Trading Idea Validation MCP Tool for AI Agents

validate-trading-idea runs one exact US company or ADR through one of six fixed long-only daily presets and three fixed variants. Signals are observed at the close, executed at the next valid open with 5 bps friction per side, selected only on the 70% development sample, and reported separately on the 30% holdout sample.

validate-trading-idea

Example prompt

Use Pineify validate-trading-idea for AAPL with rsi-mean-reversion over 5y and compare all variants.

Direct answer

What validate-trading-idea does

The tool accepts preset IDs rather than code or a strategy DSL. Dividend-adjusted OHLCV, fixed warmup, minimum-trade rules, stable tie-breaking, and no-lookahead timing are versioned.

Historical candidate, sensitivity, benchmarks, and holdout results remain visible even when the selected variant is ineligible or underperforms.

Contract

What the agent sends and receives

Inputs

  • `symbol`: one exact active US company or ADR.

  • `lookback`: 3y or 5y; optional `detail`: compact or standard.

Structured output

  • Exactly three sensitivity variants, one historical candidate, development/holdout metrics, and up to four regime slices.
  • Data coverage, adjusted-history counts, benchmarks, warnings, and methodology.

Capabilities

Where this MCP tool fits

Agent workflow

A bounded call from question to review

  1. 1

    Choose a fixed hypothesis

    Select a supported preset instead of sending executable code.

  2. 2

    Review development eligibility

    Check minimum trades and the deterministic candidate-selection record.

  3. 3

    Judge holdout evidence separately

    Compare candidate, underlying, and SPY results without reselecting on holdout.

Prompt examples

Questions an agent can route to this tool

"Use Pineify validate-trading-idea for AAPL with rsi-mean-reversion over 5y and compare all variants."
"Validate the MSFT sma-crossover preset over 3y and explain development versus holdout performance."

Operator notes

How I review the result

I call the result a historical candidate, not a best or future parameter set.

I keep no-trade and minimum-trade failures visible instead of optimizing them away.

Boundaries to keep in the prompt

  • Only six fixed long-only daily presets and three fixed variants are supported.
  • Historical backtests are sensitive to sample, costs, and market regime and do not predict future performance.
  • The tool does not execute user code, place trades, or provide personalized advice.

Pineify MCP is an information and code-validation tool, not investment advice. It does not promise returns, place trades, or modify a portfolio. Review timestamps, source fields, code diagnostics, and risk assumptions before acting.
