VibeTrading Code Generator

Generate executable Hyperliquid trading strategy code from natural language prompts. This skill transforms trading ideas into ready-to-run Python code using actual Hyperliquid API implementations. Generated code includes complete API integration, error handling, logging, and configuration management.

Quick Start

Basic Usage

# Generate a simple RSI strategy
python scripts/strategy_generator.py "Generate a BTC RSI strategy, buy below 30, sell above 70"

# Generate a grid trading strategy
python scripts/strategy_generator.py "BTC grid trading 50000-60000 10 grids 0.01 BTC per grid"

# Generate a signal-following strategy
python scripts/strategy_generator.py "ETH trading strategy based on VibeTrading signals, buy on bullish signals, sell on bearish signals"

Output Structure

The generator creates:

1. Strategy Python file - Complete trading strategy class
2. Configuration file - Strategy parameters and settings
3. Usage instructions - How to run and monitor the strategy
4. Requirements file - Python dependencies

Code Validation System

Automatic Code Validation

All generated code is automatically validated and fixed using the built-in validation system:

# Validate generated code
python scripts/code_validator.py generated_strategy.py

# Validate and fix automatically
python scripts/code_validator.py generated_strategy.py --fix

# Validate entire directory
python scripts/code_validator.py strategy_directory/

Validation Steps

The validation system performs these checks:

1. Syntax Validation - Python syntax checking
2. Import Validation - Module import verification
3. Compatibility Checks - Python 3.5+ compatibility
4. Common Issue Detection - Missing imports, encoding issues, etc.

Automatic Fixes

When validation fails, the system automatically fixes common issues:

1. Add missing imports - Add typing imports if type annotations are used
2. Fix encoding declaration - Add # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- if missing
3. Remove incompatible syntax - Remove f-strings and type annotations for Python 3.5 compatibility
4. Fix import paths - Add sys.path modifications for API wrappers
5. Fix logger initialization order - Ensure logger is initialized before API client
6. Remove pathlib usage - Replace with os.path for Python 3.4 compatibility
7. Fix string formatting - Convert f-strings to .format() method

Validation Configuration

The validation system can be configured via command-line arguments:

# Basic validation
python scripts/code_validator.py strategy.py

# Validate and fix automatically
python scripts/code_validator.py strategy.py --fix

# Use specific Python executable
python scripts/code_validator.py strategy.py --python python3.6

# Validate directory with all files
python scripts/code_validator.py strategies/ --fix

# Maximum 5 fix iterations
python scripts/code_validator.py strategy.py --fix --max-iterations 5

Validation Rules

The system enforces these rules for generated code:

1. Python 3.5+ Compatibility

   • No f-strings (use .format() or % formatting)
   • No type annotations (remove or use comments)
   • No pathlib (use os.path instead)
   • No typing module imports

2. Code Quality

   • Proper encoding declaration (# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-)
   • Logger initialized before API client
   • All imports are resolvable
   • No syntax errors

3. Security

   • API keys loaded from environment variables
   • No hardcoded credentials
   • Proper error handling for API calls

4. Performance

   • Reasonable check intervals (not too frequent)
   • Efficient data fetching
   • Proper resource cleanup

Validation Workflow

User Prompt → Code Generation → Validation → Fixes → Final Code
                    ↓
              If validation fails
                    ↓
            Apply automatic fixes
                    ↓
          Re-validate until success
                    ↓
          Deliver validated code

Validation Failure Handling

When validation fails, the system automatically updates the code with these steps:

1. Error Analysis - Identify the specific validation errors
2. Fix Application - Apply appropriate fixes based on error type
3. Re-validation - Validate again after fixes
4. Iterative Repair - Repeat until code is valid (max 3 iterations)
5. Fallback Strategy - If automatic fixes fail, provide detailed error report and manual fix instructions

Automatic Fix Examples

Fix 1: Missing Imports

# Before (error: NameError: name 'List' is not defined)
def calculate_prices(prices: List[float]) -> List[float]:

# After (automatic fix)
from typing import List, Dict, Optional
def calculate_prices(prices):

Fix 2: Encoding Issues

# Before (error: SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character)
# Strategy description: Grid trading

# After (automatic fix)
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Strategy description: Grid trading

Fix 3: Python 3.5 Incompatibility

# Before (error: SyntaxError in Python 3.5)
price = f"Current price: {current_price}"

# After (automatic fix)
price = "Current price: {}".format(current_price)

Fix 4: Import Path Issues

# Before (error: ImportError: No module named 'hyperliquid_api')
from hyperliquid_api import HyperliquidClient

# After (automatic fix)
import sys
import os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "..", "api_wrappers"))
from hyperliquid_api import HyperliquidClient

Backtest Data Sources

The backtesting system uses:

• Historical price data from Hyperliquid API
• Realistic order execution with configurable slippage
• Accurate commission modeling based on exchange fees
• Market impact simulation for large orders

Backtest Limitations

Important Notes:

1. Past performance ≠ future results - Historical success doesn't guarantee future profits
2. Data quality - Results depend on historical data accuracy
3. Market conditions - Past market conditions may differ from future
4. Execution assumptions - Assumes perfect order execution (configurable slippage)
5. Liquidity assumptions - Assumes sufficient market liquidity

Best Practices:

1. Always backtest with multiple time periods
2. Test different market conditions (bull, bear, sideways)
3. Use realistic commission and slippage settings
4. Start with small position sizes in live trading
5. Monitor strategy performance and adjust as needed

Code Validation Disclaimer

Validation Limitations: While the code validation system automatically fixes common issues, it cannot guarantee:

1. Trading logic correctness - Validation checks syntax, not trading logic
2. Financial performance - No guarantee of profitability
3. API compatibility - Hyperliquid API changes may break generated code
4. Security vulnerabilities - Manual security review is recommended
5. Edge case handling - All possible error conditions may not be covered

Validation Success Criteria: Code is considered "valid" when:

1. No syntax errors
2. All imports are resolvable
3. Python 3.6+ compatible
4. Basic structure is correct

Not Validated:

• Trading logic accuracy
• Risk management effectiveness
• Financial calculations
• Market condition handling
• Performance optimization

Trading Disclaimer

Important: Trading cryptocurrencies involves significant risk. Generated strategies should be thoroughly tested before use with real funds. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management and never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

The code generator provides tools for strategy creation, but ultimate responsibility for trading decisions and risk management lies with the user.

Validation is not a substitute for:

1. Thorough testing - Always test in simulation first
2. Code review - Have experienced developers review generated code
3. Security audit - Check for vulnerabilities before deployment
4. Performance testing - Test under various market conditions
5. Risk assessment - Evaluate strategy risks independently

Backtesting Limitations:

1. Historical data quality - Results depend on data accuracy
2. Market condition changes - Past conditions may differ from future
3. Execution assumptions - Assumes perfect order execution
4. Liquidity assumptions - Assumes sufficient market liquidity
5. No guarantee of future performance - Past success ≠ future profits
