EDGE THEORYHOW IT WORKS

You have the idea. We'll help you build the Bot.

Edge Theory helps you create crypto trading Bots, test how they would have worked in the past and practise without using real money.

Don't have an idea yet? That's fine too. Explore ready-made Bots, learn how they work and try things out before using real money.

No card required 40 AI credits every month

EDGE THEORY1 MINUTE OVERVIEW
Watch the overview. Use the player controls to turn sound on or replay.

01THE BASICS

First, what's a trading Bot?

Think of a Bot as a helper that follows instructions.

Imagine you tell someone: “If Bitcoin drops to a price I choose, let me know.” That's an instruction.

Now imagine giving software a set of trading instructions it can follow automatically. That's the basic idea behind a trading Bot.

A Bot doesn't know the future. It follows rules, and those rules can work well or badly depending on what happens in the market. Edge Theory helps you create rules, test them and manage your Bots.

02CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT

Build your own Bot. Or explore one that's ready.

OPTION 1

Tell Pulse your idea.

Pulse is Edge Theory's AI assistant. Explain what you want in everyday words. Pulse helps turn the idea into rules you can review and change.

OPTION 2

Explore ready-made Bots.

Browse existing Bots, see what they're designed to do and review the available information before you choose one.

03LET'S BUILD ONE TOGETHER

It starts with one sentence.

Follow the example through Pulse and Strategy Lab. The product screens shown are real; the Bitcoin idea is illustrative.

STEP 01 / 04

Say what you want.

“I want a Bot that buys a little Bitcoin when the price falls.” You can start in everyday words; you do not need to write code.

STEP 01Tell Pulse

Say what you want.

“I want a Bot that buys a little Bitcoin when the price falls.” You can start in everyday words; you do not need to write code.

Example idea only. It is not a recommendation to buy Bitcoin.

STEP 02Answer

Choose what “a little” and “falls” mean.

Pulse can help surface the missing details. You choose the market, price level, amount and protection that belong in your idea.

STEP 03Check rules

Read and change the rules.

Review the draft in Strategy Lab. Check that each condition says what you mean, and change it before you test.

STEP 04Test

See how the rules behaved in the past.

Run the saved rules against historical market prices. A backtest can show where they would have triggered and where they struggled; it cannot predict what happens next.

04TEST THE IDEA

See how your idea would have worked before.

A backtest checks your rules against historical market prices. It can show where the strategy would have bought or sold, what costs were included and where it struggled.

The past cannot tell us exactly what will happen tomorrow.

THEN LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER

Evidence Lab helps you investigate.

A strategy can look good because it happened to work during one kind of market. Evidence Lab helps you ask why the result might be reliable.

Learn about Evidence Lab
  • 01

    Did the strategy do better than random entries?

  • 02

    Did it still work on market data it hadn't been tested against?

  • 03

    Did it struggle when market conditions changed?

05PRACTISE FIRST

Real money can wait.

Simulated means pretend money. A Simulated Bot follows its configured rules, but it doesn't place real orders on an exchange.

If you later choose a supported Bot with real money, that's called Live trading. It needs an eligible plan and supported exchange connection. Losses are possible.

SIMULATED

Practise with pretend money.

No Live exchange orders.

LIVE

Uses real funds.

Requires a supported setup. You can lose money.

You don't need to connect an exchange to design, backtest or practise with a Simulated Bot.

06THERE'S MORE TO EXPLORE

Your Bots are only part of Edge Theory.

Explore research, follow what's happening in the market and connect with other members.

08A FEW QUICK QUESTIONS

Good to know before you start.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You can describe an idea to Pulse using everyday language, then review the draft rules in Strategy Lab.

Do I need to understand crypto trading?

You can explore the platform as a beginner. Learn how trading and risk work before deciding whether to use real money.

What if I don't have a trading idea?

You can explore ready-made Bots instead of building one yourself.

Can I test a Bot for free?

The Free plan includes Strategy Lab testing and one Simulated Bot, subject to the plan's limits.

Does a Bot guarantee I'll make money?

No. A Bot follows rules, and those rules can lose money. Backtests and simulated results don't guarantee future performance.

EDGE THEORYYOUR NEXT STEP

One idea. A few simple steps. Your first Bot.

Start with something small. Learn how it works. See what the evidence says.

Automated trading involves risk. Backtests and simulated results do not predict future performance.
