Overview

Central YAML configuration file that defines all markets, agents, display settings, and operational parameters for the AI Trader web dashboard.

Description

The docs/config.yaml file is the single source of truth for the AI Trader frontend dashboard. It defines multi-market configurations (US Nasdaq-100, A-Shares SSE-50, A-Shares hourly), each with their own agent lists, benchmark files, currency settings, data directories, and display options. It also contains global settings for data paths, benchmark display, Chart.js rendering parameters, UI defaults (initial cash, date formats), and caching behavior. The file is loaded at runtime by ConfigLoader via HTTP fetch and parsed with js-yaml.

Usage

Edit this file to add/remove markets, enable/disable agents, change benchmark settings, or modify chart appearance. The dashboard reads it on every page load (unless cached).
