量化交易智能体在自动化因子发现、信号聚合和组合执行方面展现出巨大潜力。然而,现有基于智能体的交易系统大多依赖模糊的自然语言工作流,导致推理过程不透明、不同基础模型表现不一致、可控性与可验证性差,给金融决策带来显著风险。为此,我们提出AlphaCrafter,一个基于结构化智能体调度器的多智能体框架。不同于将智能体行为视为无约束的提示执行,AlphaCrafter将每个智能体封装在可编程策略中,整合流程化工作流、执行约束与显式验证机制。该调度驱动设计将整个交易流程转化为一系列定义明确、可复现、可审计的决策过程,具备明确的执行语义。在CSI 300和S&P 500基准上的大量实验表明,AlphaCrafter持续获得更优的风险调整收益,且跨模型与跨试验方差显著降低。结果表明,基于调度器的智能体设计为构建更可靠、可控、鲁棒的多智能体量化交易系统提供了可行基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantitative trading agents have demonstrated substantial promise in automating factor discovery, signal aggregation, and portfolio execution. However, existing agent-based trading systems predominantly rely on loosely specified natural-language workflows, leading to opaque reasoning processes, inconsistent behaviors across foundation models, and limited controllability and verifiability, all of which introduce significant risks in financial decision-making. To address these limitations, we propose AlphaCrafter, a multi-agent framework built upon a structured agent harness. Instead of treating agent behavior as unconstrained prompt execution, AlphaCrafter encapsulates each agent within programmable policy specifications that integrate procedural workflows, execution constraints, and explicit verification mechanisms. This harness-driven design transforms the entire trading pipeline into a sequence of well-defined, reproducible, and auditable decision processes with explicit execution semantics. Extensive experiments on the CSI 300 and S&P 500 benchmarks demonstrate that AlphaCrafter consistently achieves superior risk-adjusted returns while exhibiting substantially lower cross-model and cross-trial variance. These results suggest that harness-based agent design provides a practical foundation for building more reliable, controllable, and robust multi-agent systems for quantitative trading.
