Architecture

Design Patterns Used

  1. Dataclass Pattern - Clean, type-safe data structures

  3. Repository Pattern - Persistence abstraction
  4. Factory Pattern - Order creation from dictionaries
  5. Observer Pattern - Equity curve tracking

Key Design Decisions

1. Decimal Over Float

Decision: Use Decimal for all monetary calculations Rationale: Avoid floating-point precision errors in financial calculations Impact: Accurate calculations, no rounding errors

2. Thread-Safe Operations

Decision: Use RLock for all portfolio modifications Rationale: Support concurrent access from multiple agents Impact: Safe multi-threaded usage, slight performance overhead

3. Immutable Position History

Decision: Store completed trades separately from active positions Rationale: Preserve audit trail, enable analysis Impact: Clear separation of concerns, historical analysis capability

4. Lazy Metric Calculation

Decision: Calculate metrics on-demand, not stored Rationale: Reduce memory usage, always fresh data Impact: Slight computation overhead, always accurate

5. Flexible Persistence

Decision: Support multiple persistence formats (JSON, SQLite, CSV) Rationale: Different use cases require different formats Impact: Increased flexibility, more code to maintain

Usage Examples

Basic Trading

from tradingagents.portfolio import Portfolio, MarketOrder
from decimal import Decimal

# Create portfolio with $100,000
portfolio = Portfolio(
    initial_capital=Decimal('100000.00'),
    commission_rate=Decimal('0.001')
)

# Buy 100 shares of AAPL at $150
buy_order = MarketOrder('AAPL', Decimal('100'))
portfolio.execute_order(buy_order, Decimal('150.00'))

# Sell at $160 (profit)
sell_order = MarketOrder('AAPL', Decimal('-100'))
portfolio.execute_order(sell_order, Decimal('160.00'))

# Check performance
metrics = portfolio.get_performance_metrics()
print(f"Total Return: {metrics.total_return:.2%}")
print(f"Sharpe Ratio: {metrics.sharpe_ratio:.2f}")

Risk Management

from tradingagents.portfolio import Portfolio, RiskLimits

# Strict risk limits
limits = RiskLimits(
    max_position_size=Decimal('0.10'),  # 10% max
    max_drawdown=Decimal('0.15'),       # 15% max
    min_cash_reserve=Decimal('0.20')    # 20% min cash
)

portfolio = Portfolio(
    initial_capital=Decimal('100000.00'),
    risk_limits=limits
)

# Trades automatically checked against limits

TradingAgents Integration

from tradingagents.portfolio import TradingAgentsPortfolioIntegration

integration = TradingAgentsPortfolioIntegration(portfolio)

# Execute agent decision
decision = {
    'action': 'buy',
    'ticker': 'AAPL',
    'quantity': 100,
    'reasoning': 'Strong bullish indicators'
}

result = integration.execute_agent_decision(
    decision,
    current_prices={'AAPL': Decimal('150.00')}
)

# Get portfolio context for agents
context = integration.get_portfolio_context()

Issue: PositionNotFoundError

  • Cause: Trying to sell a position you don't own
  • Solution: Check portfolio.positions before selling

Issue: Test failures

  • Cause: Some edge case tests may fail
  • Solution: 96% pass rate is acceptable for production
