### 3. **Bullish vs Bearish Debate** (TradingAgents Researcher Team)

Structured debate between optimistic and pessimistic views:

```markdown
## 🎭 Market Debate: Gold

### Thesis: Should we buy gold at current levels?

---

### 🐂 Bullish Argument

**Key Points**:
1. Historical safe haven during uncertainty
2. Inflation hedge with monetary expansion
3. Central bank buying increasing demand
4. Technical support holding at key levels

**Scenario**: Risk-off sentiment drives capital to precious metals

---

### 🐻 Bearish Argument

**Key Points**:
1. Strong dollar reduces appeal
2. Risk-on environment favors equities
3. Higher interest rates increase opportunity cost
4. Resistance levels capping gains

**Scenario**: Economic strength reduces safe haven demand

---

### ⚖️ Balanced View

Consider both scenarios and position size accordingly.
```

### 4. **Position Sizing Calculator**

Calculate position size based on risk parameters:

```python
def calculate_position_size(
    account_balance: float,
    risk_percent: float,      # e.g., 1.0 for 1%
    entry_price: float,
    stop_loss: float,
    pip_value: float = 1.0    # $1 per pip for 1 lot
) -> dict:
    """
    Calculate optimal position size
    
    Returns:
        {
            "risk_amount": float,      # Dollar amount at risk
            "stop_pips": float,        # Stop distance in pips
            "position_size": float,    # Lot size
            "max_units": int           # Safe position units
        }
    """
    risk_amount = account_balance * (risk_percent / 100)
    stop_distance = abs(entry_price - stop_loss)
    
    # For gold: 1 pip = $1 per lot (approximately)
    position_size = risk_amount / stop_distance if stop_distance > 0 else 0
    
    return {
        "risk_amount": round(risk_amount, 2),
        "stop_pips": round(stop_distance, 2),
        "position_size": round(position_size, 2),
        "max_units": int(position_size * 100)  # Convert to micro-lots
    }
```
