# AI Hedge Fund
This is a proof of concept for an AI-powered hedge fund. The goal of this project is to explore the use of AI to make trading decisions. This project is for **educational** purposes only and is not intended for real trading or investment.
Note: the system does not actually make any trades.

## How to Install
```bash
pipx install aihf
```
(or `uv tool install aihf`, or `pip install aihf` into an environment of your choice)
Then run it from anywhere:
```bash
aihf
```
### API keys
The app asks for keys the first time it needs them and saves them to `~/.hedge-fund/.env` — nothing to configure up front. It needs:
- A [Financial Datasets](https://financialdatasets.ai) API key, for prices, fundamentals, and earnings.
- One model API key for the investor agents. Supported providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, xAI, Kimi, TypeSafe (Jev).
Keys exported in your shell always win over the saved file.
## How to Run
### Interactive app
```bash
aihf
```
With no arguments, this launches the interactive terminal app. It has two modes:
- **Paper trading** — your funds, each with a ledger of real market days and fake money. Highlight a fund to see what its next run will do; press enter to run it through the next completed session (an approval step shows the exact decision about to execute before anything trades), `s` for its full session history, `h`/`r` for the kill switch. Build a new fund from the same list: strategies, capital, cadence, tickers, and it is live. Every session is appended to a hash-chained ledger in `~/.hedge-fund/paper//`, so NAV is a track record, not a reset.
- **Backtesting** — replay a fund over history and watch its equity curve draw against its benchmark. Results are saved to `~/.hedge-fund/research/`. Fund definitions live in `~/.hedge-fund/mandates/` and carry no tickers; you pick the universe per backtest.
## Development
