FAQ and support

Common questions across features, and how to contact us.

FAQ

Getting started

I can't find a menu item.

The left menu depends on your account type. Certification & Listing, My Funding, Contest Panel, and some others appear only for PM accounts. Your account becomes a PM account automatically when you create your first strategy, connect a self-hosted strategy, or register for the Strategy Challenge. See Account types and menus.

Do I have to enter a contest before I can get listed or apply for funding?

No. Listing and applying for funding require a PM account, which is set up automatically when you create your first strategy or connect a self-hosted strategy.

Do I have to pay to use the platform?

Signing up, entering contests, and browsing the Strategy Marketplace are free. AI chat and backtests spend points; the Free plan includes 300 points every 30 days, starting once your email address is verified. See Plans and points.

Account

I didn't get the verification email.

Check your spam folder, then resend from the sign-up confirmation page or Personal Center. Each resend invalidates the old links, so click the latest email.

Why is two-factor authentication missing from my Account Settings?

Two-factor authentication currently appears only for PM accounts. Your account becomes a PM account when you create your first strategy, connect a self-hosted strategy, or register for the Strategy Challenge.

Can I try identity verification again after it fails?

Once verification is finally rejected, it cannot be submitted again. A common reason is that the ID is already verified on another account. Please contact support.

AI Strategy Workbench

The AI generated code. Why can't I run a backtest?

Submitting a backtest from the backtest panel needs a saved version. First say "save" in the chat to write a draft, then click Save Version. See Save a version.

My backtest keeps running.

A backtest usually takes a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, depending on the timeframe and the length of the range. You can close the page and check back later. Each strategy can run only one backtest at a time.

Does resubmitting a backtest cost points again?

Yes. Every backtest you submit spends points, and clicking Retry counts as a new one.

Can I write the code myself?

Not at the moment. In the workbench you create and change strategies by chatting with the AI; the code view is read-only.

Self-hosted strategies

Can the platform place orders with my key?

No. The platform accepts only read-only keys. Keys with trading, withdrawal, or transfer permissions are rejected. See Data security and privacy.

Can my past trades count?

When the first account is connected, the platform backfills a stretch of history, so the record can start before the day you connected. Accounts you add later count from the day they are connected; their earlier history is not backfilled.

What happens if data isn't read on a given day?

That day is marked as a gap on the curve and is not interpolated. The complete collection days in the listing requirements are counted cumulatively; a break does not reset the count.

Strategy Challenge

Do I need identity verification to register?

No. If you advance to the live final, you must complete identity verification before the list confirmation deadline, or the place passes to the next entrant in your track. You also need it to claim a prize.

I registered. Why am I not on the leaderboard?

Registering, binding a contest strategy, eligibility pre-screening, and counting toward the ranking are separate steps. Check them in order: whether your registration is Approved; whether you bound a contest strategy before the deadline; whether you passed pre-screening; and whether you meet the threshold to count toward the ranking.

What if I don't pass pre-screening?

Before the binding deadline, rebind a version with a smaller drawdown, or change your track. After the deadline, you can only contact operations for a manual decision.

Can one strategy enter two contests?

No. A strategy can enter only one contest at a time.

Can I switch strategies after the contest starts?

No. You cannot rebind after the binding deadline. After the contest officially starts, you can submit one track change request, which staff will review.

Listing and the Strategy Marketplace

Once I'm listed, can others see who I am?

No. Strategies are shown under a codename, and individual trades are not public. See Data security and privacy.

Why do some strategies have no rating?

Operations assigns the U-Grade. Until a strategy is rated, its detail page shows Unrated and its card shows no grade.

Is the curve on the card the real performance?

For self-hosted strategies (fully self-hosted), the card curve comes from the real record. For backtested strategies, the card curve is illustrative only; see the detail page for the real NAV curve.

Can I invest directly in strategies on the marketplace?

Not at the moment. The Strategy Marketplace is a tool for showing and comparing strategies and does not constitute investment advice.

Group direct investment

Will I definitely get funding if I apply?

No. The group reviews funding independently, and the amount you request is a reference only.

Can one strategy have two funding programs at the same time?

No. Each strategy can have only one open program at a time. You can apply again only after the program is rejected, cancelled, or settled.

Do I have to cover losses?

No. There is no clawback on losses, and carry is charged only on gains above principal.

Membership and points

What happens to my remaining points when I upgrade?

When you upgrade, the unused part of your current plan is credited against the price. Once payment succeeds, a new full period starts immediately and you get the new plan's points.

Can I get a refund?

Membership fees cannot be refunded through self-service. If you have questions, Contact support.

I sent USDC but my plan didn't activate.

First confirm the amount you sent exactly matches the amount on the page. Then enter the transaction hash manually for verification. The transfer must come from the wallet you have connected.
