1 How to Leverage the AutoGen Framework for Collaborative

Task Management
The AutoGen framework enables the management of dynamic, collaborative group chats using
specialized agents, including code generators, critics, and comparers. It provides conversational
agents powered by LLMs, tools, or human input, allowing for effective task completion through
automated chat. This setup supports both tool-based and human involvement within multi-agent
conversations.

1.1 Framework Setup

In this project, I configured:
• CRITIC Agent: Reviews the Python code implemented by the Assistant Agent
(code_generator) and the code executor.
• Comparer Agent: Analyzes and provides insights on final results.
To manage agent interactions, I used the GroupChatManager class.
This Manager agent coordinates the agents, selects the next speaker, requests responses, and broad-
casts them to other agents, creating a seamless, collaborative environment.

1.2 Use Case: Optimizing a Momentum Trading Strategy

Objective: Use the AutoGen framework to optimize a momentum trading strategy and select the
best short/long periods for moving averages.

1.2.1 Agent Instructions:

• Implement a momentum trading strategy.
• Propose various pairs of moving averages.
• Calculate buy and sell signals for each pair.
• Compute and evaluate returns for each moving average pair.

1.3 Agent Roles

• Assistant Agent: Generates Python code to implement the trading strategy, fetch historical
prices, create plots, and perform calculations.
• UserProxyAgent: Executes the code.
• Critic Agent: Reviews and scores the code based on defined metrics.

1
 • Comparer Agent: Compares results for different moving average pairs.
• Group Chat Manager: Oversees agent interactions and manages the workflow to complete
the task.

3 Agents
3.1 AssistantAgent & UserProxyAgent
We will create AssistantAgent and UserProxyAgent:
• What is the difference between both agents?:

2
 AssistantAgent: * It is behaving like an AI Assistant by using an LLM under the hood.
• It is not requiring human input or code execution.
• It is the standard form of an AI assistant: You give it an instruction like summarize a given
text or write a Python code, or refine and correct a given Python code.
• The behavior is instructed by the system message.
UserProxyAgent: It’s more sophisticated agent. It can: * Interact with human input * Execute
Code * Call functions or tools * You can either enable or disable the use of an LLM. If disabled
the Agent will execute code. If enabled and no code to execute, it will generate answers using the
LLM.
� � These 2 agents are sublcasses of a more generic class called ConversableAgent, which is the
highest-level agent abstraction.
This generic class allows agents to converse with each other through the exchange of the messages
while retaining the possibility of human intervention (if asked) to finish the required task. You can
create an agent, with only these 2 agents. However, to render the chat more dynamic and allow for
other agents to interven such as the CRITIC agent, I’ll also use GroupChatManager.

3.2 GroupChatManager
GroupChatManager Agent allows a dynamic group chat

 GroupChatManager
The Manager agent, which is an instance of the GroupChatManager class, serves as the conductor
of conversation among agents and repeats the following three steps:
1. Dynamically Selecting a single speaker (Code_generator for example),
2. Asking the speaker to respond, and collecting responses from this selected speaker, and
3. Broadcasting the selected speaker’s message to all other agents

4.1 Goal:
I instruct the multi-agent system to provide momentum trading strategy (one sugesstion of pair
short, long window moving average), compute buy/sell signals and the final return. Plot all this
information and also save it in various files (python file, csv file, and png images).

4.2 Multi-agent collaboration

I created five agents to optimize this process: - Assistant Agent: Proposes Python code to imple-
ment the momentum trading strategy, fetch historical prices, generate plots, and perform various
computations. - UserProxyAgent: Executes the code. - Critic: Reviews the Python code implemen-
tation and scores it based on four metrics (see code for details). - Group Chat Manager: Manages
interactions between the agents to complete the final task.

Next speaker: Code_generator

Code_generator (to chat_manager):

Let's implement and execute each step clearly. We will start by writing the
Python code for a simple momentum trading strategy, save it to a file, and work
through testing it with NVIDIA's historical prices. Here's the plan:

### Step 1: Implement a Momentum Trading Strategy

A simple momentum trading strategy can be based on a moving average crossover:
when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, it's
a buy signal, and when it crosses below, it's a sell signal.

