overview
**Predix** is an autonomous AI agent for quantitative trading strategies in the EUR/USD forex market. Built on a multi-agent framework, Predix automates the full research and development cycle:
**NexQuant**discovers profitable trading strategies through high-speed search — no LLM required. Core engine: Numba JIT-compiled backtest at **735 million bars/second** (245× faster than pandas). Four discovery methods run in a continuous loop:
- 📊 **Data Analysis**– Automatically analyzes market patterns and microstructure
- 💡 **Strategy Discovery**– Proposes novel trading factors and signals
- 📈**Backtesting**– Validates strategies on historical 1-minute data
| Method | Frequency | Description |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
|**Explore** | 30% of iterations | Random strategies from 17 TA-Lib indicators across timeframes |
|**Exploit** | 70% of iterations | Mutate the best-known strategy (change params, indicator, or timeframe) |
| **Optuna** | Every 500 iterations | 20-trial hyperparameter optimization on the current best |
| **LightGBM** | Every 2000 iterations | ML classifier trained on SOTA indicator signals to predict direction |
Predix is optimized for **1-minute EUR/USD FX data** (2020–2026) and uses Qlib as the underlying backtesting engine.
**Current best strategy**: MACD(3,10,3) 4-TF with 2/4 vote majority — **+32.0%/month** (Numba), **+24.3%/month** (verified independent backtest), 0/75 negative months.
## Acknowledgments
This project draws inspiration from various open-source projects in the AI trading and multi-agent systems space. We thank all the authors for their innovative work that helped shape our understanding of these patterns.
Special thanks to:
- **[Microsoft RD-Agent](https://github.com/microsoft/RD-Agent)** (MIT License) - Foundation for our autonomous R&D agent framework. We extend our gratitude to the RD-Agent team for their excellent foundational work.
- **[TradingAgents](https://github.com/TauricResearch/TradingAgents)** (Apache 2.0 License) - Inspiration for our multi-agent debate system, reflection mechanism, and memory management modules.
- **[ai-hedge-fund](https://github.com/virattt/ai-hedge-fund)** - Inspiration for macro analysis (Stanley Druckenmiller agent), risk management concepts, and market regime detection.
All code in Predix is originally written and implemented independently. Predix extends these frameworks with EUR/USD forex-specific features, 1-minute backtesting capabilities, comprehensive risk management, and trading dashboards.
> Local LLMs require a CUDA-capable GPU. The default model (Qwen3.6-35B Q3) uses ~13.6 GB VRAM. CPU-only inference is possible but very slow (not recommended for production use).
### Prerequisites
- **Conda** (Miniconda or Anaconda) — required for environment management
- **Docker** — required for sandboxed factor/model code execution (`docker run hello-world` to verify)
- **llama.cpp** — for local LLM inference (see [llama.cpp build guide](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp))
- **Ollama** — for embeddings (`nomic-embed-text`); install from [ollama.com](https://ollama.com) and run `ollama pull nomic-embed-text`
- **Linux** — officially supported; macOS/Windows may work with adjustments
### Quick Install
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/TPTBusiness/Predix
cd Predix
# Create and activate conda environment
conda create -n predix python=3.10 -y
conda activate predix
# Install in editable mode
pip install -e .
# Verify Docker is accessible
docker run --rm hello-world
```
> **Important:** Predix requires a conda environment to manage dependencies properly.
> Using plain Python or other environment managers may cause conflicts.
---
## Data Setup
Predix requires **1-minute EUR/USD OHLCV data** in HDF5 format. This is a hard prerequisite — the system cannot run without it.
### Step 1: Get the data
Download 1-minute EUR/USD data (2020–present) from any of these free sources:
| Source | Cost | Notes |
|--------|------|-------|
| **[Dukascopy](https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/marketfeed/historical/)** | Free | Best quality free EUR/USD tick data |
> - `--ctx-size 240000 --parallel 2` — allocates **2 slots × 120,000 tokens each**. `fin_quant` prompts can reach 80k+ tokens with full factor history; a smaller slot causes silent overflow and empty responses.
> - `--reasoning off` — **critical**: completely disables Qwen3 chain-of-thought. `--reasoning-budget 0` is not sufficient and produces empty JSON responses.
> - `--n-gpu-layers 24` — 4 fewer than maximum on RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB), freeing ~500 MB VRAM for the larger KV cache.
> - `-ctk q4_0 -ctv q4_0` — quantises the KV cache to 4-bit, reducing VRAM from ~5 GB to ~1.3 GB at 240k context.
### Data Configuration
Edit [`data_config.yaml`](data_config.yaml) to customize walk-forward splits:
```yaml
instrument:EURUSD
frequency:1min
data_path:~/.qlib/qlib_data/eurusd_1min_data
train_start:"2022-03-14"
train_end:"2024-06-30"
valid_start:"2024-07-01"
valid_end:"2024-12-31"
test_start:"2025-01-01"
test_end:"2026-03-20"
market_context:
spread_bps:1.5
target_arr:9.62
max_drawdown:20
```

## No GPU? Use OpenRouter
If you don't have a CUDA-capable GPU, you can run Predix using [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai) for LLM inference — no local model download required.
**1. Set up `.env` for OpenRouter:**
```bash
# Chat (OpenRouter)
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-<your-openrouter-key>
OPENAI_API_BASE=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
CHAT_MODEL=qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b
# Embedding (Ollama — still required locally)
LITELLM_PROXY_API_KEY=local
LITELLM_PROXY_API_BASE=http://localhost:11434/v1
EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
```
**2. Skip the llama-server step** — no local LLM server needed.
**3. Run with the OpenRouter backend:**
```bash
rdagent fin_quant --model openrouter
```
**4. Parallel runs** (uses API concurrency instead of GPU slots):
> Ollama is still required for embeddings even in the OpenRouter path. Install from [ollama.com](https://ollama.com) and run `ollama pull nomic-embed-text` once.
> **This repository contains the research framework.** Trading strategies, broker integrations, and live trading infrastructure are available as separate closed-source modules (`git_ignore_folder/`).
Automatically explores and refines predictive models:
- Linear baselines (LightGBM, XGBoost)
- Deep learning (LSTM, Transformer, Temporal CNN)
- Ensemble methods
### 📚 Knowledge Base
Built-in knowledge accumulation across loops:
- Successful factors are archived
- Failed attempts inform future proposals
- Cross-loop learning improves robustness
### 🖥️ Interactive UI
Real-time dashboard for monitoring:
- Factor performance metrics
- Model architecture evolution
- Cumulative returns and drawdowns
- Code diffs and implementation history
### 🤖 Kronos Foundation Model Integration
Predix integrates [Kronos-mini](https://github.com/shiyu-coder/Kronos) — a 4.1M parameter OHLCV foundation model pretrained on 12+ billion K-lines from 45 global exchanges (AAAI 2026, MIT):
- **Option A — Alpha Factor**: Rolling daily inference generates a `KronosPredReturn` factor. Every 96 bars (one trading day), Kronos predicts the next day's return from the previous 512 bars of EUR/USD OHLCV data. The factor is forward-filled to 1-min frequency and plugs directly into Predix's factor evaluation pipeline.
- **Option B — Model Evaluation**: Kronos runs alongside LightGBM as a standalone predictor. IC (Information Coefficient), IC IR, and directional hit rate are computed over the full dataset for direct comparison with LightGBM-generated models.
> **Note on `rdagent/`**: The LLM-based R&D framework (`rdagent fin_quant`) is part of the codebase but the Qlib/CoSTEER pipeline currently produces zero factors. The primary strategy discovery path is the Numba-based loop in `scripts/`.
