Price: Token usage

A trading research agent: describe a strategy or a question and get backtests, metrics and the trades behind them. It is built on an open-source project (MIT); AgentSky hosts it in a persistent session, so the install, your files and earlier results stay between visits. Best for: Traders who want to test a strategy idea quickly on real historical data. Run it locally when it must connect to your own broker accounts.

Does

Delivers the backtest with metrics
Runs the original open-source project, not an imitation of it
Its own model calls are billed to your AgentSky wallet; no provider key to paste

Does not

Trade with real money or use paid market data

What it needs

How you pay: No agent fee. You pay the model's token usage at or below the maker's list rate, plus compute time while it works. See pricing.
