Algo trading research with Google’s Antigravity and Gemini 3 — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Not only Google just released a Gemini 3
2. 0:02model, they also released an agentic
3. 0:04IDE. And even though there's no way I'm
4. 0:06going to get used to that name, I'm
5. 0:08actually super excited about this thing
6. 0:09because it's not just for coding, it can
7. 0:11also control the browser for you. And
8. 0:14yes, at this point Cursor does that too,
9. 0:16but this one actually does it better.
10. 0:17The other thing is that if you want to
11. 0:19use so many tokens in your Cursor IDE,
12. 0:21you're going to have to pay up to $200
13. 0:23per month, but this one is completely
14. 0:26free, at least for the [music] time
15. 0:27being. However, in this video, I want to
16. 0:29show you how it up specifically for algo
17. 0:31trading so that it can do research for
18. 0:33us, to write a strategies, to modify
19. 0:35them, to even run them, and look at the
20. 0:37results, and maybe try different
21. 0:39combinations of indicators or things
22. 0:41like that, and find us the best
23. 0:43combination. So, I couldn't be more
24. 0:44excited about it, so let's get right
25. 0:46into it. So, once you install
26. 0:47Anti-Gravity, you're going to get this
27. 0:49interface. Now, it took me a while to
28. 0:51import my settings from Cursor. For some
29. 0:53reason, my shortcuts weren't working, at
30. 0:56least some of them, and I had to
31. 0:57manually change them. So, that was a
32. 0:58little bit annoying, but it is
33. 1:00definitely worth it. Now, once you're
34. 1:02done, you will get a typical agentic
35. 1:04IDE, right? But, here's the part that
36. 1:06you need to pay attention. To ensure we
37. 1:08can use this thing for algo trading,
38. 1:11we're going to have to feed the model
39. 1:12some instructions. If you remember this
40. 1:15video, which I made like 6 months ago,
41. 1:17in it I explained how to feed the custom
42. 1:19instructions into any kind of LLM model
43. 1:22so it can give you output specifically
44. 1:24for algo trading in Python with the
45. 1:25Jesse framework, of course. But now, my
46. 1:27goal is to be able to tell the IDE to,
47. 1:30"Hey, write this a strategy for me." And
48. 1:32it should do it exactly there, so I
49. 1:34won't have to copy and paste code
50. 1:35anymore, and hopefully it should even be
51. 1:37able to run the browser for me, and
52. 1:40maybe execute the backtest for me, or
53. 1:42look into the results. Now, in that
54. 1:44video, I open-sourced the instructions.
55. 1:46Now, here's the repository, and I'm
56. 1:47going to post the link of it in the
57. 1:49description of the video. Now, this is
58. 1:51the file that you need, instructions.md.
59. 1:53So, let's open it and copy the whole
60. 1:55thing. Then, inside your IDE, create a
61. 1:57new file called agents.md, and in it
62. 2:00simply paste everything. Now, by the
63. 2:01way, this is a new Jesse project, and in
64. 2:03case you forgot how to generate a new
65. 2:04Jesse project, just go to the
66. 2:06documentation, this page, and this is
67. 2:08the command. So, just copy this, and it
68. 2:10will generate a new Jesse project for
69. 2:11you. Then, you also need to copy the
70. 2:13.env file, which I did, and that's it.
71. 2:15Now, to run this project, all I need to
72. 2:17do is to say Jesse run. Now, of course,
73. 2:19you need to ensure you are running the
74. 2:21correct conda environment so that it
75. 2:23should have the correct Python version
76. 2:24for you. So, let's do this.
77. 2:26There we go. It's running it at this
78. 2:28URL. For you, this will probably be
79. 2:309,000. I have changed the default port.
80. 2:33So, let's just copy this and open it
81. 2:35inside our Chrome browser. Now, the
82. 2:36default password is test. There we go.
83. 2:38So, let's go to the strategies section.
84. 2:40Now, here we have the option to import
85. 2:42one of the existing strategies from
86. 2:43Jesse's community, or we can create a
87. 2:45new one. So, let's create a new one, and
88. 2:47I'm going to name it test one. All
89. 2:49right, so this is the boilerplate that
90. 2:51we get when generating a new strategy.
91. 2:53But, instead of coding it here, I'm
92. 2:54going to open Anti-Gravity, and let's
93. 2:57open it here. All right, so I can close
94. 2:59this now. Now, here we have the option
95. 3:02of planning and fast. For these tests,
96. 3:04I'm using the fast option, and for the
97. 3:06model, this is the most intelligent
98. 3:08model right now, Gemini 3 Pro High. But,
99. 3:11I'm setting it on low because I found it
100. 3:13to be good enough for these type of
101. 3:14tasks, and it is significantly faster.
