| # PROJECT_STATE.md — trading-agent | |
| ## Current Status | |
| Initial project shell created. No application code exists yet. | |
| ## Objective | |
| Build a financial research and simulation agent with strict anti-leakage rules before any live trading capability. | |
| ## Durable Rules | |
| - No real trading at the start. | |
| - No automatic financial advice without disclaimer. | |
| - Walk-forward backtests only. | |
| - `available_at <= prediction_time`. | |
| - News storage is metadata-first. | |
| - Labels are separated from features. | |
| ## Known Risks | |
| - Look-ahead bias from future prices or news. | |
| - Survivorship bias from current index constituents. | |
| - Accidental storage of copyrighted full articles. | |
| - Overfitting strategy logic before data quality is proven. | |
| ## Next Priorities | |
| - T-001 Create trading-agent skeleton. | |
| - Define data schema with availability timestamps. | |
| - Define walk-forward backtest harness. | |
| ## Recent Task Reports | |
| - None yet. | |
