Agentic Trading: When LLM Agents Meet Financial Markets
The paper titled 'Agentic Trading: When LLM Agents Meet Financial Markets' explores the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) in trading systems. It highlights the challenges of protocol incomparability and the lack of reproducibility in existing studies. The authors suggest that while architectural experimentation is growing, the field faces significant bottlenecks in evaluation protocols and reproducible artifacts.
- ▪The paper presents an audit-oriented evidence map of 77 studies related to LLM-based trading agents.
- ▪Only 2 out of 19 studies in the primary empirical subset report extractable time-consistent split protocols.
- ▪The authors emphasize the need for improved evaluation protocols and reproducibility in the field.
