```

### 2. Risk Parity Optimization

```typescript

// Result has equal risk contribution from each asset
console.log('Risk-Balanced Weights:', result.weights);
```

### 3. Black-Litterman with Views

const marketCapWeights = [0.40, 0.35, 0.25];
const optimizer = new BlackLittermanOptimizer(
  assets,
  correlationMatrix,
  marketCapWeights,
  2.5, // risk aversion
);

const views = [
  { assets: [0], expectedReturn: 0.15, confidence: 0.7 }, // Bullish on AAPL

const optimizer = new MultiObjectiveOptimizer(
  assets,
  correlationMatrix,
  historicalReturns,
);

const result = optimizer.optimize({
  return: 1.0,   // Weight on return
  risk: 1.0,     // Weight on risk
  drawdown: 0.8, // Weight on drawdown
});

console.log('Multi-Objective Weights:', result.weights);
```

```typescript
import { SelfLearningOptimizer } from '@neural-trader/example-portfolio-optimization';

const learner = new SelfLearningOptimizer('./portfolio-memory.db');

    { minWeight: 0.10, maxWeight: 0.35 },
  ],
  assets,

  console.log(`${regime}: ${insights.bestAlgorithm}`);
}
```

const riskManager = new AdaptiveRiskManager(learner);

const adjustedWeights = await riskManager.calculatePositionSizes(
  baseWeights,
  marketConditions,
  0.95, // confidence level
);

const shouldRebalance = await riskManager.shouldRebalance(
  currentWeights,
  targetWeights,
  0.05, // 5% threshold
);
```

## Algorithms Overview

### Mean-Variance (Markowitz)

Maximizes portfolio Sharpe ratio by finding optimal balance between expected return and risk. Uses gradient descent optimization with constraint projection.

**Best For**: Maximizing risk-adjusted returns with specific return targets.

### Risk Parity

Equalizes risk contribution from each asset. All assets contribute equally to portfolio volatility.

**Best For**: Balanced diversification, stable risk profiles.

### Black-Litterman

Combines market equilibrium (implied by market cap weights) with investor views using Bayesian updating.

**Best For**: Incorporating fundamental analysis and market insights.

### Multi-Objective

Simultaneously optimizes for return, risk (volatility), and maximum drawdown using Pareto-optimal solutions.

**Best For**: Complex risk management, minimizing tail risk.

## Self-Learning System

The self-learning optimizer uses:

- **Decision Transformer**: RL algorithm for learning optimal risk parameters
- **AgentDB Memory**: Persistent storage of trajectories and insights
- **Experience Replay**: Similarity search for relevant past experiences
- **Adaptive Parameters**: Dynamic adjustment based on market conditions

Learning improves over time by:
1. Tracking strategy success rates
2. Adapting risk profiles to market conditions
3. Learning from similar historical scenarios
4. Distilling insights into long-term memory

## Benchmark Swarm Features

- **Concurrent Execution**: Runs multiple optimizations in parallel
- **Algorithm Comparison**: Ranks algorithms by Sharpe ratio
- **Constraint Impact**: Analyzes effect of different constraints
- **Market Regimes**: Tests robustness across conditions
- **AI Recommendations**: OpenRouter-powered strategy suggestions

- Memory retrieval: <10ms (with HNSW indexing)

## Dependencies

- **@neural-trader/predictor**: Neural prediction models
- **@neural-trader/core**: Core trading utilities
- **agentdb**: Vector database with RL capabilities

# Optional: OpenRouter API key for AI recommendations
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

## Best Practices

1. **Start Simple**: Begin with Mean-Variance before exploring other algorithms
2. **Use Constraints**: Always set min/max weight bounds for realistic portfolios
3. **Learn Continuously**: Update self-learning system with actual performance
4. **Test Regimes**: Validate strategies across different market conditions
5. **Monitor Drift**: Use adaptive risk manager to detect when rebalancing is needed

## Limitations

- Assumes returns are normally distributed (for Mean-Variance)
- Historical correlations may not predict future relationships
- Optimization is sensitive to return/volatility estimates
- Self-learning requires sufficient historical data
- Gradient descent may find local optima
