TL;DR

This work introduces META (Memory Enhanced Trading Agent), the first RAG-like episodic-memory-augmented multi-agent framework for financial decision making and demonstrates that episodic memory provides a powerful mechanism for regime-aware, interpretable, and low-latency decision-making in trading and decision making.

Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in financial analysis and reasoning, inspiring recent advances in agent-based trading frameworks. While these systems show promise, prior approaches either emphasize long-horizon forecasting or operate as stateless analyzers, limiting their applicability to the demands of trading in complicated settings. To address these gaps, we introduce META (Memory Enhanced Trading Agent), the first RAG-like episodic-memory-augmented multi-agent framework for financial decision making. META integrates a family of specialized indicator agents (e.g., Trend, MACD, Stochastic, RSI, SMA, AVWAP, Heikin-Ashi) with a Decision Agent that fuses their reports, and a Memory module that retrieves and updates past trading episodes encoded as market state embeddings with outcomes and reflections. By recalling relevant experiences and adaptively reweighting signals under similar market regimes, META achieves improved directional accuracy and robustness under short-horizon evaluation. Our results demonstrate that episodic memory provides a powerful mechanism for regime-aware, interpretable, and low-latency decision-making in trading and decision making. The code of this project is released on GitHub.

ActiveMem: Dynamic Latent Memory Trees for Long-Horizon Agents

ActiveMem is proposed, a hierarchical memory framework that recursively organizes agent experiences into dependency-aware latent execution trees while explicitly preserving execution transitions, enabling coherent reasoning-path retrieval conditioned on the current execution state.

ForeDreamer: A Self-Evolving Dual-Agent Memory Architecture for Future Event Prediction

Open-web future event prediction requires agents to distill reliable signals from noisy, redundant, and incomplete evidence. Existing retrieval/memory mechanisms directly feed retrieved information to agents or rely on simple memory functions such as storing and reusing prior information for prediction, leaving them in...

Self-Evolving Time-Series Forecasting Agents with Episodic Memory and Online Policy Learning

LLM-based agents are increasingly used for time-series forecasting because they can organise contextual information, perform multi-step analysis, and guide the sequence of actions required to complete forecasting tasks. Most existing agents focus only on the current forecasting instance. However, in real-world deployme...
