Strategies and Paper
What Is a Strategy?
A strategy is a plan Chatito can run for you: rules, risk limits, and which market it belongs to.
We sometimes call it a book. Same idea. It is not “one lucky click.” It’s a process you can leave running, pause, or stop.
Chatito’s job is to help you encode the plan and follow it - not to replace your judgment with hype.
Practice Money vs Real Money
| Mode | What it means |
|---|---|
| Practice (also called paper) | Fake money. Safe place to learn and test. Use this first. |
| Live | Real money. Only you can turn this on - with keys set up and a clear arming step. |
Important: the PRACTICE / LIVE switch at the top of a terminal only changes which numbers you look at. It does not turn real trading on or off.
Practice results are a learning tool. Live markets have fees, delays, and thin books. Numbers will not match 1:1.
Ways to Get Your First Strategy
| Path | What happens |
|---|---|
| Trade For Me | Short wizard on Home → one practice strategy |
| Create Strategy | You pick a type and fill in the essentials yourself |
| AI Lab invent | AI proposes something; if you accept, it still starts on practice |
| Strategy Factory | Ideas and experiments queue (free intake area, not the same as Lab spend) |
| Research Factory | Diagnose books you already own (edge health / autopsy). Not a create path |
| Share / copy | Someone shares a strategy; you can run a paper copy if they allow it |
Limits and "Delete"
- Free and paid plans cap how many strategies you can run and save per market. See in-app capacity / plan when signed in.
- When you delete a strategy, it leaves your list and frees a slot. Chatito keeps the history for research; it’s not a hard erase of the past.
- Built-in demo strategies only hide for you - other people still see the catalog.
Trade For Me, in One Line
Trade For Me gets you onto one practice strategy fast. It is onboarding, not a performance guarantee. Use it on Home in the app; deep product Docs for the wizard open later (left nav Soon).
If Live is available later, you still need keys (or a wallet) and a separate “arm Live” action from you. Public Live may stay closed until we open it for everyone.
Leaderboards and "What Works"
Boards that show who is doing well are for transparency and learning. They are not promises that the same result will happen for you.
See the product Terms for legal framing.
