AI Hedge Fund Update: Full Backtesting with Point-in-Time Data
virattt · x · 2026-07-24
virattt shared an update on the open-source AI Hedge Fund project, which now supports backtesting for any fund.
The core workflow operates as follows:
- Provide a Mandate: Define the investment strategy and constraints for the AI.
- Pick Trading Days: The system determines and selects the days to trade.
- Run the Fund: Executes the strategy and simulates fund performance.
- Plot Returns: Visualizes the fund's returns against a benchmark.
The author emphasized that the system uses strictly point-in-time data with no lookahead bias, ensuring robust and realistic backtesting results.
