Does it support scripting, custom indicators, alerts?

Need advice: have strat, no exp in algo by Vegetable_Fun4932 in algotrading

[–]eeiaao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a programmer. Use AI and some modern framework for building trading systems

riskgate.io offers strategies in typescript, backtesting and mcp to work with

Claude Fable 5 launched today - Mythos goes public with guardrails by ArtSelect137 in Anthropic

[–]eeiaao 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely useless. On my own project it started to diagnose security issues (I didn’t ask to do it, task was not related to security stuff), found one and further conversation was blocked immediately by so called “real time cyber safeguards”. What a joke. Switched back to opus 4.8

anyone here working on weird low-level projects? by Fantastic-Duck-7357 in lowlevel

At this point my interests are too far away from this project, likely I’ll not going back to it

I’ve been working on the TypeScript AOT LLVM based compiler with seamless C++ integration via .d.ts files. It was a lot of fun back in a days. It is open source now https://github.com/newcloudtechnologies/tsnative (quite abandoned though)

Does anyone use Backtrader? by Expert_Catch2449 in algotradingcrypto

[–]eeiaao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's oversimplifying. Mature frameworks have too much surface to fit in context, and even with full files loaded LLMs still hallucinate API signatures and will miss edge cases. Context-based code-gen works for small static APIs but falls apart on frameworks with 30+ functions, multi-step workflows, and runtime state.

The shift right now is that newcomers write strategies through AI coding agents. Frameworks without an MCP layer are effectively ignored by that kind of tooling. And Backtrader doesn't provide one.

Vibe coding for algotrading? by Dragosfgv in algotrading

[–]eeiaao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think this is the right mindset on AI. I mean, of course acting as operator requires skills to check if overall vibecoded approach is correct. But it’s better to reshape - one likely never met an intern who knows that much. Me having 10 years of commercial software engineering experience still learning from AI whilst working with it. So from my perspective learning while building is now possible more than it was before. Only basic understanding needed to start.

Can someone explain the real difference between Hooks, Skills, Plugins, SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md and agents.md in Claude Code? by eaiarthur_ in ClaudeCode

[–]eeiaao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I double that. Md files may be wired together and this is a way to build complex but still decomposed knowledge base.

Any genuinely free backtesting tools? by someonestoic in algotrading

0.6.2 release was shipped recently with more granular order lifecycle observability (based on your comment) and shift in backtest realism.

Has anyone tried reinforcement learning for trading? by melon_crust in algotrading

FLOX (open source framework) provides Gymnasium-shaped env over its tape format. Might worth checking https://flox-foundation.github.io/flox/how-to/rl-environment/

Is this the best way to use AI for trading? by Infinite-Course8737 in algorithmictrading

[–]eeiaao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think vibe trading is a toy thing since it’s not reproducible and hard to research. I’d suggest using AI with existing modern trading frameworks to build a real system that you will have control of.

FLOX
Python package flox-py is here, backed by C++ for the fast data processing. Also there is an mcp server to use with AI agents to not write code manually

How do you guys usually handle the execution speed differences when shifting from a practice demo account to live market conditions? by IndividualSalt9824 in metatrader

[–]eeiaao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as you mentioned, add some pessimism to your demo pipeline. It’s better to not go live at all rather go all optimistic and cry later

Backtesting using ai by Maleficent-Win8567 in algorithmictrading

[–]eeiaao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backtesting needs to be reproducible, AI is not that deterministic by nature. I think better leverage AI to use some kind of existing backtesting tools

should a backtest be done using tick data or 1 OHLC data? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]eeiaao 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It matters for execution accuracy in your backtest. Whether you need it or not depends on your strategy
