Gemini 3.5 + MCP = Algo Trading on Autopilot! — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Google just released Antigravity 2.0 and
2. 0:03Gemini 2.5 flash model. And according to
3. 0:05the benchmarks, it is blowing everyone's
4. 0:08mind. Because even though it's a lot
5. 0:09cheaper than expensive models such as
6. 0:11Claude Sonnet or Opus, it's ahead in
7. 0:13most of the benchmarks. But what I care
8. 0:15is if I can use this model and this IDE,
9. 0:18which is giving me free access to this
10. 0:20model for doing real algo trading
11. 0:22research. And I don't mean a tool that
12. 0:24can control the browser like I did in
13. 0:26the past, because that one was a bit
14. 0:27slow. Instead, I want an MCP tool that
15. 0:30can write the strategy, execute the
16. 0:32backtest, look at the results, iterate
17. 0:35over it until it can improve the
18. 0:37results, give me a comparison of
19. 0:39everything that it wrote before, and
20. 0:41then complete report of what it did and
21. 0:43then what worked. So, in other words, I
22. 0:45just want a quant AI to do everything
23. 0:47for me. So, maybe I can even run it 24/7
24. 0:49to do algo trading for me and find as
25. 0:52many strategies as possible. So, in this
26. 0:54video, I'm going to show you the exact
27. 0:55setup that can do that. Now, I got to
28. 0:57say I am not a financial advisor and
29. 0:59this video is for educational purposes
30. 1:01only. So, with that out of the way,
31. 1:02let's get right into the video.
32. 1:05All right. So, you have two options. The
33. 1:07first one is to use Antigravity as it
34. 1:09is, which is no longer an IDE, it's just
35. 1:12a desktop app, very similar to Codex or
36. 1:14Cloud Code. The other option is to use
37. 1:16Antigravity IDE, which is what we are
38. 1:18already used to. It is the equivalent of
39. 1:20Cursor by Google. In this video, I'm
40. 1:22going to show you the IDE version, but
41. 1:24the setup is very similar in
42. 1:26Antigravity, Cloud Code, or whichever
43. 1:28MCP tool that you're going to use. All
44. 1:30right. So, here's the agent chat and
45. 1:32here's the files of the project. And as
46. 1:34always, I'm using Jesse framework for
47. 1:36doing the algo trading stuff. Here we
48. 1:38can see the models and now we have
49. 1:39Gemini 2.5 flash, which is new. It has
50. 1:43two modes, high and medium, and I think
51. 1:45the medium is more than enough for our
52. 1:46use case. All right. Now, I'm going to
53. 1:48do the setup very quickly, but if you
54. 1:49don't want to see it, feel free to skip
55. 1:51ahead to the next chapter, because there
56. 1:52are timestamps down below at the video.
57. 1:54As you can see, we have a Jesse project
58. 1:56here and this is the strategies folder
59. 1:59and here we have the .env file of the
60. 2:00project. Now, this is not a video about
61. 2:03how to install Jesse. I have other
62. 2:04videos about that, but there's one thing
63. 2:06you need to notice and that is now we
64. 2:08have this new environment value called
65. 2:10MCP port and also MCP login terminal
66. 2:13which by default is set to true. So, if
67. 2:15you already have a Jesse project from
68. 2:16before, feel free to add these new
69. 2:18values. Next, we have this MCP rule file
70. 2:21which is how we tell the model like
71. 2:23where to look and what to do. And as the
72. 2:25time goes, I'm going to update this file
73. 2:27with new instructions. So, keep an eye
74. 2:29for that. But right now, you don't
75. 2:31really need to know this file or read
76. 2:33it. You just need to add it in your
77. 2:35conversations whenever you are using MCP
78. 2:38with Jesse. And that is really easy. So,
79. 2:40let's just say MCP rules. That's it.
80. 2:42Now, I can just talk to the model and it
81. 2:45will use these rules. The other way is
82. 2:47to ensure it is attached to every new
83. 2:50chat that you you open when you are in
84. 2:52this project. And and for that, you can
85. 2:54easily rename this file into
86. 2:57agents
87. 2:58.md.
88. 3:00That's it. Now, when I open a new chat,
89. 3:01it should be added by default. Like this
90. 3:03is how almost every IDE is working these
91. 3:06days. But just to be sure, I'm going to
92. 3:08still attach it because I don't want to
93. 3:11make a mistake in this video. All right,
94. 3:13the next step is to run the project and
95. 3:15connect the MCP into anti-gravity IDE.
