Agent Memory with Episodic Retrieval for Financial Decision-Making

META (Memory Enhanced Trading Agent) is a new agent-based trading framework that augments large language models with episodic memory. It combines specialized indicator agents—such as Trend, MACD, Stochastic, RSI, SMA, AVWAP, and Heikin‑Ashi—with a Decision Agent that fuses their reports, while a Memory module retrieves and updates past trading episodes encoded as market state embeddings with outcomes and reflections. By recalling relevant experiences and adaptively reweighting signals under similar market regimes, META improves directional accuracy and robustness in short‑horizon evaluations, offering regime‑aware, interpretable, and low‑latency decision‑making for financial trading.

Can Agentic Trading Systems Pay for Their Own Intelligence?

arXiv:2607. 10286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used in trading systems, where model reasoning, tool use, and continual decisions incur costs that are expected to produce trading value.

LiveOption: Evaluating LLM Agents in Structured Option Trading with Nonlinear Payoffs

LiveOption is an evaluation framework designed to assess large language model (LLM) agents in option trading, a domain characterized by nonlinear payoffs and multi-leg strategy construction. The framework treats option trading as structured sequential decision-making under realistic execution and capital constraints, offering a reproducible environment with standardized interaction protocols. It includes three task suites—portfolio overlays, event-driven earnings trading, and 0DTE intraday trading—and introduces a hierarchical metric suite that evaluates action validity, decision quality, risk characteristics, and outcome-level performance, revealing that current agents often fail to achieve competitive returns.
