Read-only gates of autonomous trading agents with deterministic execution: cost, data, validation. It has 42 GitHub stars, is released under the MIT license and runs locally with uvx bitra.

Autonomous trading agents with deterministic execution. The agents propose; the system decides. TRA (trading research agents) is published as bitra on PyPI and runs as tra. Before 0.10.1 the package was called trading-research-agents, and the same package is still published under that name.
