The four pieces
Minerva AI is built from four composable pieces that talk to each other in a loop. The chat is the interface — you describe what you want in plain English. Minerva drives the other apps on your machine. EvoAI talks to MetaTrader. The EA does the actual trading.
- The desktop app — a single workspace where you describe what you want to trade, the system runs the discovery, validation, and deployment, and you can take over manually whenever you want.
- NN Lab — deep reinforcement learning. Trains DQN, R2D2, GRU on your historical bar data.
- GA Lab — genetic programming. Evolves readable trading rules from primitives.
- EvoAI — the bridge. Drives MetaTrader 4 or 5 under Wine and harvests backtest reports.
- Minerva AI EA — the executor. 14 strategy modules wired together with configurable voting.
Each piece is useful on its own. The chat ties them together but isn’t strictly required.
