Build your first token strategy

Start with research and a historical test. You do not need to fund a wallet for this workflow. Workspace access requires a subscription; the current offer is on Pricing.

1. Open Terminal and identify a token

Create an account, complete the required subscription flow, and open Terminal. Use the top search or Tokens list, select an exact token, and confirm its network/address. The chart tab now supplies the context for “this token.”

2. Inspect the market

Review the available price history, liquidity, activity and holder data. Missing values are not zero. A newly created token may not have enough bars for your intended indicators.

3. Describe one testable idea

Starter prompt
For the token selected in my chart, build a long-only strategy using a fast and slow moving average. Use 10% allocation, define the exit, and explain which intervals and historical data are available before running a test.

4. Review the generated code

Expand Code and confirm the token identity, interval, indicator periods, entry, exit, sizing and supported risk controls. Code is read-only in the user workspace; request revisions in Chat. Avoid adding multiple new assumptions at once.

5. Test and inspect

Run a backtest. Read the actual test window, warmup, cost assumptions, drawdown and trade list. Separate filled orders from closed trades and open positions. A successful test is not a guarantee of a live result.

6. Save and choose the next step

Ask “Save this strategy as [name]” or use Save in the code/results area and complete the save form. Reopen saved work through Strategies. Saving does not publish or deploy it. For practice, use Settings → Wallets → Paper, then review simulated capital in the deployment flow. For live activity, first review funding and orders.
