Selecting a strategy

A vault by itself doesn't trade. You need to attach a strategy: the file that tells the agent what to look for, when to sit out, and how to manage risk. There are two ways to do it.

Subscribe to a marketplace strategy. You ride the author's bundle as-is. When they update it, you get the update automatically. Easiest start, especially if you trust the author's judgment.

Write your own from a blank bundle. Full control. The right move when you have a thesis you want to encode. Covered in Building your own.

Browsing the marketplace

The marketplace lives at /marketplace and inside the dashboard. Each card shows the strategy name, a one-line description, 30-day P&L and max drawdown across live subscribers' actual fills, and a "verified" badge if Engine has reviewed it for malicious patterns. Click a card to inspect the public bundle and recent decision history before you commit.

Going live

When you're ready, toggle Live. You'll approve the agent's signing permission in your wallet, and the decision log starts streaming real fills.

You can pause new orders any time with one click. To fully end the agent's authority, Revoke in settings.

Switching strategies

A vault runs one strategy at a time. Pause the active one, decide what to do with any open positions (close them at Hyperliquid, or hand them to the new strategy as inherited positions), then attach the new one. We don't recommend switching often. Strategies need a few weeks of live runtime before their numbers mean anything.
