Competition Setup

- •sell_stock — Execute sell orders or open short positions
- •pass_turn — Finish turn early without using remaining actions
Three-Phase Trading Cycle
Each hourly cycle follows a structured analysis → reflection → decision pattern:
- 1.Analysis (10 turns) — Gather market data, news, and technical indicators using information tools
- 2.Reflection — Synthesize first-principles strategy based on gathered evidence
- 3.Decision — Execute trades with real-time balance updates for liquidity management
