-# Tests to skip (known false positives or acceptable risks)
 skips:
-  - B101  # assert_used (asserts are OK in non-production code)
-  - B602  # subprocess_popen_with_shell_equals_true (known issue, will fix separately)
-  - B701  # jinja2_autoescape_false (false positive - code templates, not HTML)

-  - B615  # huggingface_unsafe_download (will audit separately)
-  - B307  # eval usage (will audit separately)

-confidence_level: MEDIUM
+  # B101: assert_used - assert statements are used for development

-## Reporting Issues
+### 2. Create a Branch
 
-If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvements, please open an issue on GitHub.
+```bash
+# Use conventional commit prefixes in branch names
+git checkout -b feat/your-feature-name
+# or
+git checkout -b fix/bug-description
+git checkout -b docs/documentation-update
+git checkout -b refactor/code-cleanup
+```
 
-## Guidelines
+**Branch naming convention:**
+- `feat/` - New features
+- `fix/` - Bug fixes
+- `docs/` - Documentation changes
+- `refactor/` - Code refactoring
+- `test/` - Test additions/fixes
+- `chore/` - Maintenance tasks
 
-- Ensure your code follows the project's coding standards.
-- Write clear and concise commit messages.
-- Update documentation as needed.
-- Test your changes thoroughly before submitting a pull request.
+### 3. Make Your Changes
 
-Thank you for contributing to Predix!
+Follow the project conventions:
+
+- **Code style**: Use type hints, docstrings (Google style), and 120 char line limit
+- **Language**: All comments and documentation MUST be in English
+- **Structure**: Follow the existing module structure
+
+### 4. Write Tests
+
+**MANDATORY:** All new features MUST have tests with >80% coverage.
+
+```bash
+# Run tests
+pytest test/ -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=rdagent --cov-report=html
+
+# Run integration tests
+pytest test/integration/ -v
+```
+
+### 5. Run Pre-commit Hooks
+
+Pre-commit hooks run automatically before EVERY commit:
+
+```bash
+# Install pre-commit
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run manually
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+### 6. Commit Your Changes
+
+Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format:
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "type: description"
+
+# Types:
+# feat:     New feature
+# fix:      Bug fix
+# docs:     Documentation
+# style:    Formatting
+# refactor: Code restructuring
+# test:     Tests
+# chore:    Maintenance
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+git commit -m "feat: Add Optuna hyperparameter optimization"
+git commit -m "fix: Resolve database connection timeout"
+git commit -m "docs: Update README with new CLI commands"
+git commit -m "test: Add integration tests for portfolio optimizer"
+```
+
+### 7. Push and Create a Pull Request
+
+```bash
+git push origin your-branch-name
+```
+
+Then open a Pull Request on GitHub with:
+- Clear title (use conventional commit format)
+- Description of changes
+- Link to related issues
+- Screenshots (for UI changes)
+
+## Code Review Process
+
+All PRs are reviewed by maintainers. Expect:
+- Automated checks (tests, linting, security scan)
+- Code review by maintainers
+- Possible requested changes
+
+## Important Rules
+
+### 🚫 NEVER COMMIT
+
+- `.env` files or API keys
+- Generated data (`results/`, `*.db`, `*.log`)
+- Closed-source assets (`models/local/`, `prompts/local/`)
+- JSON strategy files in root directory
+- Private credentials or tokens
+
+### ✅ ALWAYS DO
+
+- Write tests for new features
+- Update documentation for user-visible changes
+- Run `pre-commit run --all-files` before pushing
+- Keep commit messages in English
+- Follow conventional commit format

 ## 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
-- 🧠 **Model Evolution** – Iteratively improves predictive models
-- 📈 **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.

+> **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/`.