96. 3:18So, for that, we're going to have to
97. 3:19open the terminal
98. 3:20and simply first make sure to activate
99. 3:24the correct conda environment. So, for
100. 3:26me, it's called Jesse 3.12. And then I
101. 3:29will simply say Jesse run. Now, let's
102. 3:31make this a little bit bigger. All
103. 3:33right, so you see here's the normal
104. 3:35address for opening the dashboard of
105. 3:37Jesse. So, let's click on this one
106. 3:39first. All right, there we go. Now, the
107. 3:41first time you do this, you're going to
108. 3:42be prompted for a password and by
109. 3:44default, it is set to test. And the
110. 3:47other value that I care for is this one
111. 3:49which is the address for the MCP. So,
112. 3:51you see it has the port 9007, but this
113. 3:54is because on my machine I have edited
114. 3:56the .env file with different ports. But,
115. 3:59when you do, this is going to be 9000,
116. 4:019001, 9002. So, I have changed them. So,
117. 4:04in case you also change them like me,
118. 4:06just keep an eye for that. So, for me,
119. 4:09again, this is going to be the address
120. 4:10for the MCP. So, let's copy this. Now,
121. 4:14we're going to need to add it to our
122. 4:15IDE. For that, I'm going to click here,
123. 4:18and then the MCP servers,
124. 4:21then the manage MCP servers.
125. 4:24And in this file, for some reason, it is
126. 4:26not showing me anything, but it is ready
127. 4:28to get me to this server. Now, I'm going
128. 4:30to click on view raw config. And here,
129. 4:33you can see some examples from the IDE
130. 4:35itself. So, let's zoom out a little bit
131. 4:37so I can copy this. And by the way,
132. 4:38there are two configurations we can use.
133. 4:40The first one is for local MCP, the
134. 4:42second one is for remote. And the remote
135. 4:44is the one that we want. Yes, the MCP of
136. 4:47Jesse is served locally on your local
137. 4:50host, but still, when adding it needs to
138. 4:53say the remote option, because that's
139. 4:54the one that uses the HTTP. So, there's
140. 4:57another kind of MCP that we are not
141. 4:59concerned in this setup. So, let's copy
142. 5:01this, close this, zoom in again, sorry.
143. 5:04All right, so let's paste it in. Let's
144. 5:06close this. All right, so here,
145. 5:09actually, the auto complete was just
146. 5:11crazy helpful.
147. 5:13And again here. So, okay, so I am
148. 5:16impressed. So, let's just rename this
149. 5:19into Jesse MCP. This could be any name,
150. 5:23by the way. This address is the one that
151. 5:25we care for, and these headers can also
152. 5:28be just empty. Okay, so there we go. All
153. 5:32right, now we should have these MCP
154. 5:34servers.
155. 5:35Let's click on refresh, and there we go.
156. 5:38Now, we can see Jesse MCP, and it is
157. 5:40indeed enabled. All right, so let's
158. 5:42close this window, and go back to the
159. 5:45chat interface. And here again, we have
160. 5:47selected Gemini 2.5 flash. Let's open
161. 5:51these files one more time. All right,
162. 5:52now that setup is done, we are ready to
163. 5:54ask the agent to do some actual research
164. 5:57for us. All right, I have ensured that
165. 5:58the agent's MD file is attached, even
166. 6:00though I probably don't need to do that
167. 6:02because all the IDs attached that by
168. 6:04default. And the prompt is, "Please
169. 6:06create a new strategy named golden cross
170. 6:08strategy, and it should be trend
171. 6:10following. You should trade it on the
172. 6:12BTC USDT on Binance perpetual futures
173. 6:15for 2024 using the 4-hour time frame."
174. 6:18Let's hit enter and just watch the magic
175. 6:21happen. As you can see, it started using
176. 6:23the MCP.
177. 6:26I'll say, "Yes, always use it." Yes,
178. 6:28always use it. Okay, so it's being a
179. 6:30little bit annoying by asking every
180. 6:32single time, but I'm guessing this is
181. 6:33just for the first time that it tries to
182. 6:36use any sort of tool. Let's make this a
183. 6:39little bit bigger.
184. 6:42All right, I looked it up and I couldn't
185. 6:43find any settings for to ensure that it
186. 6:46just uses the MCP without keeping to ask
187. 6:50for permissions. This is a bit annoying.
188. 6:52I might be missing something, so if you
189. 6:53guys know where that setting is, please
190. 6:54leave it down in the comments. I really
191. 6:56want to know that.
