Axiom: A trade helper

Axiom is a conversational AI trading agent built entirely on Alpaca's paper trading stack. Instead of a traditional trading UI with a chatbot bolted on, the agent itself is the sole execution path — every trade happens through natural language, with the agent proposing a specific contract and waiting for explicit confirmation before it ever touches the account. Under the hood, Axiom runs on LangGraph connected to Alpaca's official MCP server, giving it real-time quotes, options chains, news, and order execution as native tools — not scraped or simulated data. For its recommendation mode, we trained a separate machine learning model per ticker (AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, and others), using a rigorous, leakage-free methodology: chronological train/test splits, precision-based evaluation instead of misleading accuracy, and a rolling backtest across dozens of historical windows rather than a single lucky split. The model's direction and confidence signal feeds a rules layer that selects the actual options strategy — calls, puts, or defined-risk spreads — depending on both predicted direction and volatility, so the strategy always matches the market condition, not just a price guess. The interface itself, AXIOM Markets, is a dark trading-terminal dashboard showing live candlestick charts, session and fundamentals data, and a persistent agent chat panel where every decision — and its reasoning — is visible before it's ever acted on.
