Lumibot vs OpenAlice
====================

OpenAlice has a strong "one-person Wall Street" concept: an AI agent that
researches, sizes, manages, and exits trades across markets.

Lumibot is different because it starts from the Python strategy and broker
framework. You can build a simple deterministic strategy, a single AI agent, or
a multi-agent trading team, then backtest and inspect that strategy before
moving toward paper or live trading.

Where OpenAlice Fits
********************

OpenAlice is useful when you want an agent-product concept around a full
trading lifecycle: research, entry, management, risk, and exit.

Where Lumibot Fits
******************

Use Lumibot when you want developer control over the strategy code and the
ability to test the same logic in a backtest and broker context.

Lumibot supports:

- copy-paste Python strategy examples
- deterministic gates plus AI agent reasoning
- multi-agent teams such as researcher, bull, bear, and trader agents
- backtest charts, orders, logs, traces, memory, and tearsheets
- supported broker integrations for paper and live workflows
- BotSpot when you want hosted backtests, deployment, monitoring, alerts, MCP,
  and kill-switch controls

Short Version
*************

OpenAlice is a strong agent-product concept. Lumibot is the Python trading
framework for developers who want the code, backtests, artifacts, and broker
paths behind an AI trading agent.
