🧭 Chan Compass — US Stocks
Multi-timeframe 缠论 (Chan theory) signal engine for US stocks — monthly → weekly → daily → 60m → 30m → 15m → 5m → 1m nested-interval (区间套) confirmation — plus a sector capital-rotation monitor, a today-only watchlist news desk, a multi-agent research desk, and a fully local llama.cpp brain (Qwen3 GGUF + a published fine-tune, all ≤ 32B parameters, no cloud APIs).
UI design language: Adobe Spectrum 2 (pill buttons, Spectrum blue #0265DC,
Source Sans 3 — Adobe's open font), served from ui_kits/chan-compass/ by
gradio.Server.
Backyard AI — this solves a real problem for real people: my family trades US stocks with a Chan-theory engine whose reasoning is dense Chinese jargon and which had to be run by hand every night. Chan Compass runs it automatically and turns each verdict into a plain-English summary they actually read.

The local sub-agent pool
All language work runs on a pool of small local models through llama.cpp — each sub-agent has its own lock, so features never block one another:
| Sub-agent | Model | Used by |
|---|---|---|
| Interpreter | Chan-Tuned Qwen3-1.7B (my published fine-tune) | Signals → AI Interpret |
| Narrator | Qwen3-1.7B | Sector Rotation narrative |
| Reporter | Qwen3-1.7B | Watchlist News briefs + research support |
| Analyst | Qwen3-4B | Auto Research report writing |
The Interpreter sub-agent uses a fine-tuned Qwen3-1.7B
(ranranrunforit/chan-compass-qwen3-1.7b-gguf, Q8_0), LoRA-trained on
(raw read → English summary) pairs captured from the app's own usage — a small
model doing one focused job well.
Tabs
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| 📈 Signals | Runs the unchanged Chan engine over your ticker pool (pure rule engine, no LLM on this path): next-session BUY / SELL / HOLD / WAIT with an explicit buy point, entry zone, invalidation price, confidence and suggested weight. Pick a ticker for a plain-English raw read, then AI Interpret — the Interpreter sub-agent references the multi-timeframe ruling chain (kept backstage) and writes an English-only interpretation. |
| 🔄 Sector Rotation | Where capital is flowing: 11 SPDR sector ETFs (full S&P 500), flow proxy = change% × dollar volume + relative strength vs SPY, over 1/5/20 days, tables instant + an on-demand AI narrative. |
| 📰 Watchlist News | For each holding, checks today's news only, streaming each ticker / headline / AI brief as it arrives; quiet tickers are grouped. |
| 🧪 Auto Research | Multi-agent: PLAN → 6 evidence tools in parallel (fundamentals, quarterly financials, price action, the Chan engine itself, money-flow proxy, news) → Analyst (4B) streams valuation · tech moat · supply-chain map (with tickers) · bull/bear while the Reporter (1.7B) writes money-flow · Chan timing · risks in parallel. Every run saves a JSON agent trace; new pool tickers get a report auto-generated by the daily pipeline. |
| ⏰ Automation | Daily pipeline at 18:10 America/New_York, with a live Pipeline Log and auto-refreshing trace list. Manual "Run now" too, plus a one-click Publish traces as a Hub dataset button (uses your HF_TOKEN, no command line). |
| 🧠 Model | Live sub-agent status (auto-refresh), one-click self-test, model picker, and a fine-tuning dataset export (download the JSONL the app captured). |
Email any result
Each of the four result tabs has an email box + ✉ Send Email button — send the
current AI result to any address. Delivery uses the Resend HTTPS API (works on
HF Spaces, which block outbound SMTP), with SMTP as an off-HF fallback. Set a Space
secret RESEND_API_KEY to enable it. Both HTML and clean plain-text are rendered
from the markdown, so reports arrive properly formatted.
Data
Yahoo Finance via yfinance: 10y daily (weekly/monthly resampled), 60m (730d),
30m/15m/5m (60d), 1m (7d). Downloads are parallel with a time budget; whatever
isn't fetched in time is skipped and picked up next run. Cached to parquet.