102. 3:16But, if there is a point that it is not
103. 3:18doing what you need, then set it to
104. 3:20high. It also gives us unlimited access
105. 3:22to Claude Sonnet 4.5, which is
106. 3:24absolutely amazing, and I did test it,
107. 3:26and it works great. But, let's go with
108. 3:27Gemini 3 Pro for this test. All right,
109. 3:29so let's keep it simple. Write a golden
110. 3:31cross strategy. But, to make sure that
111. 3:33it knows we want to edit this file, I'm
112. 3:35going to attach this file. Let's hit
113. 3:37enter.
114. 3:43There we go. So, it defined a short
115. 3:44moving average with a period of 50,
116. 3:46another one with 200, and here it is
117. 3:48ensuring that a crossover is happening.
118. 3:50Now, this isn't how I usually write a
119. 3:53golden cross. I just keep it simple
120. 3:54without the sequential true so that we
121. 3:56don't have to select the last item. But,
122. 3:58this should work just fine as well, and
123. 4:00it also defined the position sizing, and
124. 4:02everything looks fine. It's also saying
125. 4:05that once those positions are no longer
126. 4:07valid, you should liquidate the current
127. 4:08position. So, this is perfect. Good.
128. 4:10Let's accept it, and let's open the
129. 4:12dashboard again, go to the backtest
130. 4:14page. Let's change this test one
131. 4:17strategy, choose the 15-minute time
132. 4:19frame. BTCUSDT is fine, and the Binance
133. 4:22Perpetual Futures exchange is also fine.
134. 4:25This period is is also fine for this
135. 4:26test. Let's enable the fast mode, and
136. 4:29let's give it a go.
137. 4:31And there we go. So, it runs perfectly
138. 4:33fine. It made 22% max drawdown of minus
139. 4:3711 in the period of 2 months, and a
140. 4:39sharp ratio of three. So, of course, we
141. 4:42are cherry-picking the period here, but
142. 4:43it seems to be working really well. So,
143. 4:45next, I want to see if the model is
144. 4:47smart enough to add some kind of filter
145. 4:48based on the condition that I am
146. 4:50describing to it. The strategy is good,
147. 4:52but it is taking too many trades. Can
148. 4:54you define some kind of filter for it to
149. 4:56not take trades in ranging markets?
150. 5:00Let's see how it does. Now, one issue
151. 5:03that I'm facing with this editor is that
152. 5:05I find it to be a little bit slow, like
153. 5:07with the AI tasks, and maybe this is
154. 5:09because they launched it just yesterday,
155. 5:12and they are definitely under heavy
156. 5:13traffic, especially because it is
157. 5:14completely free right now. But, overall,
158. 5:16I found Cursor to be faster. Now, by the
159. 5:18way, you can definitely use Cursor to do
160. 5:20exactly the things that I'm doing in
161. 5:21this video, but it won't be free, and
162. 5:24also, for the last part where I I'm
163. 5:25going to ask the IDE to control the
164. 5:28browser, I don't think Cursor can do it
165. 5:30as good as this one. All right, so it
166. 5:31defined an ADX indicator. This is the
167. 5:34correct syntax. Yes, it is, and in the
168. 5:38should long method, it is adding this
169. 5:40condition now. So, this seems perfectly
170. 5:43correct. So, let's accept it, go back to
171. 5:45the dashboard, and rerun it one more
172. 5:47time.
173. 5:48And yeah, it works. All right, so it
174. 5:50works, but it made the results worse,
175. 5:52right? So, here's the next part that I
176. 5:54wanted to do. So, let's go back and
177. 5:57actually return the code to what it was,
178. 5:59but this time reject it, and let's open
179. 6:02a new conversation entirely. Just give
180. 6:04it this one one more time. Now, I want
181. 6:06to see if it's able to add a new
182. 6:08condition, test it with the browser all
183. 6:10by itself, and if it's not better, which
184. 6:13it wasn't in this case, it needs to be
185. 6:15smart enough to roll back the previous
186. 6:17code and tell me about it. So, in other
187. 6:19words, I want to see if this thing is
188. 6:20actually able to do research for us. So,
189. 6:22maybe I want to keep running it for 20
190. 6:25or 30 minutes, right? So, keep trying
191. 6:27different combinations of indicators and
192. 6:28things like that. So, we're going to
193. 6:30give it a simple test. If it passes this
194. 6:32one, I'm pretty sure it can also do
195. 6:35bigger things. So, this is the last
196. 6:36thing I needed to work. The strategy is
197. 6:39good, but it is taking too many trades.
