Six specialized analysts (fundamentals, technical, sentiment, valuation, growth, macro) run in parallel, optional LLM personas (e.g., buffett, burry) can be injected, and a risk manager enforces volatility/correlation caps before the portfolio manager emits sized trades. It's a practical, hands-on starter for experimenting with agent-driven trading ideas — sensible defaults include a rule-based mode that needs no API keys — but it sits in a crowded, speculative space and lacks evidence of robust backtesting or live performance.
