Nous Ergon — Alpha Engine

Intelligence at work

An experimentation harness for systematic equity strategies.

Multi-agent research, ML prediction, risk-gated execution, weekly self-tuning — instrumented end-to-end[1].

First experiment: alpha capture against the S&P 500.

Multi-agent orchestration

Six sector teams, a portfolio decision agent, and a macro layer on LangGraph + Claude. Structured outputs, LLM-as-judge.

Machine-learning overlay

Stacked ensemble of gradient-boosted and linear models. 21-day market-relative return predictions with confidence-driven veto.

Self-improvement loop

Weekly evaluation writes optimized parameters back to four S3 configs. Downstream modules read them on cold-start.

End-to-end measurement

Every signal, prediction, fill, and dollar of P&L instrumented and traceable. The console is a view, not a measurement layer.

Current phase

Every aspect of the system reliable and measurable, so Phase 3 can evaluate decisions on data, not vibes.

Phase 1 · Completeness
  • Six modules wired end-to-end via S3 — research, prediction, execution, evaluation, data, dashboard.
  • Multi-agent research, stacked meta-ensemble, risk-gated executor, autonomous backtester.
  • Three Step Functions running unattended (Saturday weekly + weekday morning + EOD).
Phase 2 · Reliability + Measurability
  • Step Functions reliable end-to-end with drift detection and runtime trend alarms.
  • Every decision point measurable — agent calls, predictor verdicts, fills, P&L attribution, risk events.
  • Autonomous feedback loop — backtester writing four optimized configs to S3 weekly.
Phase 3 · Performance (paper)
  • Operates the autonomous feedback loop on a Phase-2-trustworthy substrate.
  • Broader feature breadth in inference (current 21 features → ~50-feature ArcticDB store).
  • Gated on ≥99% SF success rate over 8 weeks + transparency-inventory complete.
Phase 4 · Performance (live)
  • Paper → live capital with progressive sizing.
  • Portfolio-level risk overlays beyond per-position gates.
  • Gated on sustained positive alpha vs SPY over a 12-week Phase 3 window.