+# NexQuant v2.0.0 Release Notes
+
+**Release Date:** 2026-04-10
+
+**Tag:** v2.0.0
+
+---
+
+## 🎉 Overview
+
+Major update adding AI-powered strategy generation, realistic backtesting, and comprehensive CLI tooling. NexQuant now autonomously generates, evaluates, and optimizes trading strategies using local LLMs.
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Added
+
+### LLM-Powered Strategy Generation
+- **StrategyOrchestrator**: Generate trading strategies by combining factors with LLM
+- **Local llama.cpp Support**: Run strategy generation locally (Qwen3.5-35B)
+- **OpenRouter Support**: Optional cloud model fallback
+- **Improved Prompts (v3)**: IC-sign-aware factor combination instructions
+- **Diverse Factor Selection**: Automatic selection by type (momentum, divergence, volatility, session)
+
+### Realistic Backtesting
+- **OHLCV-Based Returns**: Real price returns instead of factor proxies
+- **Spread Costs**: 1.5 bps per trade deducted from returns
+- **Forward-Fill Support**: Daily factors → 1-min frequency
+- **Proper Annualization**: sqrt(252*1440) for 1-min data
+
+### CLI Commands
+- `rdagent nexquant` - Show beautiful welcome screen (perfect for screenshots!)
+- `rdagent start_llama` - Start llama.cpp server
+- `rdagent start_loop` - Start strategy generator loop with auto-restart
+- `rdagent generate_strategies` - Generate strategies from factors
+- `rdagent optimize_portfolio` - Portfolio optimization
+- `rdagent eval_all` - Evaluate factors with full data
+- `rdagent batch_backtest` - Batch backtest existing factors
+- `rdagent report` - Generate PDF performance reports
+- `rdagent rebacktest` - Re-backtest existing strategies
+
+### Code Quality
+- **282+ Integration Tests**: All features tested
+- **Security Hardening**: All Dependabot/CodeQL alerts resolved
+- **Pre-commit Hooks**: Automated tests + security scanning
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Changed
+
+- Utility scripts organized in `scripts/` directory
+- Generated data moved to `results/`
+- Config files moved to `constraints/`
+- Root directory cleaned
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Fixed
+
+- JSON strategy files no longer committed to root
+- LICENSE badge link corrected (main → master)
+- Security vulnerabilities resolved (bandit, path traversal)
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Installation
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/TPTBusiness/NexQuant

+# 🎯 PREDIX: Vollständige Integration in fin_quant Loop
+
+## ✅ Implementierte Features
+
+### 1. Realistisches Backtesting
+- **Echte OHLCV-Daten** aus `intraday_pv.h5` (2.26M Bars, 2020-2026)
+- **Forward-Fill** täglicher Faktoren auf 1-Min-Frequenz
+- **Spread-Kosten**: 1.5 bps pro Trade
+- **Korrekte Annualisierung**: sqrt(252*1440) für 1-Min-Daten
+
+### 2. Verbesserter LLM-Prompt
+- **IC-geführte Faktorwahl**: |IC| > 0.10 PRIORITIZE, |IC| > 0.05 USE
+- **IC-gewichtete Kombinationen**: Höhere IC = höheres Gewicht
+- **Bessere Beispiele** mit IC-Gewichten im Prompt
+- **Verfügbarkeit von 'close' Series** für zusätzliche Berechnungen
+
+### 3. Optuna-Optimierung
+- **20 Trials pro Strategie** (konfigurierbar)
+- **TPESampler** mit MedianPruner
+- **Optimiert**: entry_threshold, rolling_window, SL, TP, Trailing Stop
+- **Auto-Update** wenn Optuna Sharpe verbessert
+
+### 4. Automatische Strategiegenerierung
+- **Trigger**: Alle 500 Faktoren (konfigurierbar)
+- **3 Strategien pro Zyklus** mit zufälligen Faktor-Kombinationen
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Bricht Hauptloop nicht bei Fehlern
+
+## 🚀 Benutzung
+
+### Automatisch (im fin_quant Loop)
+```bash
+# Standard: Alle 500 Faktoren
+rdagent fin_quant --auto-strategies
+
+# Custom threshold
+rdagent fin_quant --auto-strategies --auto-strategies-threshold 1000
+
+# Mit OpenRouter
+rdagent fin_quant -m openrouter --auto-strategies
+```
+
+### Manuell
+```bash
+# 5 Strategien mit Optuna
+rdagent generate_strategies --count 5 --optuna --optuna-trials 20
+
+# Ohne Optuna (schneller)
+rdagent generate_strategies --count 5 --no-optuna
+```
+
+## 📊 Testergebnisse
+
+### MomentumDivergenceZScore (vorher vs. nachher)
+
+| Metrik | Vorher | Nachher |

