MAIN WORKFLOW (algo_trading_workflow.py) ✅ Complete bot orchestration ✅ Iteration-based trading loop ✅ Integration with analysis agents ✅ State management and persistence ✅ Trade logging and reporting ✅ Status tracking 6. DEMO SCRIPT (algo_trading_demo.py) ✅ Runnable demonstrations of all components ✅ No API keys required ✅ Shows complete trading flow ✅ Tests all major features ================================================================================ GUARDRAILS IMPLEMENTED ================================================================================ Position Sizing: • Max 8% of portfolio in one stock • Min $100 per trade • Max $2000 per trade • Scaled by signal strength (stronger signal = bigger position) Portfolio Limits: • Max 25% in risky trades (pump/momentum) • Max 10 open positions • Maintains minimum cash buffer Exit Management: • Profit target: +5% (SELL) • Stop loss: -2% (SELL) • Time limit: 5 days (SELL) • Trailing stop: 2% from peak (SELL) • Signal decay: signal < 40 (SELL) Order Validation: • Funds availability check • Position limit enforcement • Price sanity checks • Market condition validation ================================================================================ QUICK START ================================================================================ 1.

Calculate position size → max_position = 8% of portfolio → scaled_position = max_position * (signal_score / 100) → enforce min $100 and max $2000 2. Check portfolio constraints → enough cash? → within 8% rule? → within 25% risky limit? → under 10 position limit? 3. Validate order → sufficient funds? → position size ok? → price reasonable? 4. Execute trade → place buy order → update portfolio → log trade MONITORING (every 5 minutes): 1. Check each position for exit signals 2. Evaluate multiple conditions: → profit target reached? → stop loss hit? → time limit exceeded? → trailing stop triggered? → signal deteriorated? 3. If exit signal: → validate sell order → execute sell → record P/L → free up capital ================================================================================ TESTING RESULTS ================================================================================ ✅ Component Tests (all passing): ✓ Portfolio manager position sizing ✓ Exit strategy signal detection ✓ Trade validator order checks ✓ Paper trading interface ✓ Complete trading flow ✅ Demo Test Results: ✓ Position sizing: 4 shares $600 (82% signal → 6.5% portfolio) ✓ Exit triggers: profit +5.3%, stop -2%, time limit 5 days ✓ Validation: correctly rejects invalid orders ✓ Complete flow: buy → monitor → sell at profit ($32 gain) ✅ Guardrails Verification: ✓ 8% max per stock enforced ✓ 25% risky exposure enforced ✓ 10 position limit enforced ✓ Min/max position sizes enforced ✓ All exit conditions triggering correctly ================================================================================ CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS ================================================================================ PORTFOLIO SETTINGS: portfolio_manager.max_position_pct = 0.08 # 8% per stock portfolio_manager.max_risky_pct = 0.25 # 25% risky portfolio_manager.max_positions = 10 # 10 max portfolio_manager.min_position_size = 100.0 # $100 min portfolio_manager.max_position_size = 2000.0 # $2000 max EXIT SETTINGS: exit_strategy.config.profit_target_pct = 5.0 # +5% exit_strategy.config.stop_loss_pct = 2.0 # -2% exit_strategy.config.max_hold_days = 5 # 5 days exit_strategy.config.trailing_stop_pct = 2.0 # 2% exit_strategy.config.min_signal_score = 40.0 # signal < 40 ANALYSIS SETTINGS: selected_analysts = ["market", "social", "news", "fundamentals"] (Choose which analysts contribute to signals) ================================================================================ NEXT STEPS ================================================================================ IMMEDIATE: 1.
