AI Hedge Fund

This is a proof of concept for an AI-powered hedge fund. The goal of this project is to explore the use of AI to make trading decisions. This project is for educational purposes only and is not intended for real trading or investment.

4. Charlie Munger Agent - Warren Buffett's partner, only buys wonderful businesses at fair prices
5. Michael Burry Agent - The Big Short contrarian who hunts for deep value
6. Peter Lynch Agent - Practical investor who seeks "ten-baggers" in everyday businesses
7. Phil Fisher Agent - Meticulous growth investor who uses deep "scuttlebutt" research
8. Stanley Druckenmiller Agent - Macro legend who hunts for asymmetric opportunities with growth potential
9. Warren Buffett Agent - The oracle of Omaha, seeks wonderful companies at a fair price
10. Valuation Agent - Calculates the intrinsic value of a stock and generates trading signals
11. Sentiment Agent - Analyzes market sentiment and generates trading signals
12. Fundamentals Agent - Analyzes fundamental data and generates trading signals
13. Technicals Agent - Analyzes technical indicators and generates trading signals
14. Risk Manager - Calculates risk metrics and sets position limits

Setup

Using Poetry

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/virattt/ai-hedge-fund.git
cd ai-hedge-fund

1. Install Poetry (if not already installed):

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

2. Install dependencies:

poetry install

3. Set up your environment variables:

# Create .env file for your API keys
cp .env.example .env

4. Set your API keys:

# For running LLMs hosted by openai (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, etc.)
# Get your OpenAI API key from https://platform.openai.com/
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key

# For running LLMs hosted by groq (deepseek, llama3, etc.)
# Get your Groq API key from https://groq.com/
GROQ_API_KEY=your-groq-api-key

# For getting financial data to power the hedge fund
# Get your Financial Datasets API key from https://financialdatasets.ai/
FINANCIAL_DATASETS_API_KEY=your-financial-datasets-api-key

Using Docker

1. Make sure you have Docker installed on your system. If not, you can download it from Docker's official website.

2. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/virattt/ai-hedge-fund.git
cd ai-hedge-fund

3. Set up your environment variables:

# Create .env file for your API keys
cp .env.example .env

4. Edit the .env file to add your API keys as described above.

5. Build the Docker image:

# On Linux/Mac:
./run.sh build

# On Windows:
run.bat build

Important: You must set OPENAI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or DEEPSEEK_API_KEY for the hedge fund to work. If you want to use LLMs from all providers, you will need to set all API keys.

Financial data for AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT, NVDA, and TSLA is free and does not require an API key.

For any other ticker, you will need to set the FINANCIAL_DATASETS_API_KEY in the .env file.

Usage

Running the Hedge Fund

With Poetry

poetry run python src/main.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA

With Docker

# On Linux/Mac:
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA main

# On Windows:
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA main

Example Output:

You can also specify a --ollama flag to run the AI hedge fund using local LLMs.

# With Poetry:
poetry run python src/main.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --ollama

# With Docker (on Linux/Mac):
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --ollama main

# With Docker (on Windows):
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --ollama main

You can also specify a --show-reasoning flag to print the reasoning of each agent to the console.

# With Poetry:
poetry run python src/main.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --show-reasoning

# With Docker (on Linux/Mac):
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --show-reasoning main

# With Docker (on Windows):
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --show-reasoning main

You can optionally specify the start and end dates to make decisions for a specific time period.

# With Poetry:
poetry run python src/main.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --start-date 2024-01-01 --end-date 2024-03-01 

# With Docker (on Linux/Mac):
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --start-date 2024-01-01 --end-date 2024-03-01 main

# With Docker (on Windows):
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --start-date 2024-01-01 --end-date 2024-03-01 main

Running the Backtester

With Poetry

poetry run python src/backtester.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA

With Docker

# On Linux/Mac:
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA backtest

# On Windows:
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA backtest

Example Output:

You can optionally specify the start and end dates to backtest over a specific time period.

# With Poetry:
poetry run python src/backtester.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --start-date 2024-01-01 --end-date 2024-03-01

# With Docker (on Linux/Mac):
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --start-date 2024-01-01 --end-date 2024-03-01 backtest

# With Docker (on Windows):
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --start-date 2024-01-01 --end-date 2024-03-01 backtest

You can also specify a --ollama flag to run the backtester using local LLMs.

# With Poetry:
poetry run python src/backtester.py --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --ollama

# With Docker (on Linux/Mac):
./run.sh --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --ollama backtest

# With Docker (on Windows):
run.bat --ticker AAPL,MSFT,NVDA --ollama backtest