+| **Datenpunkte** | 259 (4.3h) | 823,450 (2.27 Jahre) |
+| **Sharpe** | 3.59 | 6.04 |
+| **Max DD** | -0.22% | -1.57% |

+## 🔧 Architecture
+
+```
+fin_quant Loop
+    │
+    ├─ Factor Generation (LLM → Docker → Evaluation)
+    │   └─ Every 500 factors → Trigger Strategy Generation
+    │
+    └─ StrategyOrchestrator (auto-strategies)
+        │
+        ├─ Load Top 50 Factors (by IC)
+        ├─ For each strategy (3x):
+        │   ├─ Select random 2-5 factors
+        │   ├─ LLM generates code (improved prompt)
+        │   ├─ Evaluate with real OHLCV
+        │   ├─ Optuna optimize (20 trials)
+        │   └─ Save if accepted
+        │
+        └─ Log results
+```
+
+## 📝 Nächste Schritte
+
+1. **Live Trading**: Bestehende Strategien für Paper Trading nutzen
+2. **Mehr Faktoren**: Weiterhin Faktoren generieren für bessere Strategien
+3. **Dashboard**: Live-Statistiken im Web/CLI Dashboard anzeigen
+
+## ⚠️ Wichtige Hinweise
+
+- **Forward-Fill** kann zu Daten-Leakage führen (tägliche Werte werden auf Minuten aufgefüllt)
+- **Optuna** benötigt 20-30 Sekunden pro Strategie
+- **Auto-Strategies** nur wenn ≥10 Faktoren verfügbar
+- **LLM** muss verfügbar sein (local oder openrouter)

+Beispiel 01: Factor Discovery - Automatische Faktor-Generierung
+
+Was macht dieses Beispiel?
+    Dieses Skript demonstriert die automatische Generierung neuer Trading-Faktoren
+    mittels LLM (Large Language Model). Es führt den CoSTEER-Loop aus, der:
+    1. Faktor-Hypothesen generiert
+    2. Implementiert und backtestet
+    3. Feedback für Verbesserungen gibt
+
+Voraussetzungen:
+    - PREDIX installiert (`pip install -e ".[all]"`)
+    - EURUSD 1-Minute Daten in Qlib geladen
+    - LLM-Server läuft (für --llm local) ODER API-Key gesetzt
+
+Erwartete Laufzeit:
+    ~10-15 Minuten pro Loop (local LLM)
+    ~30-60 Minuten pro Loop (API LLM)
+
+Output:
+    - Generierte Faktoren in RD-Agent_workspace/
+    - Performance-Metriken (ARR, Sharpe, IC, MaxDD)
+    - Faktor-Implementierungen als Python-Code

+Was macht dieses Beispiel?
+    Dieses Skript zeigt, wie man bestehende Trading-Faktoren durch Hinzufügen

+    
+    Verbesserungstechniken:
+    1. Session-Filter (London/NY nur) - 73% Erfolgsrate
+    2. Regime-Filter (ADX-basiert) - 65% Erfolgsrate
+    3. Lookback-Optimierung - 58% Erfolgsrate
+    4. Kombination mit komplementären Faktoren - 69% Erfolgsrate
+
+Voraussetzungen:
+    - Mindestens ein generierter Faktor vorhanden (aus Beispiel 01)
+    - EURUSD 1-Minute Daten in Qlib geladen
+
+Erwartete Laufzeit:
+    ~15-20 Minuten pro Faktor
+
+Output:

+Beispiel 05: Model Training - ML-Modell (LSTM/XGBoost) trainieren
+
+Was macht dieses Beispiel?
+    Dieses Skript trainiert ein ML-Modell auf Faktor-Daten für EUR/USD
+    Vorhersagen. Es unterstützt LSTM (Deep Learning) und XGBoost (Gradient Boosting).
+    
+    Der Workflow umfasst:
+    1. Daten laden & Features engineering (MultiIndex-safe)
+    2. Temporale Train/Val/Test Split (KEIN Shuffle!)
+    3. Modell-Training mit Early Stopping
+    4. Evaluation auf Test-Set
+    5. Modell speichern
+
+Voraussetzungen:
+    - Generierte Faktoren vorhanden (aus Beispiel 01)
+    - Für LSTM: PyTorch installiert (`pip install torch`)
+    - Für XGBoost: XGBoost installiert (`pip install xgboost`)
+
+Erwartete Laufzeit:
+    XGBoost: ~5-10 Minuten
+    LSTM: ~20-40 Minuten (CPU), ~5-10 Minuten (GPU)
+
+Output:
+    - Trainiertes Modell in models/
+    - Train/Val/Test Ergebnisse
+    - Feature Importance (bei XGBoost)

