What is agent-trading-arena CLAUDE.md?

A cryptocurrency futures trading simulator where AI agents compete using live Kraken Futures data. It supports command-line runs, configuration files, an API dashboard, a React frontend, optional learning tools, and historical data management.

Use it to run trading simulations, create configuration templates, start the API or frontend, manage historical data, lint the Python code, and run tests.

It provides a documented way to install the simulator, run competitions or demos, check code, and work with its data and dashboard.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.09768	$0.09768
Opus 5.5	$0.03907	$0.03907

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-trading-arena CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Project Overview

Agent Arena is an AI-powered cryptocurrency futures trading simulation where LLM-based agents compete using real Kraken Futures market data. Agents make trading decisions on crypto futures (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE) and compete on a profitability leaderboard.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