198. 6:40I need you to add an ADX filter, and
199. 6:43then open the browser and run the
200. 6:45backtest. If it improved the results,
201. 6:47keep it. If it didn't, remove it.
202. 6:50Now, we also need to tell it what's the
203. 6:52URL of the dashboard, right? So, let's
204. 6:55say the URL is Let's open Jesse. Give it
205. 6:58this exact URL, but also we can restart
206. 7:02a new session. Let's go back and paste
207. 7:04the URL. Now, before I hit enter, I got
208. 7:07to say that the first time that you do
209. 7:08this, it's going to ask you to set up
210. 7:10some kind of extension, and you should
211. 7:12allow it to do that. Now, I already did,
212. 7:14that's why it says remove from Chrome
213. 7:15now. Now, the other thing is that
214. 7:17sometimes when it opens the dashboard,
215. 7:18it needs the password, right? So, let's
216. 7:20also give it that. The password,
217. 7:23if needed,
218. 7:24is
219. 7:26test.
220. 7:29All right, so it's starting working, and
221. 7:31it is starting to navigate inside the
222. 7:34browser. I'm going to say always allow
223. 7:37so that it can always open the browser
224. 7:39automatically, and let's open the
225. 7:41browser. There we go. So, you see, it is
226. 7:44seeing the password page now.
227. 7:47It entered the password.
228. 7:49Let's give it some help here.
229. 7:52Now, I'm going to fast-forward the video
230. 7:54a little bit because it can be slow
231. 7:56sometimes.
232. 7:57All right, so it reran the strategy.
233. 8:02Let's go back to the IDE, see what it's
234. 8:03saying.
235. 8:05So, the backtest is running.
236. 8:09Change the code.
237. 8:13All right, so it just implemented the
238. 8:14ADX. Let's see what it does now. Now, by
239. 8:17the way, whenever there's this blue
240. 8:19color here, we can know that the agent
241. 8:21is controlling the browser. So, that's
242. 8:23pretty helpful.
243. 8:24It clicked on the rerun button. It's
244. 8:27seeing the new results now. So, let's go
245. 8:29back to the IDE.
246. 8:33The ADX filter reduced the number of
247. 8:35trades from 38 to 14, but it also
248. 8:37significantly worsened the net profit
249. 8:39from 22% to minus 4%. Based on the
250. 8:42instruction, "If it improved the result,
251. 8:45keep it. If not, remove it. I should
252. 8:47remove the ADX filter. I will now revert
253. 8:49changes made to the file." It says,
254. 8:51"I've completed task. Here's the summary
255. 8:53of the experiments. Baseline backtest,
256. 8:55here's the result. With ADX filter,
257. 8:57here's here's result. Although the ADX
258. 8:59filter successfully reduced the number
259. 9:01of trades, it significantly hurt the
260. 9:02profitability, turning it negative. As
261. 9:05per your instructions, to only keep it
262. 9:07to improve results, I have reverted the
263. 9:09changes to whatever it was." So, this is
264. 9:12fantastic. There we have our answer.
265. 9:14Yes, this thing can do research. Now, I
266. 9:16know it took a while to finish the task
267. 9:18for now, but imagine that you write this
268. 9:21thing at night, you let it run, and then
269. 9:24you go to bed. You wake up tomorrow, and
270. 9:26it has tested maybe 100 different
271. 9:29conditions for you. And right now, all
272. 9:31of this is completely for free, so it
273. 9:34couldn't get any better. Now, there's a
274. 9:36lot more we can do with it. If you like
275. 9:37this video, please let me know in the
276. 9:38comments, and let me know if there's any
277. 9:40kind of experiments you want me to do
278. 9:41with it, and maybe record another video
279. 9:43about it. Now, we are going to have a
280. 9:45giveaway. A random person who likes this
281. 9:46video, posts a comment, and subscribes
282. 9:48to the channel is going to win 1 million
283. 9:50bong token. All right, let's pick the
284. 9:51winner for the previous video.
285. 9:56And the winner is, Jesse. Thanks. Could
286. 9:58you make this strategy for hard FX
287. 10:00pairs? Now, my name isn't Jesse, it's
288. 10:01Solo, by the way. Thank you so much for
289. 10:03your comment. Please reach out to me so
290. 10:04I can send you your bank tokens. Thank
291. 10:06you so much for watching. I'll see you
292. 10:08in the next one.
