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.
Build with PulseEDGE THEORYHOW IT WORKS
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.

01THE BASICS
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.

Follow the example through Pulse and Strategy Lab. The product screens shown are real; the Bitcoin idea is illustrative.
STEP 01 / 04
“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
“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
Pulse can help surface the missing details. You choose the market, price level, amount and protection that belong in your idea.
STEP 03Check rules
Review the draft in Strategy Lab. Check that each condition says what you mean, and change it before you test.
STEP 04Test
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
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
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 LabDid the strategy do better than random entries?
Did it still work on market data it hadn't been tested against?
Did it struggle when market conditions changed?
05PRACTISE FIRST
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.
No Live exchange orders.
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
Explore research, follow what's happening in the market and connect with other members.

Pulse Signals helps you explore market setups. Community is where members share ideas and ask questions. Your Home dashboard brings Bots, research and activity together.
Updated member dashboard screenshot. Member-specific details and activity vary.

08A FEW QUICK QUESTIONS
No. You can describe an idea to Pulse using everyday language, then review the draft rules in Strategy Lab.
You can explore the platform as a beginner. Learn how trading and risk work before deciding whether to use real money.
You can explore ready-made Bots instead of building one yourself.
The Free plan includes Strategy Lab testing and one Simulated Bot, subject to the plan's limits.
No. A Bot follows rules, and those rules can lose money. Backtests and simulated results don't guarantee future performance.
