Problem Statement

In modern financial markets, successful trading requires:

• Processing vast amounts of data 📊
• Analyzing multiple market regimes 📈
• Adapting to changing conditions 🔄
• Managing risk effectively 🛡️
• Making decisions with incomplete information ⚖️

Solution

Our multi-agent system addresses these challenges through:

• Distributed intelligence across specialized agents
• Self-supervision and adaptation
• Confidence-based decision making
• Real-time market regime detection
• Robust risk management frameworks

Note: The system includes 6 specialized trading agents, but only the Technical Agent has basic regime detection. The sophisticated HMM-based RegimeDetectionService exists but is not started in the API, leaving the system operating at ~10% of its regime detection potential.

Workflow Description 🔄

Theoretical Foundation

1. Market Regime Theory 📚
   • Markets exhibit different behavioral patterns (trending, ranging, volatile)
   • Each regime requires different trading strategies
   • Regime detection requires multiple indicators and confidence measures
2. Self-Supervision Principles 🧠
   • Agents learn from their own performance
   • Continuous adaptation to market conditions
   • Confidence-based decision making
3. Risk Management Framework 🛡️
   • Multi-level confidence thresholds
   • Position sizing based on confidence scores
   • Dynamic stop-loss adjustment

Practical Implementation

Real-World Example 🌟

Scenario: Market Regime Change

1. Initial State

   market_regime = "ranging"
   confidence = 0.52
   

2. Agent Actions
   • Technical Agent: Detects ranging market
   • Reversion Agent: Generates mean reversion signals
   • Sentiment Agent: Monitors mood shifts
3. Supervisor Response
   • Validates regime confidence
