# Open-source AI trading agents: documentation audit, October 2026

Version 1.0.0 · compiled by InvestingStack · editor David Bartas

20 repositories were reviewed on 8–9 October 2026. The JSON is the original audit, unchanged. The CSV is a machine-readable export. dictionary.json describes every field and null semantics. manifest.json lists SHA-256 file hashes.

This is a documentation review, not a software execution test, trading-performance benchmark or safety certification. Capabilities and maintainer claims are recorded as documented, not independently proven. Selection is editorial and not a representative sample of all trading software. FinRL and Freqtrade are comparison frameworks, not LLM agents.

## Provenance limitation

The original audit did not record upstream commit hashes or full source snapshots. Source references point to mutable default branches. The exact historical source state cannot therefore be reconstructed from this packet alone. The hashes identify these published audit files, not the reviewed upstream repositories. Do not describe this audit as commit-pinned or completely reproducible.
