HKUDS Open-Sources Vibe-Trading: An AI Agent for Backtesting and Trade Journaling
alex_verem · x · 2026-08-11
HKUDS, the lab behind LightRAG, has open-sourced Vibe-Trading, a personal trading agent with over 30.5k GitHub stars.
Key features:
- Shadow Account: Upload your broker journal, and the system extracts your implicit trading rules to build a disciplined "shadow you." It runs a backtest and generates a counterfactual report showing PnL lost to early exits and rule violations.
- Research Workspace: Describe a strategy in plain English (e.g., "backtest a BTC 20/50 MA strategy for 2024"), and the agent writes the code, runs the backtest, validates it, and exports the report.
- Alpha Factors: Includes 462 pre-built alpha factors from Qlib, the 101 Formulaic Alphas, and academic sets.
- Market Coverage: Supports US, HK, A-share equities, crypto, futures, and forex across 18 free data sources and 12 broker connectors.
The tool runs locally via a single pip install, defaults to paper trading, and locks live trading behind explicit mandates with a kill switch. It also features a closed external security audit and diagnoses behavioral biases like the disposition effect.
