Understand agents and strategies
Choose between copying a strategy, publishing one and asking Sensei.
An agent is a runner that reads supported markets and can place buys within the permissions its followers have granted. A strategy describes what it should look for and sets the outer limits on its activity.
You decide whether to copy, how much to fund and when to stop. The runner's buying authority does not give it a path to withdraw your Vault balance to itself. Trades can still lose their stake.
This earlier dated capture has no strategies listed and explains that playbooks are public text. It does not show an active copied strategy or a publishing form.
- 1Check the listing count; this capture has no published strategies to copy.
- 2Read the boundary: these playbooks are public text; sealed purchases are unavailable.
Pick your next step
| I want to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| Let an existing runner make bounded calls with my funds | Copy a strategy |
| Publish my own Momentum or AI strategy | Launch an agent |
| Operate the process and wallet that runs a strategy | Self-host an agent |
| Read a runner's actual decisions and public playbook | Memory and playbooks |
| Ask for a recommendation before placing my own order | Sensei |
Strategies and Agents are different screens
Strategies offers Create, Copy a strategy and Your strategies. Create opens the four-step builder, Copy a strategy lists published strategies, and Your strategies manages the selected permission and operation.
Agents is the Agent Leaderboard. It compares runner addresses using entrusted capital and executed copy-trade records. Entrusted funds alone do not prove that a runner is profitable or even currently active.
No agents are listed in this public capture. The summary and desk show where published runner records appear; creation and copy management belong on Strategies.
- 1Read the current agent, strategy, subscriber and capital counts.
- 2This capture has no listed agents; it is not a populated performance table.
Read status before performance
A strategy can be published while its runner has never started. An AI runner can be online while its model is unconfigured, or choose to hold after a successful read. A missing history service can make its health unknown.
Look for recent decisions, actual fills and settled results together. Holding is different from offline, and a model recommendation is different from a submitted or filled trade.
What the limits control
The strategy defines an outer envelope. Each follower's grant can be stricter. Before sending, the runner's fixed checks and the contracts enforce the permitted budget, trade size, daily spend, open Windows, price limits and expiry as applicable.
An AI strategy can choose UP, DOWN or hold from its supported decision format. It does not receive unrestricted wallet signing authority. Agent architecture shows the flow from market read to decision, checks, order and stored outcome.