192. 6:58All right, there we go. So, it created a
193. 7:00report file to tell me exactly what it
194. 7:03did, and of course the strategy code
195. 7:05itself. So, let's take a look at the
196. 7:06code of the strategy first. Let's
197. 7:08minimize this. All right, so here's the
198. 7:10strategy. It defined a fast SMA, a slow
199. 7:13SMA, the ATR, and here's the entry rule
200. 7:16of the strategy, like whether it should
201. 7:17go long or not. And it's saying that
202. 7:19whenever the crossover happens, then you
203. 7:22want to go long. Whenever the opposite
204. 7:24happens, you want to open a short
205. 7:26position. It's using 10% of the balance
206. 7:29for the position sizing. It is
207. 7:31submitting the buy order, the stop loss
208. 7:33and take profit. And for those, it is
209. 7:35using the ATR indicator, so the stop
210. 7:37loss is two times of the current ATR,
211. 7:40and the take profit is four times, so we
212. 7:41have a win to loss ratio of two. The
213. 7:44opposite is for short positions, and
214. 7:46then it is saying that whenever the
215. 7:48golden cross is no longer valid, we want
216. 7:51to liquidate the current position. So,
217. 7:52this is perfect code, and it seems like
218. 7:55it actually ran the code, and it is
219. 7:57giving us some report. So, let's accept
220. 7:59this and then read give it a read. So,
221. 8:00it designed a trend following strategy
222. 8:02based on these criterias. It verified
223. 8:05that we have enough historical candles
224. 8:07in the database, and then it's ran the
225. 8:09backtest. The win rate was 52%. The max
226. 8:12drawdown was 1.57.
227. 8:14The Sharpe ratio was 0.68. So, these are
228. 8:17all good, and here's the conclusion of
229. 8:19it. It's also recommending some next
230. 8:22steps. So, here's what I'm going to do.
231. 8:24Let's open it one more time and say, "I
232. 8:27need you to add three more iterations to
233. 8:29the strategy. Try to improve the
234. 8:31results, and at the end give me a
235. 8:33comparison of the results and select the
236. 8:35best one." Now, while that's going, I
237. 8:37want to quickly remind you guys about
238. 8:39our Telegram. It's the fastest way to
239. 8:40get notified about my future work,
240. 8:42whether it's a new tutorial or a tool
241. 8:44that I create. Also, don't forget to
242. 8:46check out our free Discord, where more
243. 8:47than 5,000 members like you and I are
244. 8:50hanging out there and helping out each
245. 8:51other with algo trading, so we can all
246. 8:53succeed together. The links for both are
247. 8:55down in the description.
248. 8:57So, let's hit enter. And while this is
249. 9:00going, I'm going to open the dashboard
250. 9:02of Jesse, so we can actually see the
251. 9:04backtest that it just executed. So,
252. 9:06let's go to history, and here is the one
253. 9:09that it just defined right now. So, if I
254. 9:11go here, here we can see the equity
255. 9:13chart for it. Here's the scale version
256. 9:16of it. Now, the net profit is so low
257. 9:19because it's using only 10% of the
258. 9:21capital for entering the position, which
259. 9:24is not really a good option, but the win
260. 9:26rate is good. The Sharpe ratio is not
261. 9:28that bad, which means we can easily
262. 9:29increase the size of the position to get
263. 9:31better results. In fact, we're going to
264. 9:32do that just in a second. But, yeah, so
265. 9:34far this looks okay. We also have the
266. 9:37other charts. Okay, so this is pretty
267. 9:39cool. Let's go back to it. Another
268. 9:41annoying permission asking. Now, another
269. 9:43thing that I think needs some update is
270. 9:45that you see whatever it does is this is
271. 9:48printing out the outputs and the inputs.
272. 9:50Like this isn't super cool. When I use
273. 9:52the MCP in other IDEs or tools such as
274. 9:54Cloud Code, it doesn't show me these
275. 9:56things unless I actually want to see
276. 9:58them and I click on them. So, I think
277. 10:00this also needs some updating. I think
278. 10:03there must be some sort of settings for
279. 10:05it to improve this, but I want to just
280. 10:07point out that these days I'm not using
281. 10:09anti-gravity. It just came out, but the
282. 10:12fact that it's giving us this amount of
283. 10:15tools all for free is just super cool.
284. 10:17All right, so it is done and it just
285. 10:20gave us a beautiful table comparing all
286. 10:23the iterations. So, this is the
287. 10:24iteration number one up until iteration
288. 10:26number four. Here's the strategy setup
289. 10:29like which parameters and indicators it
290. 10:31was using and here here we can see the
291. 10:34ending balance. So, clearly the
292. 10:36iteration two is the best one, the sharp
293. 10:38ratio of 1.76. So, yeah, this one is
294. 10:40just super great. Here's the number of
295. 10:42total trades, the win rates, profit
296. 10:44factor, and it's also like explaining
297. 10:47what exactly was used and how effective
298. 10:49it was. And then it says that based on
299. 10:52the empirical evidence, iteration two is
300. 10:54the clear and superior winner and I have
301. 10:56restored the active code in the init
302. 10:59file to the iteration number two
303. 11:01implementation. And it also updated this
304. 11:04report file that it just creates for us,
305. 11:06which is really beautiful to just read.
