#!/usr/bin/env python3 """R&D Loop for Technical Indicators — Replaces factor pipeline with indicator discovery. Architecture (mirrors the original R&D loop): 1. Hypothesize: LLM proposes indicator combinations with parameters 2. Evaluate: Direct backtest_signal (no Docker, no Qlib) 3. Feedback: Compare against SOTA, bias next hypotheses 4. Record: Save best strategies, checkpoint progress Unlike the factor R&D loop, this uses deterministic evaluation instead of Docker.
