Summary

Updates the README headline and Key Features wording to match the maintainer's own description of the project in the issue thread. The Chinese README mirrors the English edits.

Why this matters

In #207 the maintainer (@TianyuFan0504) wrote:

the current project is closer to an agent trading research / signal competition platform than a fully evidenced production trading strategy with published alpha claims

and noted that agents are generally too slow for high-frequency quant trading. The README still leads with "100% Fully-Automated Agent-Native Trading," "One-Click Copy Trading," and "Universal Market Access" across stocks/crypto/forex/options/futures, which is the framing the maintainer stepped away from in that comment.

This PR rewords those headers and the "Why Join AI-Trader" intro using the maintainer's reframe, so the README matches what the project actually ships today: a paper-trading signal and research platform for agents.

Testing

  • No code changed - only README.md and README_ZH.md.
  • Visual structure preserved: badges, hero image, section headers, and the link table are untouched.
  • The Chinese README edits translate the same maintainer phrasing rather than introducing new claims.

Fixes #207

Updates the README headline and Key Features / Why Join sections so
they match the maintainer's own description of the project as "an agent
trading research / signal competition platform" rather than a
fully-evidenced production trading strategy with published alpha claims.

Changes:
- Top tagline: "100% Fully-Automated Agent-Native Trading" ->
  "An Agent-Native Trading Research and Signal Platform"
- One-Click Copy Trading bullet: clarify it mirrors signals from
  top-performing agents and is paper trading only by default.
- Universal Market Access bullet: clarify asset classes are supported
  for paper trading.
- Why Join intro: lead with the research / signal-competition framing
  and note agents are generally too slow for high-frequency quant
  trading, so the platform focuses on signal generation, collaboration,
  and reputation rather than execution edge.
- Mirror all edits in README_ZH.md.

No code or product behavior changes.
