Yahoo Finance is the working primary out of the box — no key, no signup, nothing to configure. Your uploaded datasets always take top priority. When you're ready, add your own data API below and it slots in between your uploads and Yahoo automatically.

Source Priority Auto — uploads → your API → Yahoo → synthetic Yahoo only

Your Data API Key (optional — example adapter: Massive)

Any provider can be wired in as an adapter (ports/market/ — one module per source; Massive ships as the reference example). Without any key the system runs fully on Yahoo; synthetic bars only appear if every real source fails.

Paper trading (uncheck for live — real money, real orders)

Any brokerage can be added the same way Alpaca was — implement the BrokerPort contract (connect / place_order / cancel_order / get_positions) and register it; it appears here automatically. Get free paper-trading keys at alpaca.markets.

The Director is the competence layer — deep judgment, plans, adjudication (orchestrator / reasoner / tuner roles). The Executor carries out direction — tool runs, chat, routine analysis. Point each tier at any model: cloud director + local executor, or fully local — same feel either way.

Mode Off — legacy per-role models Tiered — director directs, executor executes
