Could you build this?
Partial The frontend, LLM prompt engineering, and backtesting framework integration can be vibe-coded, but building an accurate institutional backtesting engine with point-in-time financial data feeds and survivorship bias handling requires domain expertise and expensive data pipelines.
What it would actually take: A realistic version requires high-quality, point-in-time historical market datasets (pricing, corporate actions, fundamentals from providers like Polygon, FactSet, or QuantConnect). The architecture would couple an LLM reasoning engine to parse natural language into executable Python/vectorized strategy code (e.g., Backtrader, VectorBT, or Qlib) running in secure sandboxes. The primary challenge is avoiding lookahead/survivorship bias and ensuring financial accuracy, requiring quantitative finance engineering.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
