Research Agent
The Research Agent helps you understand the market before you build an algorithm or place a trade.
Use it to investigate assets, compare market structure, summarize chart context, monitor narratives, and turn research into concrete trade or strategy ideas. It is designed for the first step of the trading workflow: forming a view of what is happening and where there may be opportunity.
What It Helps With
Section titled “What It Helps With”- Market research — analyze individual assets, sectors, trends, volatility, funding, liquidity, and recent price action.
- Chart context — summarize technical conditions and identify levels, regimes, momentum shifts, and invalidation areas.
- Narrative tracking — collect and organize market themes, catalysts, and news context relevant to a trade or strategy idea.
- Idea generation — turn research into candidate discretionary setups or algorithm concepts for further testing.
- Preparation for build and trade workflows — hand off researched ideas to the Algorithm Builder Agent or use them to guide discretionary trading decisions.
How It Fits With The Other Agents
Section titled “How It Fits With The Other Agents”| Agent | Primary job |
|---|---|
| Research Agent | research markets and develop trade or strategy ideas |
| Algorithm Builder Agent | build, backtest, optimize, deploy, and monitor algorithms |
| Auto-Trading Agent | watch markets, validate setups, execute trades, and manage positions autonomously |
The Research Agent does not replace backtesting or risk controls. Treat its output as research and decision support, then validate ideas through the Build, Test, Run, or discretionary trading workflows.
