We Open-Sourced Our Code Graph: 5,780 Nodes of Living Trading AI
We scanned our entire codebase. Here's what the AI found.
Most trading platforms hide their code behind NDAs. We did the opposite: we ran Graphify โ an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) analyzer powered by tree-sitter โ on our 231 Python files and published the interactive result.
5,780 nodes. 29,545 connections. Every class, function, import, and dependency โ mapped and visualized.
Explore the Code Graph โ click any node to see its connections.
Two graphs, two perspectives
Strategy Arena now has two Knowledge Graphs:
| Graph | What it shows | Nodes | Edges |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concept Graph | Strategies, intelligence systems, oracles, arenas | 126 | 136 |
| Code Graph | Classes, functions, imports, dependencies | 5,780 | 29,545 |
The Concept Graph is hand-built and shows what the systems do. The Code Graph is auto-generated and shows how the code is structured. Together, they give a complete picture of the platform.
God Nodes โ the nervous system of the code
Graphify identifies God Nodes โ the most connected pieces of code. These are the structural pivots that everything depends on:
| Rank | Node | Connections | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | BaseStrategy | 896 | Every strategy inherits from this. Touch it, break everything. |
| #2 | Trade | 754 | The trade object used across all 59 strategies |
| #3 | main.py | 705 | The 15,530-line FastAPI application |
| #4 | Position | 611 | Position management for all strategies |
| #5 | MetaIntelligenceV3 | 468 | The brain that aggregates signals from all strategies |
| #6 | CentralHub | 467 | The communication hub between all systems |
| #7 | DeFiArenaEngine | 458 | The DeFi yield farming arena engine |
| #8 | FuturesArenaEngine | 458 | The leveraged futures arena engine |
These numbers tell a story: BaseStrategy with 896 connections means that every strategy in the arena shares the same DNA. When we improve BaseStrategy, all 59 strategies benefit. When we break it, everything breaks.
How we use this data
The Code Graph isn't just for show:
-
Refactoring priorities: God nodes with high connection counts need careful handling. We know not to touch
BaseStrategywithout comprehensive tests. -
Dead code detection: Nodes with 0-1 connections are potentially unused. The graph helps us clean up.
-
Split planning:
main.py(705 connections) is our 3rd god node โ confirmation that it needs to be split into smaller modules. The graph shows exactly which routes are coupled. -
Evolution guidance: The Darwin Engine can read the code structure to understand which strategies share code paths โ avoiding redundant mutations.
-
Living Wiki enrichment: God node data is injected into the Living Wiki, giving the Strategic Layer more context for generating hypotheses.
Why transparency matters
In a world where trading bots hide behind marketing copy, we believe in showing everything:
- Live Dashboard โ 59 strategies competing in real-time
- Knowledge Graph โ 126 nodes of conceptual connections
- Code Graph โ 5,780 nodes of actual code structure
- Strategy Health โ 7-framework evaluation, A+ to F
- Evolution Lab โ 9 engines evolving strategies nightly
- RAG vs Wiki โ how we transitioned beyond classic RAG
You don't need to trust us. You can explore the data yourself.
