How FiClaw organizes a reviewable quant research process

This page explains FiClaw's working boundaries: AI can raise research efficiency, but every backtest, parameter optimization and strategy conclusion should be reviewable by the team.

From a strategy idea to a structured spec

FiClaw first breaks the natural-language description into universe, factors, signals, rebalancing, risk control and parameter constraints, rather than generating hard-to-review code snippets directly.

Generated code must enter backtest validation

Strategy code only has research value once it passes a historical backtest and metric review. FiClaw keeps code generation, backtest submission and result diagnosis in one flow.

Parameter optimization targets robustness, not a single-point best

Parameter search watches return, drawdown, Sharpe, win rate, turnover and neighborhood stability together, avoiding chasing the highest return of a single backtest.

Key conclusions need human review

FiClaw output is for research evaluation and team review. It is not investment advice and does not replace risk approval or pre-live validation.

Risk Boundary

Risk and boundaries

  • Historical backtests do not promise returns and cannot guarantee future performance.
  • Model-generated code, diagnosis and parameter suggestions may contain errors or omissions.
  • Before going live, a strategy should pass out-of-sample validation, transaction-cost sensitivity analysis and human risk review.
  • Actions involving trade execution, funds or client assets should not be automated directly by AI.
