What does Scout do?
Scout is a CLI-based AI trading assistant. You describe a trading idea in plain English, and Scout helps generate strategy code, validate it, save iterations, and run backtests.
Is Scout a budgeting app or financial advisor?
No. Scout is not a budgeting app and does not provide personal financial advice. It is a developer and trader tool for algorithmic investing workflows, market research, strategy generation, and backtesting.
Which markets and broker workflows does Scout support?
Scout supports stock and crypto strategy workflows, with Alpaca and Binance integrations documented today. Broker support is designed around paper trading, live trading workflows, and inspectable strategy code.
Does Scout execute trades automatically?
Scout can support broker-connected workflows, but generated strategies should be reviewed and tested before live use. The core value is faster strategy development, validation, and backtesting, not black-box investment advice.
