The Azure Quant Momentum Agent is a production-grade, containerized quantitative research microservice. It bridges structured mathematical cross-sectional momentum screening with qualitative generative intelligence signals, deploying seamlessly via Docker.

🚀 WHAT MAKES THIS AGENT ELITE:

• Dual-Engine Architecture: Combines a high-performance R quantitative engine (Tidyquant) for rigorous statistical screening with a Python FastAPI gateway for asynchronous REST communication.

• Semantic AI Filtering: Automatically scrapes institutional news via Bing API and runs semantic sentiment gating via Microsoft Azure AI Foundry (LLM) to protect your capital from fundamentally decaying assets.

• Publication-Quality Output: Generates professional portfolio allocation tables (via gt/gtExtras) streamed directly to your host machine via active Docker volumes.

• Multi-Agent SDK Ready: Includes a native Python wrapper (agent_tool.py) allowing frameworks like CrewAI, LangChain, or AutoGen to plug into the service as a live autonomous Tool Node.

🛠️ PLUG & PLAY DEPLOYMENT:

With unified Docker Compose orchestration, a single command ('docker compose up --build') provisions the entire headless Linux environment, R/Python dependencies, and Chromium structures instantly.

Perfect for quantitative researchers, algo traders, and AI developers looking to add a true mathematical edge to their agent stacks.
