HELIX

HELIX-INSPIRED ALPHA GENERATION

A quantitative trading system inspired by Figure's Helix robot architecture, designed for generating alpha in S&P 500 stocks. Developed by me.

FigureAI's decoupled Helix architecture for collaborative perception and control

The dual-system architecture is inspired by Figure AI's Helix robot, which uses a 7B parameter VLM running at 7-9Hz for strategic decisions alongside an 80M parameter model running at 200Hz for real-time control - mirroring modern trading systems that separate strategy generation from execution. Naturally, I thought this would be similar to how traders would make decisions (not considering buy/sell side), swift formulation of strategy observing tickers followed by fast, dense, and dexterous update to trading actions. The actions will again feed into the system 2's perception, closing the loop.

I open-sourced the project but I'd highly caution against you taking this system too seriously to make you any penny.
