EVOQUANT: Self-Evolving Verifier-Guided Strategy Optimization for Robust Quantitative Trading

- 用大模型诊断问题并生成可控修改,避免随意乱改。
- 平均夏普比率从-0.298升至0.538,最优策略提升199%。
- 适合金融研究者与量化团队,实现策略持续进化。
量化策略优化仍高度依赖人工,需专家识别弱信号、调参并反复验证。大语言模型虽可加速,但直接改写易引入幻觉、策略漂移和过拟合。我们提出EVOQUANT,一种自演化验证器引导的量化策略优化框架。该方法利用大模型深度诊断性能瓶颈,生成语义可控的候选修改,通过多阶段验证筛选最优策略,并将优化经验提炼为可复用知识以实现持续自我改进。在七种代表性策略上评估:四组A股策略,三组加密货币策略。实验表明,所有策略夏普比率均显著提升,平均测试夏普从-0.298增至0.538,最佳策略相对提升199%。消融实验与严苛条件下的压力测试进一步验证了框架的有效性与鲁棒性。本工作将量化策略优化从高成本的人工试错转变为自动化、可验证的迭代范式,为大模型应用于金融策略研究提供新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quantitative strategy optimization remains largely manual, requiring domain experts to identify weak signals, tune risk-control rules, and repeatedly validate iterative revisions. Large language models can accelerate this process, but directly relying on them to rewrite trading strategies often introduces hallucinated edits, strategy drift, and backtest overfitting. We propose EVOQUANT, a self-Evolving Verifier-guided framework for strategy Optimization in Quantitative trading. Our method utilizes LLMs to deeply diagnose performance bottlenecks, generates semantically controlled candidate edits, selects the best strategy through a multi-stage verification pipeline, and distills optimization experience into reusable knowledge for continual self-improvement. We evaluate our method using seven representative strategies: four from the A-share market and three from the Crypto market. Experimental results show that our method significantly improves the Sharpe ratio across all tested strategies: the average test Sharpe increases from -0.298 to 0.538, and the best-performing strategy achieves a 199% relative improvement. Ablation studies and stress tests under stricter conditions further validate the effectiveness and robustness of the framework. Overall, this work transforms quantitative strategy optimization from costly manual trial and error into an automated and verifiable iterative paradigm, offering a new path for applying large language models to financial strategy research.
