- Abstract: The financial market is a mission-critical playground for AI agents due to its temporal dynamics and low signal-to-noise ratio. Building an effective algorithmic trading system may require a professional team to develop and test over the years. In this paper, we propose an orchestration framework for financial agents, which aims to democratize financial intelligence to the general public. We map each component of the traditional algorithmic trading system to agents, including planner, orchestrator, alpha agents, risk agents, portfolio agents, backtest agents, execution agents, audit agents, and memory agent. We present two in-house trading examples. For the stock trading task (hourly data from 04/2024 to 12/2024), our approach achieved a return of $20.42\%$, a Sharpe ratio of 2.63, and a maximum drawdown of $-3.59\%$, while the S&P 500 index yielded a return of $15.97\%$. For the BTC trading task (minute data from 27/07/2025 to 13/08/2025), our approach achieved a return of $8.39\%$, a Sharpe ratio of $0.38$, and a maximum drawdown of $-2.80\%$, whereas the BTC price increased by $3.80\%$. Our code is available on \href{https://github.com/Open-Finance-Lab/AgenticTrading}{GitHub}.

We study the role of contextual information in the online learning problem of brokerage between traders.<n>In this sequential problem, at each time step, two traders arrive with secret valuations about an asset they wish to trade.<n>The learner (a broker) suggests a trading (or brokerage) price based on contextual data about the asset and the market conditions.<n>Then, the traders reveal their willingness to buy or sell based on whether their valuations are higher or lower than the brokerage price.

We show that the optimal rate degrades to $sqrtT$ in the first case, and the problem becomes unlearnable in the second.

This introduces the problem of finding an optimal strategy for choosing price intervals.
We formalize this problem as an online learning problem with non-stochastic rewards.

The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market experienced explosive growth in 2021, with a monthly trade volume reaching $6 billion in January 2022.
Concerns have emerged about possible wash trading, a form of market manipulation in which one party repeatedly trades an NFT to inflate its volume artificially.
We find that wash trading affects 5.66% of all NFT collections, with a total artificial volume of $3,406,110,774.
