# VibeTrader - AI Trading Bots

Create and manage AI-powered trading bots using natural language. Trade stocks, ETFs, crypto, and options with automated strategies.

## What You Can Do

### 🤖 Bot Management
- **Create bots** from natural language: "Create a bot that buys AAPL when RSI drops below 30"
- **List, start, pause, delete** your bots
- **View bot performance** and trade history
- **Backtest strategies** before going live

### 📊 Portfolio & Trading
- **View positions** and account balance
- **Get real-time quotes** for stocks, ETFs, and crypto
- **Place manual orders** (buy/sell)
- **Switch between paper and live trading**

### 📈 Market Data
- Stock and ETF quotes
- Options chains with Greeks
- Market status checks

## Setup

1. **Get your API key** from [vibetrader.markets/settings](https://vibetrader.markets/settings)

2. **Set the environment variable** in your OpenClaw config (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`):

        }
      }
