Cognitive Alpha Trading Intelligence

A fully autonomous quantitative trading system that ingests real-time data from 10 domains, processes 170+ signals through 41 specialized engines, validates trades through adversarial AI debate, and evolves its own parameters — all without human intervention.

Cognitive Architecture

Five stages. One conviction score.

Every trade passes through a rigorous cognitive pipeline — from raw data ingestion to ARCHIMEDES-optimized execution.

01

Ingest

Real-time data from Alpaca, Tradier, Sharadar, Quiver, FRED, Dune, Nixtla TimeGPT, and more. 10 independent data domains feed the Redis SSOT.

10 Data Domains
02

Analyze

41 engines across 5 tiers — Hunters, Aether, Managers, Shields, Reasoning — evaluate every asset through microstructure, fundamentals, sentiment, and AI forecasting.

41 Engines · 5 Tiers
03

Synthesize

The Alpha Engine fuses signals from 12 families into a conviction score (0–100) via sigmoid normalization. 3-family convergence mandate prevents hollow alpha.

12 Families · Sigmoid Normalization
04

Validate

High-conviction trades face the Synthesis Gate — an adversarial AI debate council (Bull vs. Bear). Can VETO, BOOST, or CLEAR. VPIN Flash Breaker halts execution instantly.

Adversarial Debate · 38 UCE Scanners
05

Execute

ARCHIMEDES applies NCO + Entropy Pooling with walk-forward validation. Project CROSSING enables zero-cost internal dark pool transfers. Sub-100ms order execution via Alpaca.

What makes ALTAIR different.

Not just another trading bot. A cognitive system with adversarial validation, self-evolution, and industrial-grade resilience.

🔬

Aether: Microstructure AI

VPIN toxicity arbitrage with dynamic p95 thresholds, TimeGPT AI forecasting foundation model, and autonomous LLM-driven hypothesis discovery via zero-code JSON architecture.

🎯

ARCHIMEDES Optimizer

Black-Litterman + Nested Clustered Optimization with Entropy Pooling for conviction integration. Walk-forward cross-validation prevents overfitting. Kelly CVaR constraints.

⚖️

Adversarial Debate Council

Every high-conviction trade is reviewed by Bull and Bear advocates. The council issues VETO (blocking), BOOST (1.25×), or CLEAR — ensuring no dangerous trade passes unchallenged.

🧬

Darwin Self-Evolution

Weekly genetic optimization of execution parameters and alpha signal weights within bounded ±30% deltas. Nightly Factor Lab, MetaLabeler calibration, and Reflexion self-analysis.

🛡️

Multi-Family Conviction Gate

Every equity trade requires convergence from 3+ independent signal families. Crypto requires 2-family. Mathematically prevents hollow alpha — no single-domain trades.

🌐

Project CROSSING

Internal dark pool for zero-cost position transfers between strategies. When seller and buyer theses align, positions transfer without market impact. JIT-RFQ matching engine.

📰

Cassandra: Narrative AI

HDBSCAN news clustering with Source Entropy gating and Hawkes temporal decay. Detects narrative momentum inflection points before price action confirms regime shifts.

✔️

38-Scanner Compliance

Universal Compliance Engine with 38 automated scanners: syntax verification, signal pipeline connectivity, Redis key discipline, SSOT bypass detection, and deployment integrity.

Risk Architecture

12 circuit breakers.
Zero compromise.

Multiple defensive layers ensure no catastrophic trade ever reaches the market.

CRITICAL

Meltdown Breaker

Hard veto on any crypto asset with 24h price drop exceeding 20%. Weight: -999.

CRITICAL

VPIN Flash Breaker

3 consecutive VPIN bars exceeding 0.8 imbalance triggers instant -999 halt.

CRITICAL

Swarm Security

AST whitelist walker blocks all unsafe operations. Default-deny: only numexpr VM permitted.

CRITICAL

Toxic Asset Veto

Unrealized loss >5% + conviction <0.8 → alpha forced to 0.0 → immediate exit.

SIZING

MVO Governor

Kelly criterion caps at 10% per asset with regime-conditional scaling.

SIZING

Coverage Penalty

3-family convergence mandate. Failing assets capped at HOLD (score 50).

SIZING

Entropy Safety Valve

N_eff below threshold → revert to empirical prior instead of equal-weight.

SIZING

Anti-Churn Gate

Unified position lifecycle debounce prevents re-entry churn after exits.

MONITOR

VIX Hysteresis

126-day percentile bands with hysteresis prevent regime whipsaw transitions.

MONITOR

L1 Debounce

Signal emission rate-limited to one per symbol/direction per 15 seconds.

MONITOR

Dollar Bar Guard

Imbalance velocity surge triggers defensive sizing for affected symbols.

CRITICAL

UCE Compliance Gate

38 automated scanners. BLOCK-mode prevents deployment on any violation.

Alpha Engine v2.0

From 170+ signals to one conviction score.

Conviction-weighted, volatility-adjusted position sizing with regime-conditional scaling — calibrated nightly by the Darwin evolution engine.
