Overview
A Python repo combining a Gradio-based quant workspace (src/, launched with start.py) and many standalone examples for strategies, alpha mining, RL and financial NLP. The workspace covers market research, rule and ML strategy composition, fee-aware backtests, local RAG over documents, and LLM agent sessions through OpenAI/LiteLLM interfaces. Much of the repo is tutorials and curated resource lists.
Who it is for: Quant traders and researchers learning or prototyping AI trading strategies
Strengths
- Workspace backtests set commission, tax and slippage, with REST API and CLI access
- Wide strategy examples: double MA, FinRL reinforcement learning, alpha mining, LightGBM/XGBoost
- Curated awesome_projects lists with per-project license and maintenance notes
- Local document RAG with cited references, plus MCP and Skills management
Weaknesses
- Legacy egs_* examples each have separate dependencies and do not share one runtime
- README demo GIFs use mock data and show no investment performance
- Live broker execution needs a separately configured channel and checks
- Some tutorials and video content sit behind a Knowledge Planet community
What it needs
- GPU optional
- Docker + Compose
- Needs Python 3.10-3.14, Gradio, LiteLLM, Qlib (optional), Langfuse (optional)
- Models: OpenAI-compatible APIs, LiteLLM, LightGBM, XGBoost, CPU MLP
- port 8000
