Getting started

What you see the moment you sign in, and where to go next.

Signing in takes you straight to the dashboard (/). It’s a single screen that answers three questions: what’s in your platform, what the market is doing right now, and what your best results look like so far. The first time you land here, a guided tour (the Show guide button) walks through the same sections below, anchored to the actual UI.

The summary row

Five cards summarize your platform at a glance:

  • Exchanges — how many exchange connections are active. Open it to inspect them.
  • Assets — a shortcut into the asset catalog, the instruments you can analyze.
  • Laboratory — how many laboratories you have. Laboratories are where you iterate on strategy logic visually before it becomes real code — see Laboratory.
  • Strategies — your strategy library. If you haven’t created one yet, this card takes you straight into the creation flow.
  • Backtests — total backtests, executions, and accumulated runtime, so you can see how much analysis is already running on the platform.

Live market feed

Below the summary row, a small row of live tickers (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT on Binance) gives you a pulse on key instruments without leaving the dashboard.

Recent activity

The bottom of the dashboard ranks your best results, switchable between two tabs:

  • Best backtests — your top backtests by Sharpe ratio and total PnL.
  • Best executions — the same ranking one level down, at the execution/revision level, so you can jump straight into the run that’s actually working.

Where to go next

The fastest path to a working setup:

  1. Laboratory — sketch an idea visually against a real slice of market data before writing any code.
  2. Strategies — turn that idea into a real, versioned strategy (AI-assisted or hand-written).
  3. Backtesting — run it against historical data and read the report.
  4. Marketplace — skip steps 1–2 entirely by reusing a strategy someone else already published.
