## Choose when

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- AgentGPT is primarily TypeScript; machine-learning-for-trading is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: AgentGPT is GPL-3.0, machine-learning-for-trading is MIT.
- Tags unique to AgentGPT: agent, autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- When you want to leverage pre-configured setups for database integration (specifically MySQL) handled by AgentGPT's CLI

### Choose machine-learning-for-trading if…

- machine-learning-for-trading is primarily Jupyter Notebook; AgentGPT is TypeScript.
- License: machine-learning-for-trading is MIT, AgentGPT is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to machine-learning-for-trading: algorithmic-trading, artificial-intelligence, backtesting, deep-learning.
- Also covers Model Training.
- - When you require a comprehensive solution, including data sourcing and live execution, all in one place.

## When NOT to use AgentGPT

- Avoid using if your project requires a NoSQL database solution, given that AgentGPT is configured specifically with MySQL out-of-the-box
- Consider alternatives if your stack does not include FastAPI or Next.js, as the tool's default configurations might require significant adjustment

## When NOT to use machine-learning-for-trading

- - Not recommended if you are not interested in integrating live execution and prefer a theoretical approach to machine learning.
- - Unsuitable if your system setup does not support the use of Docker, especially on environments where setting up WSL2 before installing Docker is prohibitive or problematic.
- - If your trading strategy development workflow can be executed without Python 3.12 or does not require specialized deep-learning notebooks, opting out might avoid complications from using `ml4t-py312
