Audit this Python snippet for a Mean Reversion bot. Check for look-ahead bias in the RSI calculation and verify if the stop-loss logic handles gap-downs. Rank findings by severity.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the ai trading bot
I have audited the Mean Reversion bot logic. The review identified a critical look-ahead bias in the signal generation and insufficient handling of overnight price gaps.
Adversarial Audit Report
Executive Verdict
Verdict: Needs Major Fixes. The strategy relies on future data for entry signals, making backtest results invalid.
Findings Table
| ID | Severity | Evidence | Component | Problem | Impact | Recommended Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 001 | Critical | Confirmed | Signal Logic | RSI uses df['close'] at index i for signal at i-1 | 100% Look-ahead bias | Shift signal window by 1 period |
| 002 | High | Confirmed | Exit Logic | Stop-loss assumes fill at exact price | Ignores slippage/gaps | Use limit orders or simulated slippage |
| 003 | Medium | Indication | Risk | No max daily drawdown | Uncapped daily loss | Implement a daily circuit breaker |
Logic Walkthrough
The bot calculates RSI on a rolling window that includes the current closing price to decide an entry for the same period. In a live environment, this price is unknown at the time of the calculation. Additionally, the stop-loss function check_exit() uses a simple comparison that fails to account for market gaps where the opening price is significantly below the stop trigger.
Failure Scenarios
The "Perfect" Backtest: The bot shows 90% win rate in testing because it effectively "sees" the close before entering, but will fail immediately in live trading.
2.
Flash Crash/Gap: An overnight gap down of 5% would bypass the if price <= stop_loss check if the logic only triggers on specific price touches rather than boundary breaches.
Next steps
- Correct the RSI window indexing to ensure only historical data is used for the current signal.
- Add a slippage model (e.g., 5-10 bps) to the backtest environment to test sensitivity.
- Implement an explicit check for price gaps in the exit logic.

About this skill
Trading bots generated by AI often hide catastrophic flaws like look-ahead bias, unrealistic slippage assumptions, or missing kill switches. This skill acts as an adversarial auditor to find these failure modes before you risk capital.
What it does
- Detect Logic Flaws by tracing signal generation, entry/exit triggers, and order management code for defects.
- Identify Backtest Bias including look-ahead bias, data leakage, survivorship bias, and cherry-picked results.
- Audit Risk Controls by inspecting stop-loss logic, position sizing, exposure limits, and drawdown safeguards.
- Evaluate Execution Realism to ensure commissions, spreads, slippage, and market impact are correctly modeled.
- Assess Deployment Readiness by reviewing logging, error handling, API disconnect recovery, and stale price detection.
How it works
- Quick Reality Check provides a high-level scan of strategy claims and obvious validation gaps.
- Code Logic Audit traces data transformations and order handling to confirm specific implementation defects.
- Risk-Control Audit evaluates the effectiveness of safety mechanisms like kill switches and exposure limits.
- Fix-First Plan generates a prioritized list of corrections required before moving to paper or live trading.
Frameworks & tools
Works with any algorithmic trading stack including Python (Pandas, Backtrader, Zipline), Pine Script, MQL4/5, C++, and REST/WebSocket API integrations for major brokerages.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic AI prompts often suffer from confirmation bias and fail to check for subtle quantitative errors like timestamp misalignment. This skill uses an adversarial framework designed to falsify claims and uncover hidden edge cases that standard code reviews miss.
Use cases
- Auditing AI-generated Python trading scripts for hidden look-ahead bias.
- Reviewing Pine Script strategies for unrealistic backtest performance claims.
- Verifying risk management logic in automated crypto trading bots.
- Assessing deployment readiness for algorithmic systems before moving from backtest to paper trading.
Known limitations
Does not execute live trades or connect to brokerage APIs. Requires manual provision of code or strategy logic for analysis. Cannot guarantee future profitability or prevent all market losses.
Cannot execute trades or access live brokerages. Requires user to provide source code or strategy logic. Findings are based on static analysis and logic tracing, not live market execution.
