Vibe-Trading: Testing Investment Strategies Using Historical Data

Translated

소개하는 봇

This is a tool that lets you test your written investment strategy against historical data before you put your investment ideas into writing.

3-Line Summary

1) When you describe an investment idea in words, the AI looks up market data and tests it against historical data. 2) After installing it via pip and completing the initial setup, you can run a backtest with a single command. 3) This is useful for reviewing strategies in advance; for example, you can test a BTC moving average strategy for 2024.

If there are no results, do not fill in the model’s memory; simply state that it is ‘unverified’ or ‘unconfirmed.’” (Translation) https://github.com/HKUDS/Vibe-Trading/discussions/29#discussioncomment-17694706

Points to Note

This is not an investment recommendation, and there is a risk of loss. Although the app includes a feature that allows users to place actual orders through authorized brokerage channels, it is still in the experimental stage, and the development team has stated that they have not verified it using actual brokerage accounts.
