Who it is forA learner who backtested a strategy and wants to see how it behaves going forward before any real money.
The problemBacktests look good in hindsight; you need a forward test that cannot peek at the future.
The outcomeA saved paper account that moves forward one completed day at a time and never touches a broker.
What you need first
- Python 3.11 or later for a local install, or Docker
- An LLM API key from a supported provider, or Ollama locally
- Market data works without keys for many markets through free fallbacks
Steps
- Install or upgrade with
pip install -U vibe-trading-ai - Create and manage saved paper accounts with
vibe-trading paper, or from the REST API or Web page - Let the agent match orders or a strategy against completed daily bars with the paper_trade_step tool
- Check the account each day; saved accounts only move forward
Prompt for your agent
Using HKUDS/Vibe-Trading, create a saved paper account and paper trade <strategy> on <symbols> against completed daily bars. Each day report positions, cash and PnL, and confirm no broker connector is enabled.
Caveat. Paper fills on completed daily bars ignore real slippage and liquidity, and live broker trading is marked experimental. Not financial advice: paper trade first, and remember you can lose money.
