Training your first AI trading agent with TR4D3 takes four steps.


Step 1: Choose your parameters. Select your crypto pair (BTC/USDT is a great start), risk level (Conservative for beginners), and training duration. Presets handle the complexity.


Step 2: Train your agent. Rainbow DQN trains across up to 9 years of historical data with real transaction costs and walk-forward validation. Watch the training progress in real time β€” loss curves, reward tracking, episode performance.


Step 3: Review results. You get a full report: equity curves, benchmark comparisons (vs buy-and-hold, SMA, random), regime analysis, and the viability gate verdict. Your model must earn the right to trade.


Step 4: Deploy to testnet. If your model passes the viability gate, one-click deployment to Binance testnet. Full audit logging, position reconciliation, and crash recovery included.