### Step 2: Save the Code in 'momentum_trading_strategy.py'

We'll create a Python script that defines this strategy.

```python
# filename: momentum_trading_strategy.py

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

7
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pandas_datareader import data as web

def download_data(symbol, start, end):

"""Download historical stock data"""
df = web.DataReader(symbol, 'yahoo', start, end)
return df

def momentum_trading_strategy(df, short_window=40, long_window=100):

"""Implement a simple moving average crossover trading strategy"""
signals = pd.DataFrame(index=df.index)
signals['price'] = df['Close']
signals['short_mavg'] = df['Close'].rolling(window=short_window,
min_periods=1).mean()
signals['long_mavg'] = df['Close'].rolling(window=long_window,
min_periods=1).mean()

signals['signal'] = 0.0
signals['signal'][short_window:] =
np.where(signals['short_mavg'][short_window:] >
signals['long_mavg'][short_window:], 1.0, 0.0)

signals['positions'] = signals['signal'].diff()
return signals

def save_strategy_results(signals, filename='nvidia_trading_strategy.csv'):

"""Save strategy results to CSV"""
signals.to_csv(filename)

def plot_strategy(signals, filename='nvidia_trading_strategy.png'):

"""Plot the price and trading signals"""
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plt.plot(signals['price'], label='Stock Price')
plt.plot(signals['short_mavg'], label='Short-term MAV')
plt.plot(signals['long_mavg'], label='Long-term MAV')
plt.plot(signals.loc[signals.positions == 1.0].index,
signals.short_mavg[signals.positions == 1.0],
'^', markersize=10, color='g', label='Buy Signal')
plt.plot(signals.loc[signals.positions == -1.0].index,
signals.short_mavg[signals.positions == -1.0],
'v', markersize=10, color='r', label='Sell Signal')
plt.title('NVIDIA Trading Strategy')
plt.legend()
plt.savefig(filename)

def main():
start_date = '2023-01-01'
end_date = '2023-10-31'

8
 symbol = 'NVDA'

# Step 2: Download the historical data

df = download_data(symbol, start_date, end_date)

# Step 3: Apply the strategy

signals = momentum_trading_strategy(df)

# Step 4: Save the results

save_strategy_results(signals)

# Step 5: Plot the strategy

plot_strategy(signals)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```

### Step 3: Apply the Code to NVIDIA's Historical Prices

The code above takes care of downloading the data, applying the strategy, and
saving the results.

### Step 4: Save Results to a CSV

The `save_strategy_results` function in the script saves the DataFrame as a CSV.

### Step 5: Plot the Trading Strategy

The `plot_strategy` function handles the plotting of the trading strategy.

### Step 6: Calculate and Plot Buy and Sell Signals

This is integrated in the `plot_strategy` function using arrows to indicate buy
and sell signals.

### Step 7: Compute Final Return and Plot

We will add this functionality next.

Let’s proceed with Step 1-6, save the script, and execute it before proceeding
to Step 7.

Please run the code in 'momentum_trading_strategy.py'. After successfully

running it, I will guide you on computing and plotting the final return.

Code_generator (to chat_manager):

It seems that the `pandas_datareader` library is having trouble accessing Yahoo

10
Finance directly for historical data. This is a common issue as Yahoo Finance's
API changes over time. As an alternative, we can use the `yfinance` library,
which is more reliable for downloading stock data from Yahoo Finance.

Let's modify the code to use the `yfinance` library:

```python
# filename: momentum_trading_strategy.py

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import yfinance as yf

def download_data(symbol, start, end):

"""Download historical stock data"""
df = yf.download(symbol, start=start, end=end)
return df

def momentum_trading_strategy(df, short_window=40, long_window=100):

"""Implement a simple moving average crossover trading strategy"""
signals = pd.DataFrame(index=df.index)
signals['price'] = df['Close']
signals['short_mavg'] = df['Close'].rolling(window=short_window,
min_periods=1).mean()
signals['long_mavg'] = df['Close'].rolling(window=long_window,
min_periods=1).mean()

signals['signal'] = 0.0
signals['signal'][short_window:] =
np.where(signals['short_mavg'][short_window:] >
signals['long_mavg'][short_window:], 1.0, 0.0)

signals['positions'] = signals['signal'].diff()
return signals

def save_strategy_results(signals, filename='nvidia_trading_strategy.csv'):

"""Save strategy results to CSV"""
signals.to_csv(filename)

def plot_strategy(signals, filename='nvidia_trading_strategy.png'):

