Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. The README directs new users to MacOS or Windows application releases and states that the product can be accessed through valuecell.ai without deployment.
- The project supports multiple AI model providers, including OpenAI-compatible services, Google, OpenAI and DeepSeek.
- Documented market coverage includes US, crypto, Hong Kong and China markets.
- Binance, Hyperliquid and OKX are marked tested; Coinbase, Gate.io and MEXC are marked partially tested.
- Live trading requires exchange credentials and sufficient contract-account balance.
- The repository lists MCP, but specific MCP tool interfaces and configuration are not documented.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up Valuecell for an initial session
Install the Valuecell application and configure an AI model provider before first use.
Before you start
- A MacOS or Windows computer.
- The latest Valuecell application from the GitHub Releases page.
- An API key for a supported AI model provider.
Steps
Download the latest Valuecell application for MacOS or Windows from the GitHub Releases page.

Guide limitations
- The evidence does not specify operating-system versions, installation commands or provider-specific configuration steps.
- This guide covers setup only; it does not establish that a trading strategy has been created or executed.
Prepare a live-trading workflow
Configure models and an exchange, create a strategy, and monitor the trader.
Before you start
- A configured AI model API key.
- API credentials for a supported exchange.
- A contract account with sufficient balance.
Steps
Add the AI model API key through the web interface.
Set up exchange credentials for a supported exchange.
Combine the AI model with the exchange to create a custom strategy.
Start or stop traders and monitor performance in real time.
Expected outcome
A configured trading workflow can be started, stopped and monitored within the documented application flow.
Guide limitations