+Beispiel 06: RL Trading Agent - Reinforcement Learning für Trading
+
+Was macht dieses Beispiel?
+    Dieses Skript trainiert einen Reinforcement Learning (RL) Agent, der
+    eigenständig Trading-Entscheidungen trifft. Der Agent lernt durch
+    Trial-and-Error, wann er Long/Short gehen oder neutral bleiben soll.
+    
+    Unterstützte Algorithmen:
+    - PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization): Stabil, guter Default
+    - DQN (Deep Q-Network): Sample-effizient, aber komplexer
+    - A2C (Advantage Actor-Critic): Schneller, aber weniger stabil
+
+Voraussetzungen:
+    - RL-Abhängigkeiten installiert (`pip install -e ".[rl]"`)
+    - Faktor-Daten vorhanden (aus Beispiel 01)
+    - Empfohlen: GPU für schnellere Laufzeit
+
+Erwartete Laufzeit:
+    ~30-60 Minuten (CPU, 1000 Episodes)
+    ~10-20 Minuten (GPU, 1000 Episodes)
+
+Output:
+    - Trainierter RL-Agent in models/rl_agent/
+    - Learning Curve (Reward pro Episode)
+    - Trading-Statistiken des Agents

+
+## 📖 Detaillierte Anleitungen
+
+### Beispiel 01: Factor Discovery
+
+**Ziel:** Automatisch neue Trading-Faktoren mit LLM generieren lassen
+
+```bash
+python examples/01_factor_discovery.py --loop-n 5 --llm local
+```
+
+**Output:**
+- Generierte Faktoren in `RD-Agent_workspace/`
+- Performance-Metriken (ARR, Sharpe, IC)
+- Faktor-Implementierungen als Python-Code
+
+**Nächste Schritte:**
+→ Siehe `02_factor_evolution.py` um Faktoren zu optimieren
+
+### Beispiel 02: Factor Evolution
+
+**Ziel:** Bestehende Faktoren mit Session/Regime Filters verbessern
+
+```bash
+python examples/02_factor_evolution.py --factor momentum_16 --improve session_filter
+```
+
+**Output:**
+- Verbesserte Faktoren mit Before/After-Vergleich
+- Metrik-Verbesserungen (ARR +X%, Sharpe +X.X)
+
+### Beispiel 03: Strategy Generation
+
+**Ziel:** Mehrere Faktoren zu einer robusten Strategie kombinieren
+
+```bash
+python examples/03_strategy_generation.py --factors momentum_16,reversal,session_alpha
+```
+
+**Output:**
+- IC-weighted Faktor-Kombination
+- Signal-Verteilung (Long/Short/Neutral)
+
+### Beispiel 04: Backtest
+
+**Ziel:** Backtest einer Trading-Strategie auf historischen Daten
+
+```bash
+python examples/04_backtest_simple.py --strategy momentum --start 2020-01-01 --end 2025-12-31
+```
+
+**Output:**
+- Key-Metriken: ARR, Sharpe, MaxDD, WinRate
+- Equity Curve (optional als Plot)
+
+### Beispiel 05: Model Training
+
+**Ziel:** ML-Modell (LSTM/XGBoost) auf Faktor-Daten trainieren
+
+```bash
+python examples/05_model_training.py --model lstm --features momentum_16,reversal
+```
+
+**Output:**
+- Trainiertes Modell in `models/`
+- Train/Val/Test Split Ergebnisse
+- Feature Importance (bei XGBoost)
+
+### Beispiel 06: RL Trading Agent
+
+**Ziel:** Reinforcement Learning Agent für Trading trainieren
+
+```bash
+python examples/06_rl_trading_agent.py --algo ppo --episodes 1000
