The prompt is the most important part of a strategy. These guidelines make the AI’s decisions match your intent.

Be specific

Give every rule a threshold and a direction:
  • “Buy when RSI(14) crosses above 30”, not “buy when it’s oversold”.
  • “Exit when the price closes below the 50 EMA”, not “exit when the trend ends”.
Prompts can be up to 5,000 characters. Clear and unambiguous beats long.

Cover entry, exit and holding

Write when the strategy should:
  • enter,
  • exit: the AI can close positions on conditions you describe,
  • hold rather than trade.
A strategy with detailed entries and vague exits makes inconsistent exits.

Set the risk in numbers

  • A stop-loss and take-profit, as percentages.
  • A maximum position size, for example “Maximum position size: $3,000”. The AI respects position limits you provide.
  • Or a target position size, which the AI maintains as the market moves.
The Max Trade Quantity setting caps each order separately. Start with a low value.

Use data the AI can see

The AI can only use the data in Supported Data. It can’t see news, social media, company fundamentals, whale or exchange flows, Ethereum gas, or forecasts for economic releases, and it can’t analyse chart images.
  • Moving averages are available with 9, 20 and 50 periods.
  • Indicators show the 5 most recent values by default.
  • The AI uses UTC for time.
  • Extra data sources must be added to the strategy’s input data, and send their latest value only.
When you mention an extra data source in a prompt, the prompt check flags it and Add puts it in the strategy’s input data for you.

Language

You can write prompts in any commonly used language; English generally gives the best results. To get the AI’s reasoning in your own language, say so in the prompt.

Test before you scale

Run a Fast Estimate first, start with a low order quantity, and read the strategy’s events before increasing size.