"""Plot the price and trading signals"""
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plt.plot(signals['price'], label='Stock Price')
plt.plot(signals['short_mavg'], label='Short-term MAV')
plt.plot(signals['long_mavg'], label='Long-term MAV')
plt.plot(signals.loc[signals.positions == 1.0].index,
signals.short_mavg[signals.positions == 1.0],

11
 '^', markersize=10, color='g', label='Buy Signal')
plt.plot(signals.loc[signals.positions == -1.0].index,
signals.short_mavg[signals.positions == -1.0],
'v', markersize=10, color='r', label='Sell Signal')
plt.title('NVIDIA Trading Strategy')
plt.legend()
plt.savefig(filename)

def main():
start_date = '2023-01-01'
end_date = '2023-10-31'
symbol = 'NVDA'

# Step 2: Download the historical data

df = download_data(symbol, start_date, end_date)

# Step 3: Apply the strategy

signals = momentum_trading_strategy(df)

# Step 4: Save the results

save_strategy_results(signals)

# Step 5: Plot the strategy

plot_strategy(signals)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```

Please ensure you have the `yfinance` library installed. If not, you can install
it using:

```sh
pip install yfinance
```

Now, run the above Python script again. Once it's successfully run, I'll guide
you on the next step to compute and plot the final return.

[*********************100%***********************] 1 of 1 completed
/content/code/momentum_trading_strategy.py:21: FutureWarning:
ChainedAssignmentError: behaviour will change in pandas 3.0!
You are setting values through chained assignment. Currently this works in
certain cases, but when using Copy-on-Write (which will become the default
behaviour in pandas 3.0) this will never work to update the original DataFrame
or Series, because the intermediate object on which we are setting values will
behave as a copy.
A typical example is when you are setting values in a column of a DataFrame,
like:

df["col"][row_indexer] = value

Use `df.loc[row_indexer, "col"] = values` instead, to perform the assignment in

a single step and ensure this keeps updating the original `df`.

Next speaker: Critic_agent

Critic_agent (to chat_manager):

The script executed successfully and generated the required CSV and PNG files.
However, we encountered a `FutureWarning` regarding the chained assignment
operation in Pandas, which may cause issues in the future when Pandas updates
its default behavior. We can resolve this by using the `loc` indexer to assign
values without triggering the warning.

Let's fix that warning in the code:

```python
# Modify the assignment line in the momentum_trading_strategy function to use
loc
signals.loc[signals.index[short_window:], 'signal'] = np.where(
signals['short_mavg'][short_window:] > signals['long_mavg'][short_window:],
1.0, 0.0
)
```

13
### Step 7: Compute and Plot Final Return

To calculate and plot the final return of the strategy, we should add a section
to compute and plot these results. Let's extend our script with these
functionalities:

```python
def compute_final_return(signals, filename='final_return.png'):
"""Compute and plot the final cumulative return of the trading strategy"""
signals['strategy_returns'] = signals['positions'].shift(1) *
(signals['price'].pct_change())
signals['cumulative_strategy_return'] = (signals['strategy_returns'] +
1).cumprod()

plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plt.plot(signals['cumulative_strategy_return'], label='Cumulative Strategy
Return')
plt.title('Final Return of the Trading Strategy')
plt.legend()
plt.savefig(filename)

def main():
start_date = '2023-01-01'
end_date = '2023-10-31'
symbol = 'NVDA'

# Step 2: Download the historical data

df = download_data(symbol, start_date, end_date)

# Step 3: Apply the strategy

signals = momentum_trading_strategy(df)

# Step 4: Save the results

save_strategy_results(signals)

# Step 5: Plot the strategy

plot_strategy(signals)

# Step 7: Compute and Plot Final Return

compute_final_return(signals)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```

After adding this function, execute your script once more to compute and plot
the final return of your trading strategy. This will generate and save a plot of
the cumulative strategy return, showing you the final return of the momentum

14
trading strategy over the specified period.

Agents Workflow
Even between the code generator and the code executor, there’s a reflective process: when the code

5 Second Run: Adding other agents and Asking date first

5.1 Goal
• In this second run, I’m using the multi-agent framework to apply the same process with
different pairs of short/long windows for the moving average.
• The goal is to generate multiple implementations of the momentum trading strategy and
calculate the returns for each short/long window pair.
• With the comparer agent, we’ll receive a detailed analysis of each pair, including insights on
buy/sell signals and performance.
• To avoid retrieving prices from 2023, I began by asking the multi-agent framework, ‘What
is today’s date?’. This question triggers the first agent (code_generator) to generate Python
code, which the code_executor then runs to determine today’s date. With the current date
identified, the system can then fetch historical prices accordingly.

Let's tackle this task step by step:

### Step 1: Get the current date.

We'll start by determining today's date.

