"Hindsight Alpha team on Alpaca AI Trading Agents Hackathon Hackathon"

Team Idea

An options trading agent on Alpaca that refuses to trust its own parameter selection until it's checked for hindsight leakage. Built on hindsight_guard, a small library that re-scores every strategy candidate on two windows (full vs in-sample-only) and flags when a 'winning' parameter only wins because the scoring window secretly included data that would not have been knowable yet at decision time -- the same failure mode as look-ahead bias in a backtest. Runs on Alpaca paper trading, no real funds.

Hindsight Alpha — options agent, leak-checked

An autonomous options agent on Alpaca (CLI) that scores every parameter twice — full history vs. only what was knowable — and refuses to trade when the winners disagree. Every run and every refusal is logged and published to a live dashboard.
