Credentials. The sign-in is kept in ~/.tradingagents/chatgpt-auth.json, so treat that file like a password and log out on shared machines.
Who it is forSomeone who already pays for ChatGPT Plus or Pro and wants to try the framework without new API billing.
The problemSetting up and funding a new API account is a hurdle just to try a research tool.
The outcomeTrading Agents runs that count toward your ChatGPT plan's usage limits.
What you need first
- Python 3.11 or later, or Docker
- An API key for one supported LLM provider, a ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan, or local models through Ollama
- Optional data keys such as Alpha Vantage and FRED (free)
Steps
- Install the package with
pip install .in the cloned repo - Sign in with
tradingagents login chatgptand open the address it prints in your browser - In the CLI provider menu choose Subscription, or set
llm_provider: "chatgpt" - Run an analysis as usual; revoke access later with
tradingagents logout chatgpt
Prompt for your agent
Configure TauricResearch/TradingAgents to use my ChatGPT plan with tradingagents login chatgpt, run one analysis of <ticker> on <date>, and tell me where the sign-in file is stored so I can revoke it later.
Caveat. Runs use your plan's limits and the plan ignores temperature and max_tokens settings. Not financial advice: paper trade first, and remember you can lose money.
