Chinese Microsoft Quants built their own trading research AI quant that replaces them - dropped 15k star repo
the twist: in backtests it made ~2x more per year than the formulas Quants have used for years
here's how thier AI Quant works, step by step:
step 1 → it writes trading hypothesis like a quant would - e.g. "volume-confirmed reversal beats momentum in high-vol markets"
step 2 → it turns idea into factor code and backtests it in Qlib on CSI 300 and NASDAQ-100 data
step 3 → it reads the result, keeps what works, kills what doesn't and tunes factors and models together in a loop
how to steal this for your own trading system:
step 4 → hand the repo to Claude Code https://t.co/r0mtaznIV8
- "pip install rdagent", add your LLM key, "rdagent health_check", then "rdagent fin_quant"
step 5 → set Opus 5.5 in the .env to the newest model you have - it runs on LiteLLM, so Claude, GPT or Gemini all plug in
step 6 → drop your research into "rdagent fin_factor_report" - it turns financial reports into factors it can backtest
step 7 → open "rdagent server_ui" - watch every hypothesis, line of code and backtest live, then copy the winning factors into your own system
the result: 14.21% vs 5.70% annual return on CSI 300 and an information ratio of 1.77 on NASDAQ-100 in backtests - with 70% fewer-factors, for under $10 accepted at NeurIPS 2025

🔥 NO CARD. NO CASH. ONE SLIDES THE CHECK CLOSER, THE OTHER STOPS IT WITH HER HAND, THEN SOMETHING RED GOES INSIDE THE FOLDER 🤲 $26K A MONTH ON PAPER 💰
Night terrace 🌙 warm light on everything. Two espresso martinis between them, a leather check folder lands on the table.
🤍 One in beige, one in black, their hair falling over their shoulders.
She draws the folder toward herself. Smooth. Steady.
The other lays her whole hand 🤲 on top of it. Calm.
"No, but I wanna pay."
"Okay, let's take this together."
Then one of them pulls out something small, red 🔴 and lacy
and tucks it into the folder like a tip.
None of it is real 🚫
Not the girls. Not the terrace 🌿 Not the payment.
The hard part isn't the joke. It's the weight: four hands that have to rest on one leather folder 🔒 and press down slightly, fingers that don't merge, and a glass in front that holds its reflections the whole time.
🤖 This is the level AI is at right now.
Most pages are still posting random faces.
The ones actually getting paid locked one character and built a system around her 🔒 🔥
Which part did you watch twice, the cover or the tuck? 👀
