AI Strategy Wizard — build strategies without code
Go to Trading → Create an AI Strategy. The AI builds a strategy, tests it on past data, and improves it by itself — no code to read.
Flow
1. Pick a mode — build it for me / set a goal (max loss) / describe an idea / just write text
2. Tell the AI (optional) — requests like "trade only 1–2 times a week"
3. Risk level 1–5 — each level maps to a loss cap and leverage cap enforced server-side (blocked even if the AI ignores it)
4. Coins & options — pick coins, buy in parts, no betting on drops
5. How to run — ① automatically with your AI key (server runs the loop) ② get a copy-paste prompt for an external AI chat
6. Progress screen — live updates from the AI. You can close it; the job keeps running.
7. Result card — past-test summary + a paper-trading button. Paper/live deployment is always your button, never the AI's.
Getting an AI API key
Automatic mode needs a Claude or OpenAI API key (separate from chat subscriptions — pay per use).
Claude (Anthropic): sign in at console.anthropic.com → Settings → API Keys → Create Key → add a payment method under Billing (prepaid credits, from $5).
OpenAI: sign in at platform.openai.com → Settings → API keys → Create new secret key → add a payment method under Billing (prepaid credits).
Paste the key (sk-...) into "Connect an AI key" in the wizard — it is verified before saving.
Cost — please read
- API keys are billed separately from chat subscriptions. Even with Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus, API usage is charged on top (pay per use).
- If you already have a chat subscription, the "copy-paste prompt" option is cheaper — no extra cost within your subscription limits. Automatic runs trade convenience for per-call costs.
- Automatic runs are capped at 10 AI calls per creation — typically well under a dollar per run (varies by model and code length), but repeated creations add up quickly. We recommend setting a spending limit (budget cap) in your provider's Billing console.
Security
- This key cannot touch funds — it only incurs AI usage fees. It is a completely different kind of key from exchange API keys.
- Keys are stored encrypted, shown masked only, and can be deleted anytime (effective immediately).
- Past test results of generated strategies do not guarantee future results.
