FAQ

Is TradeArena a trading bot?

No. TradeArena is a benchmark, simulator, and audit framework. It does not promise profitable trading and does not execute live trades by default.

Does the quickstart require API keys?

No. The recommended first-run showcase uses deterministic agents, tracked demo artifacts, and synthetic/local data.

Can I use live model or data APIs?

Yes. Advanced experiments can use model and data providers, but this should be explicit and optional. Raw provider caches and credentials should stay out of Git.

What should go in an issue?

Good issues include:

• reproducible bug reports
• new benchmark requests
• data adapter proposals
• risk module ideas
• execution simulator extensions
• small demo requests

What should not be claimed?

Do not present TradeArena as financial advice, a profitable live trading system, or a guarantee of model performance.