306. 11:08I can also see the same table to compare
307. 11:12the results. Now, this is in markdown
308. 11:13format, so we need to enable the preview
309. 11:16in in case you want to just read it
310. 11:18right here. Okay, there we go. So, yeah,
311. 11:21it gave us a report for iteration number
312. 11:23one, iteration number two, and three.
313. 11:25And there's also a table comparing
314. 11:27everything together. So, you don't even
315. 11:29need to read everything here. If you
316. 11:31miss this or whatever in the future, you
317. 11:33can just come back here and read the
318. 11:35report that it just wrote for you. And
319. 11:37now if I go back to Jesse's dashboard,
320. 11:39go to the history page, I can also find
321. 11:42this session right here. And here you
322. 11:44can see that it's the equity curve was
323. 11:46better. You know what? Let's ask the
324. 11:47model to include the size of the
325. 11:48position so that we can actually see
326. 11:50this equity curve cuz this isn't really
327. 11:51great.
328. 11:52Increase the size of the position in a
329. 11:54way that the max drawdown won't be no
330. 11:57worse than minus 20%. Okay, so this is
331. 12:00really cool. Like I don't even need to
332. 12:01touch the code anymore. And
333. 12:04this is very different than a normal
334. 12:05changing, right? Because now this MCP it
335. 12:08has access to the documentation of
336. 12:10Jesse. So it's different than the way
337. 12:13that you usually change the code in a
338. 12:15Jesse project because then it the model
339. 12:17might make a mistake. It tries to guess
340. 12:19like the indicator problems or things
341. 12:21like that. But now it has clear access
342. 12:23to the documentation. And whenever it
343. 12:26makes a change, it actually runs the
344. 12:28code to ensure that it works. Now,
345. 12:30here's the fun part.
346. 12:31We just ran out of the free credit. So
347. 12:35this is also a good
348. 12:36demonstration of like how much limits
349. 12:39you actually have because guys, I
350. 12:41started using this thing just when I
351. 12:43started the video. I mean I did test it
352. 12:45in other IDs, but with this ID this is
353. 12:47the first time I tried it. So we can
354. 12:48clearly see how much free credits are
355. 12:51given to us. Now, for the remaining of
356. 12:53the video, I'm going to do the edits by
357. 12:56my own hands. So let's just come here
358. 12:59and Okay, it seems like it actually did
359. 13:01make changes because it's showing that
360. 13:03it is now using two times of the current
361. 13:05balance, which is good. In other words,
362. 13:07it's going to use some leverage, which
363. 13:09is perfectly fine because the max
364. 13:11drawdown of the strategy wasn't high in
365. 13:13the first place. So let's just open the
366. 13:14dashboard one more time and run it.
367. 13:18And there we go. So now we can see the
368. 13:20equity curve. It is now producing 73% in
369. 13:23profit. Max drawdown is minus 18%, which
370. 13:25is exactly what I asked the model to do
371. 13:27and the Sharpe ratio is 1.75.
372. 13:30The drawdown periods are just fine and
373. 13:32here are also the monthly returns heat
374. 13:34map where we can see like how much the
375. 13:37strategy made in every single month.
376. 13:39Now, obviously I just over simplified
377. 13:40everything and I'm not going to trade
378. 13:42this strategy just yet. In reality
379. 13:44you're going to want to pay for a plan
380. 13:46in order to be able to run these
381. 13:48research sessions for longer periods of
382. 13:51time because you want the model to keep
383. 13:53writing and modifying the strategy until
384. 13:55it finds the best ones. The other thing
385. 13:57is that right now I just use it to write
386. 13:59the strategy and the backtest and just
387. 14:01compare the results and give me the best
388. 14:02one. But this is just the beginning of
389. 14:04the MCP integration for Jesse. Now
390. 14:06imagine if you could ask the model to
391. 14:08run optimizations to find the best
392. 14:09parameters and then it could maybe run
393. 14:11Monte Carlo simulations on it to ensure
394. 14:14that the results that it is giving you
395. 14:16is not overfit. Like that's going to be
396. 14:17a complete quant which is ready to do
397. 14:20research for you like 24/7. So I
398. 14:22couldn't be more excited about the setup
399. 14:24and the future of this for it. And even
400. 14:26though the limits for the free plan
401. 14:27wasn't like that much, it still I am
402. 14:29thankful to Google for giving us this
403. 14:31tool for free. Now before I leave you