```python
from datetime import date

today = date.today()
print("Today's date is:", today)
```

Please execute the above code and provide the date. This helps to ensure that we
use the correct historical data for NVIDIA from the current year for the
subsequent steps. Once you provide the date, we'll proceed to the next steps.

Next speaker: Code_generator

Code_generator (to chat_manager):

### Step 2: Implementing a momentum trading strategy with 2 moving averages

Now, we'll create a Python code implementation for a momentum trading strategy
using two moving averages: short and long.

```python
# filename: momentum_trading_strategy.py

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def calculate_moving_average(data, window):

return data.rolling(window=window).mean()

def momentum_trading_strategy(data, short_window, long_window):

signals = pd.DataFrame(index=data.index)
signals['price'] = data['Close']
signals['short_mavg'] = calculate_moving_average(signals['price'],
short_window)
signals['long_mavg'] = calculate_moving_average(signals['price'],
long_window)

signals['signal'] = 0.0
signals['signal'][short_window:] =
np.where(signals['short_mavg'][short_window:] >
signals['long_mavg'][short_window:], 1.0, 0.0)
signals['positions'] = signals['signal'].diff()

return signals
```

Now that we have implemented the momentum trading strategy, let's download
NVIDIA's historical data for the current year and apply different moving
averages in the next steps. We'll also adapt the code to save results and plots
for each pair.

### Step 3: Applying the Code to NVIDIA Historical Prices for 2024

Next, we'll use the created `momentum_trading_strategy.py` to apply on NVIDIA

historical data for the year 2024 with four different pairs of moving averages.
We will create a new script to handle the data retrieval, strategy application,
and result processing.

```python
# filename: apply_momentum_trading.py

import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from momentum_trading_strategy import momentum_trading_strategy

# Fetch NVIDIA historical data for the year 2024

nvidia = yf.download('NVDA', start='2024-01-01', end='2024-11-10')

# Define pairs of moving averages

ma_pairs = [(5, 20), (10, 50), (20, 100), (50, 200)]

25
# Apply and process each moving average pair
for short_window, long_window in ma_pairs:
# Apply the trading strategy
signals = momentum_trading_strategy(nvidia, short_window, long_window)

# Save results in a CSV file

csv_filename = f'nvidia_trading_strategy_{short_window}_{long_window}.csv'
signals.to_csv(csv_filename)

# Plot the trading strategy

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.plot(signals['price'], label='Price')
plt.plot(signals['short_mavg'], label=f'Short MA ({short_window})')
plt.plot(signals['long_mavg'], label=f'Long MA ({long_window})')
plt.legend()
plt.title(f'Trading Strategy with MA {short_window} and {long_window}')
plt.savefig(f'nvidia_trading_strategy_{short_window}_{long_window}.png')
plt.close()

# Plot buy and sell signals

buy_signals = signals[signals['positions'] == 1.0]
sell_signals = signals[signals['positions'] == -1.0]

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.plot(signals['price'], label='Price')
plt.scatter(buy_signals.index, buy_signals['price'], marker='^', color='g',
label='Buy Signal')
plt.scatter(sell_signals.index, sell_signals['price'], marker='v',
color='r', label='Sell Signal')
plt.legend()
plt.title(f'Buy and Sell Signals with MA {short_window} and {long_window}')
plt.savefig(f'buy_sell_signals_{short_window}_{long_window}.png')
plt.close()

# Compute final return

returns = signals['price'].pct_change().fillna(0)
strategy_returns = returns * signals['signal'].shift(1).fillna(0)
cumulative_return = (1 + strategy_returns).cumprod()[-1] - 1

print(f'Final return for MA pair ({short_window}, {long_window}):

