Integration with Existing FIML Components¶

1. Agent Orchestrator¶

• Workflows use existing AgentOrchestrator for parallel execution
• Leverages Ray for distributed processing
• Integrates with all 7 specialized workers:
• FundamentalsWorker
• TechnicalWorker
• SentimentWorker
• NewsWorker
• RiskWorker
• CorrelationWorker
• MacroWorker

2. Provider Registry¶

• Workflows use provider_registry for data access
• Multi-provider aggregation with arbitration
• Automatic fallback on provider failures
• Support for all existing providers:
• Yahoo Finance
• FMP (Financial Modeling Prep)
• CCXT (Crypto exchanges)
• Alpha Vantage
• Mock Provider

3. LLM Integration¶

• Workflows integrate with AzureOpenAIClient
• Narrative generation from analysis results
• Configurable timeout and retry logic
• Graceful degradation when LLM unavailable

4. Cache System¶

• Workflows benefit from existing cache architecture
• L1 (Redis) and L2 (PostgreSQL) caching
• Cache warming for popular symbols
• Latency optimization

Usage Examples¶

Example 1: Basic Equity Analysis¶

from fiml.agents import deep_equity_analysis

result = await deep_equity_analysis("AAPL")

print(f"Price: ${result.snapshot['price']:.2f}")
print(f"Recommendation: {result.recommendation['action']}")
print(f"Narrative:\n{result.narrative}")

Example 2: Crypto Trading Signals¶

from fiml.agents import crypto_sentiment_analysis

result = await crypto_sentiment_analysis("BTC", exchange="binance")

print(f"Signal: {result.signals['signal']}")
print(f"Strength: {result.signals['strength']}/100")
print(f"Indicators: {result.signals['indicators']}")

Example 3: Batch Processing¶

import asyncio

symbols = ["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOGL"]
results = await asyncio.gather(
    *[deep_equity_analysis(s) for s in symbols]
)

for symbol, result in zip(symbols, results):
    print(f"{symbol}: {result.recommendation['action']}")

Example 4: Error Handling¶

result = await deep_equity_analysis("INVALID")

if result.status == WorkflowStatus.FAILED:
    print(f"Error: {result.error}")
elif result.status == WorkflowStatus.PARTIAL:
    print(f"Partial: {result.steps_completed}/{result.steps_total}")
    # Still process available data

Performance Characteristics¶

Execution Times¶

Optimization Features¶

1. Parallel Execution: Ray-based agent parallelization
2. Provider Caching: L1/L2 cache with warming
3. Optional Narrative: Skip LLM for faster results
4. Batch Processing: Concurrent workflow execution
5. Partial Results: Graceful degradation on failures

Advanced Features¶

1. Custom Recommendation Logic¶

from fiml.agents.workflows import DeepEquityAnalysisWorkflow

class CustomWorkflow(DeepEquityAnalysisWorkflow):
    async def _generate_recommendation(self, *args):
        # Custom scoring logic
        score = self._custom_calculation()
        return {
            "action": "BUY" if score > 75 else "HOLD",
            "custom_metric": score
        }

2. Workflow Extension¶

class ExtendedWorkflow(DeepEquityAnalysisWorkflow):
    async def execute(self, symbol, **kwargs):
        # Pre-processing
        symbol = self._validate_symbol(symbol)

        # Execute base workflow
        result = await super().execute(symbol, **kwargs)

        # Post-processing
        result.custom_data = self._enrich_result(result)

        return result

3. Custom LLM Client¶

from fiml.llm import AzureOpenAIClient

llm_client = AzureOpenAIClient(
    timeout=60,
    max_retries=5,
    deployment_name="gpt-4-turbo"
)

workflow = DeepEquityAnalysisWorkflow(llm_client=llm_client)

Error Handling & Resilience¶

Built-in Error Handling¶

1. Provider Failures: Automatic fallback to mock data
2. LLM Timeouts: Graceful narrative unavailability
3. Orchestrator Issues: Degraded mode operation
4. Partial Data: Continue with available information
5. Network Errors: Retry logic with exponential backoff

Status Tracking¶

WorkflowStatus.PENDING     # Not started
WorkflowStatus.RUNNING     # In progress
WorkflowStatus.COMPLETED   # Success
WorkflowStatus.FAILED      # Complete failure
WorkflowStatus.PARTIAL     # Some steps succeeded

Quality Metrics¶

• Data Quality Score: Percentage of available data sections (0-100%)
• Confidence Score: Overall confidence in results (0-1)
• Execution Time: Milliseconds to complete
• Steps Completed: Progress tracking
