Type /recipe in any Discord channel where the bot is installed.

That's the whole thing. Glossary · /learn inside Discord — every term explained.

1

Pick what to test

A company (e.g. Apple, Tesla) or an ETF (a basket of companies, e.g. SPY = the S&P 500 index, QQQ = the 100 biggest tech names). Type a name and pick from the dropdown.

2

Pick a strategy type

A strategy is a rule that tells you when to buy and sell. Pick the one whose description matches what you'd like to test. You can change it later.

Not sure which to pick? Use /compare-strategies in Discord — it runs all 7 famous strategies on your company in one go and shows a side-by-side table. Or, if you just want to see returns across multiple stocks, /compare stocks: Tesla, Apple years: 5.
SMA Crossover
Momentum

Buy when the short-term price average crosses above the long-term average. Sell when it crosses back. The classic "golden cross" / "death cross" idea.

Fires: rarely — typically 2-5 trades over 5 years.
Best on: indices and big ETFs (SPY, QQQ).
EMA Crossover
Momentum

Like SMA crossover but the average reacts faster to recent prices. Better for shorter-term momentum signals like the classic 12/26 MACD setup.

Fires: moderate — 10-30 trades over 5 years.
Best on: individual stocks, faster trends.
RSI Mean-Reversion
Counter-trend

Buy when the stock looks "oversold" (RSI drops below a threshold like 30). Sell when it looks "overbought" (RSI rises above 70). Counter-trend bet.

Fires: often — 30-80 trades over 5 years.
Best on: individual stocks with clear ranges.
Custom (plain English)
Advanced

Describe your idea in plain English (e.g. "buy when RSI(14) drops below 25, sell at 75"). The bot parses it into a strategy. Power-user option.

Best for: traders who already know what they're testing.
