# RLAIF Trading Pipeline



A production-ready **Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF)** system for stock prediction that combines foundation models, multi-agent Claude LLM analysis, and deep reinforcement learning.



## Overview



This system implements the frontier of AI-driven stock prediction by integrating:



- **Foundation Models**: TimesFM 2.5 / TTM for time series prediction

- **Multi-Agent LLM**: Claude-powered specialized analysts (fundamental, sentiment, technical, risk)

- **RAG System**: FAISS-based retrieval for financial documents

- **Deep RL**: TD3/SAC ensemble for tactical execution

- **RLAIF Loop**: Market-outcome-based feedback to fine-tune LLM analysis

- **Production Deployment**: RunPod Serverless with comprehensive monitoring



**Target Performance** (based on Trading-R1 benchmarks):

- 8%+ cumulative returns

- 2.5-3.0 Sharpe ratio

- 65-70% hit rate

- <20% maximum drawdown



## Architecture



See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for detailed system design.

- 25-50% improvement over baselines

- Uncertainty quantification

- Multi-timeframe predictions



### 2. Multi-Agent LLM System



Specialized Claude agents with RAG:

- **FundamentalAnalyst**: Financial statements, growth metrics

- **SentimentAnalyst**: News, social media, earnings calls

### 4. RLAIF Feedback Loop



Learn from actual market outcomes:

1. Collect trading episodes with LLM reasoning

2. Generate preference pairs based on P&L

3. Train reward model on outcomes

4. Fine-tune Claude via PPO/DPO

5. Improved analysis quality → Better predictions



### 5. Rigorous Backtesting

- Purged cross-validation (no label leakage)

- Realistic transaction costs (0.1-0.5% per trade)

- Multiple market regimes (bull, bear, volatile)

- Comprehensive metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, CVaR)



### 6. Production Deployment



- Docker containers (<5GB target)

- RunPod Serverless (T4/A100 GPUs)

- FastAPI with authentication

- Comprehensive monitoring (Evidently AI, Grafana)

- Drift detection and alerting
