Advanced Wizard Features
Conversational Strategy Building
Engage in natural conversation to refine your strategy:Interactive Dialogue
Interactive Dialogue
Natural language strategy discussion:Examples of Wizard interactions:You: “I’m nervous about a potential market crash. How can I protect my portfolio?”Wizard: “I recommend adding stop-loss conditions to your existing strategies and implementing a ‘cash cushion’ rebalancer that increases USDC allocation when volatility spikes above 80%. Would you like me to configure this?”You: “My DCA bot is buying too often during small dips. Can we optimize this?”Wizard: “I can add a volatility filter that only triggers DCA purchases when price drops exceed 5% from recent highs. This should reduce frequency while maintaining your accumulation goals.”

Sample Wizard Conversations
Beginner Consultation
Beginner Consultation
New Trader Guidance:Wizard: “Welcome! I see you’re new to automated trading. Let’s start with your goals. Are you looking to accumulate specific cryptocurrencies, generate regular income, or explore trading for profits?”User: “I want to slowly build a position in ETH and BTC over the next year with about $500 per month.”Wizard: “Perfect for DCA strategy! Based on your timeline and budget, I recommend: 60% ETH DCA (200/month) with weekly purchases. I’ll add protective filters to skip purchases during extreme volatility. This gives you steady accumulation with downside protection.”
Strategy Optimization
Strategy Optimization
Improving Existing Strategy:User: “My grid bot has been stuck in a range for 2 weeks. The market keeps trending up but my grid isn’t capturing the move.”Wizard: “I see the issue. Your grid range (2,200) is below current ETH price (2,200-$2,600, or 3) Add a trailing feature to your existing grid. Which approach fits your risk preference?”User: “I like option 3. How does trailing work?”Wizard: “I’ll modify your grid to ‘trail’ upward when price stays above the upper bound for 24 hours. The entire grid shifts up by 50% of the breakout amount, maintaining your profit capture while following the trend.”
