## Overview

We've added **four major features** to TradingAgents:

1. ✅ **Multi-LLM Provider Support** - Use Claude, GPT-4, or Gemini
2. ✅ **Paper Trading Integration** - Practice with real market data
3. ✅ **Web Interface** - Beautiful GUI for analysis and trading
4. ✅ **Docker Support** - One-command deployment

---

## 1. 🤖 Multi-LLM Provider Support

### What's New

You can now use **any LLM provider** for TradingAgents analysis:

- **Anthropic Claude** (Recommended for deep reasoning)
- **OpenAI GPT-4** (Proven performance)
- **Google Gemini** (Cost-effective alternative)

### Why It Matters

- **Choose the best model** for your needs
- **Save costs** with appropriate models for different tasks
- **Avoid vendor lock-in** - switch providers anytime
- **Use your existing subscription** - Claude, OpenAI, or Google

### How to Use

**1. Configure Provider**

Edit `.env`:

```bash
# Use Claude (Recommended!)
LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here

# Or use OpenAI
LLM_PROVIDER=openai
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here

# Or use Google
LLM_PROVIDER=google
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_key_here
```

**2. Run Example**

```python
from tradingagents.graph.trading_graph import TradingAgentsGraph
from tradingagents.default_config import DEFAULT_CONFIG

# Configure for Claude
config = DEFAULT_CONFIG.copy()
config["llm_provider"] = "anthropic"
config["deep_think_llm"] = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
config["quick_think_llm"] = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"

# Run analysis
ta = TradingAgentsGraph(config=config)
final_state, signal = ta.propagate("NVDA", "2024-05-10")

print(f"Signal: {signal}")
```

**3. Try It**

```bash
python examples/use_claude.py
```

### Recommended Models

| Provider | Deep Thinking | Quick Thinking | Budget |
|----------|---------------|----------------|---------|
| Anthropic | claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 | claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 | claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 |
