dsh-trading

dsh-trading

A trading research workbench built as plugins for DeepSeek Harness (dsh). No fork, no patched core — just a bundle you stack on the stock web or headless profile.

Status: early scaffold. dsh itself is in developer preview and moves fast; expect breaking changes on both sides.

Demo

▶ Watch the full 80-second demo with narration on YouTube — the agent answers with an interactive chart card, chips draw indicator panes from the exact per-bar series the model read, and annotate_chart puts levels on the chart through a trust gate: mandatory provenance, prices validated against the real candle window. All footage is a live session, no mockups.

Design

Five packages, one direction of dependency:

@dsh-trading/tool-market      model-facing tools (list_symbols, get_ohlcv,
                              market_snapshot) + the indicator library
        │  consumes
        ▼
@dsh-trading/market-data      the seam: ctx.marketData — typed candle/symbol interface
        ▲  implements
        │
@dsh-trading/provider-csv     reference provider: local CSV files

@dsh-trading/risk-guard       independent: refuses execution-shaped tool names
                              from any plugin, at dsh's tools/pre-execute gate

@dsh-trading/client-chart     web-only: candlestick cards for market_snapshot /
                              get_ohlcv results in dsh web (no host capability)

• market-data defines the seam and nothing else (its only peer is cordis). Every consumer talks to ctx.marketData; every data source hides behind MarketDataProvider.
• provider-csv is the bring-your-own-data template: ~100 lines, local <root>/<symbol>/<timeframe>.csv files. Copy it to put ClickHouse, a broker API, or CCXT behind the same interface — tools upstream never change.
• tool-market registers read-only analysis tools on ctx.tools. market_snapshot returns a whole multi-timeframe indicator regime in one call (RSI, slow stochastic, ADX/DI, MACD, MFI, ATR, SMA/EMA posture, Bollinger) with coarse state labels; get_ohlcv serves raw bars when structure matters. The indicator math is pure and deterministic — textbook definitions with Wilder smoothing where Wilder defined it — so values reconcile against any charting platform and a session-log replay recomputes identical model-visible numbers.
• bundle/trading wires the rows into a dsh profile via cordis.patch.yml. Users repoint or replace the market-data-provider row from their own profile patch — that row swap is the BYO mechanism.

Why this and not another finance plugin?

Data plugins hard-wire one source; dsh-trading defines the seam they can all plug into. Quant toolkits ship one tool per indicator; market_snapshot returns the whole multi-timeframe regime in one call, with state labels computed from the rounded reported values so chart and number never disagree. And everyone else's "research only" is a README sentence — ours is a tools/pre-execute gate you can test.

Hard boundary: research only

This project deliberately has no order-execution capability and no execution seam. Tools read data and compute; nothing places, routes, or simulates-then-forwards orders. Contributions adding live trading execution are out of scope. Nothing here is investment advice.

@dsh-trading/risk-guard extends that stance over plugins this project does not ship: it refuses order-execution and fund-movement tool names at dsh's tools/pre-execute gate, so mounting a broker plugin in a trading profile does not quietly gain the ability to trade. Name matching is a heuristic and cannot be complete — the guard is defense in depth, not the guarantee. The guarantee is structural: there is no execution seam to reach.

Data format (CSV provider)

data/
  AAPL/
    1d.csv        # header: time,open,high,low,close,volume
  BTC-USDT/
    1h.csv        # ISO-8601 UTC bar-open times, ascending

Try it with dsh

One command — the published bundle pulls every plugin package from npm:

dsh plugin --profile trading add @dsh-trading/bundle

pnpm install && pnpm build
node examples/generate-sample-data.mjs

dsh plugin --profile trading add ./bundle/trading \
    ./packages/market-data ./packages/provider-csv ./packages/tool-market \
    ./packages/risk-guard ./packages/client-chart

Add "@deepseek-ai/dsh-headless" (or "@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app") after @deepseek-ai/dsh-base in the profile's dsh.profile.bundles list ($DSH_HOME/profiles/trading/package.json) to pick a surface, configure a model key (environment DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, or the Models page under dsh web), and run from any directory whose ./data holds candles in the layout below:

cd examples && dsh --profile trading "pull DEMO-EQ daily candles with sma20/sma50 and describe the trend"

Verify the composed layers any time with dsh --profile trading --dump-config.

The Market Analyst preset

presets/analyst/ is an agent preset that turns the raw tools into a structured analysis workflow: it scopes the request first (horizon, focus, timeframes), then reports higher-timeframe context, a key-level table, the multi-timeframe indicator regime with conflicts named rather than averaged away, bull and bear scenarios with triggers and invalidation, and the levels that resolve the ambiguity. Install it and pick Market Analyst in the session's preset menu:

mkdir -p "$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets" && cp -r presets/analyst "${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}/.agent-presets/"

The persona holds the research boundary in prose the way risk-guard holds it in code: report what the data shows, never recommend a position or an entry.

Chart cards in dsh web

Under the web surface, market_snapshot and get_ohlcv results render as interactive candlestick cards (@dsh-trading/client-chart): K-line + volume + SMA20/50/200, timeframe tabs, and a chip strip showing the exact indicator values the model read. The chart data rides the durable tool/result event's presentation metadata — it never enters the model's context (zero token cost) and it replays with the session log. The chart pane draws only unambiguous math (candles, SMA, volume); every other indicator appears as the RegimeSnapshot's own numbers, so the card can never contradict the analysis text beside it. Headless profiles ignore the package; without it, dsh falls back to the generic text card.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm typecheck
pnpm build

Roadmap

• Profile template + docs for stacking onto dsh --profile web
• Chart cards in dsh web (@dsh-trading/client-chart): market_snapshot / get_ohlcv render as interactive candlesticks with chip-toggled indicator panes
• annotate_chart: model-authored levels/zones/paths with mandatory provenance and a hard price-range gate, plus base/alternative scenarios — rendered on the card with a levels table
• Open contracts for ecosystem builders (CONTRACTS.md): chart payload, open annotation envelope, pure-renderer registry
• Chart panel deepening: user-drawing feedback to the agent, @Remote host service for pan-back data
• Watch/alert contract (notify-only), @dsh-trading/contracts package, conformance fixtures
• Research-journal session events (hypotheses, signals — replayable)
• Deterministic backtest runner as a ctx.commands CLI command (never model-executed)
• More providers: Parquet, ClickHouse, CCXT
