Strategy generation and backtest analysis require an LLM. Set at least one of the following:

Variable	Provider

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	Anthropic (Claude)
GEMINI_API_KEY	Google (Gemini)
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY	DeepSeek
XAI_API_KEY	xAI (Grok)

Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint is supported via litellm.

Network Proxy

If your network requires a proxy to reach LLM APIs:

Variable	Description	Example
HTTPS_PROXY	HTTPS proxy URL	http://127.0.0.1:7890

Data & Exchange

Variable	Description	Default
VIBETRADING_DEFAULT_EXCHANGE	Default exchange for data downloads	binance

Using a .env File

Create a .env file in your project root. The package loads it automatically at import time:

# .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890

See .env.dev_example for a full template.