{cumulative_return:.2%}')
```

Please save the above code into a file named `apply_momentum_trading.py`,

execute it, and then let me know the output so I can help you with the final
markdown formatting of the results.

#### Evaluation of the Code Implementation for the Momentum Trading Strategy

1. **Code Executability:**
- **Score**: 9/10
- The code executes successfully and fetches NVIDIA stock data for 2024
using `yfinance`.
- Libraries such as `pandas`, `numpy`, `matplotlib`, and `yfinance` are
readily available and used appropriately.
- Future warnings related to `pandas` were raised. These do not prevent
execution currently but may in future versions.

2. **Calculation:**
- **Score**: 8/10
- The moving averages (short and long) are calculated correctly using a
rolling mean.
- The strategy's conditions for generating signals based on moving average
crossover are implemented, although chained assignment warnings suggest

29
improvements for future compatibility.
- Cumulative return calculation needs adjustment for cleaner handling.

3. **Buy and Sell Signals:**

- **Score**: 8/10
- Signals for buy (1) and sell (-1) are computed by comparing the short and
long moving average.
- The plotting of buy/sell signals is correctly implemented; however, there
were concerns with chaining assignments, which may impact precision in some
future pandas configurations.

4. **Return:**
- **Score**: 9/10
- The strategy's final returns are calculated correctly as displayed from
strategy execution.
- Future warnings on series accessing are to be considered for future
adaptability.

### Summary of Returns:

Markdown format of the returns for each moving average pair from the execution:

```markdown
## Momentum Trading Strategy Results for NVIDIA 2024

### Moving Average Pairs and Returns:

1. **5, 20 Moving Averages:**

- **Final Return:** 84.48%

2. **10, 50 Moving Averages:**

- **Final Return:** 5.04%

3. **20, 100 Moving Averages:**

- **Final Return:** 40.62%

4. **50, 200 Moving Averages:**

- **Final Return:** 8.78%
```

### Recommendations:
- To address future compatibility, consider revising the code to adapt to the
new pandas `Copy-on-Write` behavior.
- Use explicit index locating, `iloc` for position-based indexing, to suppress
the warnings and ensure clarity and longer-term usability.
- These minor tweaks will enhance precision and compatibility after pandas 3.0.

Comparer (to chat_manager):

#### Detailed Commentary on Buy and Sell Signals & Final Returns

### Moving Average Pair: (5, 20)

- **Buy Signals:** Generated when the short-term moving average (5-day) crosses
above the long-term moving average (20-day). The frequent crossovers in a
shorter span make this setup more responsive to market changes.
- **Sell Signals:** Occurred when the short-term moving average crosses below
the long-term moving average, indicating a potential downtrend.
- **Performance:** This pair yielded a striking final return of 84.48%,
indicating high responsiveness and profitability under volatile market
conditions.

### Moving Average Pair: (10, 50)

- **Buy Signals:** Less frequent compared to shorter periods, this setup
captures medium-term trends, potentially reducing noise.
- **Sell Signals:** As with buys, signals reflect more substantial trend shifts,
hence reducing premature exits.
- **Performance:** A modest final return of 5.04% was recorded, potentially
indicating missed rapid market movements or slower response to quick price
adjustments.

### Moving Average Pair: (20, 100)

- **Buy Signals:** Generated to capture longer-term trend shifts and reduce
false signals often seen with shorter averages.
- **Sell Signals:** Sell indications align with significant downward trends,
leveraging slow-moving market cycles.
- **Performance:** A favorable return of 40.62% was achieved, striking a balance
between risk and reward by tracking more consistent trends.

### Moving Average Pair: (50, 200)

- **Buy Signals:** Quite conservative, reflecting only sustained upward trends,
thereby reducing trade frequency.
- **Sell Signals:** Captures extended downtrends, implying stronger conviction
signals compared to shorter averages.
- **Performance:** Delivered an 8.78% return, pointing to limited trades and a
more robust filter against market noise.

### Conclusion
The strategy highlights vary in performance, with shorter periods reacting
quicker to price changes and longer pairs yielding stable but slower signals.
Each pair contains unique thresholds of noise vs. trend capturing, allowing
investors to tailor their strategies according to risk preferences and market
expectations.

31
### Implementation Considerations
To adhere to future standards:
- Consider refactoring assignment methods to resolve pandas' `Copy-on-Write`
warnings, enhancing stability.
- Implement positional indexing with `.iloc` to avoid deprecation conflicts,
ensuring enduring script functionality.

Overall, the strategy's execution across diverse moving average configurations

underscores its adaptability and potential profit variability contingent on
market dynamics.