Persistent storage (/data bucket)
With a storage bucket attached, the app keeps everything across restarts:
/data/cache_us market data · /data/output signals + holdings + the last
pipeline results (last_results.json) and last-run time (last_run.txt) ·
/data/reports research reports · /data/traces agent traces · /data/dataset
captured fine-tuning pairs · /data/hf_cache GGUF models · /data/pylibs the
llama.cpp runtime (installed once, persisted).
Results survive restarts and page reloads. When the daily pipeline runs (or
you press Run now), the signals table, sector-rotation tables, and watchlist-news
briefs are written to /data. Open the app later — even after a restart — and it
loads those last results immediately, no recompute. So if the 18:10 ET schedule
ran at 6 pm, opening the page at 7 pm shows the finished results right away.
(Re-running with a different ticker pool in Signals / News / Auto Research
recomputes just that view.)
Fine-tuning kit (🎯 Well-Tuned)
finetune/ contains a ready-to-run Colab notebook and guide: export the captured
(raw read → summary) pairs from the Model tab, LoRA-tune Qwen3-1.7B on a free T4,
convert to GGUF, push to the Hub, and point MODEL_ZOO at it. The published
result is already wired in as the Interpreter sub-agent.
Hackathon track & badges
Track — 🏡 Backyard AI. A real tool for real people: my family's nightly Chan-theory routine, automated and made readable.
Bonus badges this build targets:
🎨 Off Brand — a hand-built React + Spectrum 2 frontend served by
gradio.Server (the app's own HTML/CSS/JS, not the default Gradio component
render). · 🐜 Tiny Titan — the everyday language work (Signals interpret,
rotation narrative, news briefs) all runs on 1.7B models, and the Interpreter
sub-agent is a fine-tuned 1.7B (≤ 4B). · 🤖 Best Agent — the multi-agent
Auto Research desk: PLAN → parallel evidence tools → Analyst + Reporter writing
different sections at once, every step logged. · 🎬 Best Demo — app + demo
video + social posts (links below). · 🏆 Bonus Quest Champion — stacking the
above plus the extras below.
Extra credentials (beyond the current badge list): all inference is local via
llama.cpp, zero cloud APIs; a published fine-tuned model
(ranranrunforit/chan-compass-qwen3-1.7b-gguf) the app actually uses; and each
research run writes a full JSON agent trace, published as a Hub dataset
(ranranrunforit/chan-compass-agent-traces,
one click from the Automation tab); plus a build write-up
(blog post).

Architecture (🎨 Off-Brand)
This is not the default Gradio component UI. server.py builds a
gradio.Server (Gradio's FastAPI-based server) that:
- serves the hand-built React + Spectrum 2 frontend (
ui_kits/chan-compass/) as static files at/, and - exposes the unchanged Python backend as JSON + Server-Sent-Events endpoints
under
/api/*(signals, rotation, news, research, automation, model, email).
So the whole look-and-feel is the app's own HTML/CSS/JS — a real custom frontend —
while still being a Gradio app (gradio.Server) running through llama.cpp.
Deploy on Hugging Face Spaces
- Create a Space → SDK Docker, hardware CPU upgrade (8 vCPU/32GB recommended).
The included
Dockerfilerunsuvicorn server:appon port 7860. - Upload every file in this folder (keep names + the
ui_kits/chan-compass/folder structure unchanged); overwrite-upload as a full set each time. - First launch installs the llama.cpp runtime once (prebuilt CPU wheel, with a
compile fallback) into
/data/pylibs. - Model tab — sub-agents auto-load; watch the live status until each shows ✅.
- Optional secrets:
RESEND_API_KEY(email),HF_TOKEN(faster model downloads- the one-click trace publisher, silences the unauthenticated-Hub warning).
- ⚠️ Free Spaces sleep when idle, so the 18:10 ET timer can't fire unattended —
use "Run now", or pick always-on hardware. Last-run time is persisted to
/data, so it survives restarts.
Design system
UI follows the Adobe Spectrum 2 design system. The live frontend is
served from ui_kits/chan-compass/ by gradio.Server; the source
tokens/components are under design_system/ for reference.
