Progress Report
Project: Automation Architecture for a Quantitative Strategy Factory (StrategyQuant X)
Status: In-progress, core system pipeline validated
Completed so far
1. Environment Setup
o Structured project (hub/, agents/, dashboard/, share/ folders).
o Installed dependencies (Prefect, FastAPI, Streamlit, SQLAlchemy, etc.).
o Configured .env, YAML samples, and centralized share/ for commands,
results, logs.
2. Database & State Management
o SQLite state DB implemented (hub/state_db.py).
o Tracks runs, tasks, logs, and run summaries.
3. Agent System
o Built Spoke Agents (FastAPI) that accept jobs from Hub.
o Supports two modes:
▪ shell: dev/test with ping
▪ sqx: runs sqcli.exe -run file=...
o Verified multi-agent setup (pc1, pc2) working in parallel.
4. Hub Orchestration
o Prefect flow implemented (hub/prefect_flow.py).
o Creates runs, dispatches jobs to agents, monitors, and collects results.
o Tested successfully with “ping” jobs: dispatching to multiple agents, DB and
logs updated.
5. SQX Integration
o Installed StrategyQuantX 142 locally.
o End-to-end pipeline tested with sqcli.exe calling a minimal “exit” script.
o Confirmed job acceptance and SQX CLI invocation → stopped due to missing
license.
Remaining Work
1. License / Activation
o SQX CLI cannot execute builder/retest projects without activation.
o Need either:
▪ StrategyQuant account credentials, or
▪ A valid license key to activate on development/test machines, or
▪ Plan to run final deployment only on client’s licensed PCs.
2. Builder Command Generator
o Generate .txt command scripts from YAML (projects, versions, exits, MT
engines, etc.).
o Automate creation of multiple variants for Builder phase.
3. Retest 1 & Retest 2
o Implement CLI scripts for cross-checking & tick data retest.
o Dispatch across agents; consolidate surviving strategies.
4. Dashboard (Streamlit)
o UI for config, monitoring, logs, results.
5. Packaging & Deployment
o Documentation, install scripts, and client-ready deployment.
