What is the Trading Wizard?

The Trading Wizard is Nimbus’s AI-powered assistant that analyzes your trading goals, risk tolerance, market outlook, and capital to recommend optimal trading strategies. It provides personalized bot configurations, risk management settings, and ongoing strategy optimization.

How the Trading Wizard Works

Our LLM-powered system combines market analysis, strategy optimization, and personalized recommendations to create tailored trading solutions.
Example Interaction: You: “I want to accumulate ETH over 6 months with $10,000, but I’m worried about high volatility”Wizard: “Based on your goals, I recommend a hybrid approach: 60% Conservative DCA ($150/week) + 40% Signal-Enhanced Grid Trading during dips. This provides steady accumulation with opportunity for better average prices. Risk level: Low-Medium.”

Trading Wizard Recommendations

Strategy Selection Process

Based on your profile, the Wizard recommends from our strategy library:
For low-risk, steady accumulation:
  • Smart Portfolio Rebalancer: Maintain target allocations automatically
  • Conservative DCA: Regular, small purchases with protective filters
  • Low-volatility Grid Trading: Tight grids in stable assets
  • Signal-filtered strategies: Only trade on high-confidence signals
Typical profile: New to trading, steady income, long-term goals, low volatility tolerance
For balanced growth with managed risk:
  • Multi-strategy portfolio: Combine DCA + Grid + Rebalancing
  • Adaptive DCA: Vary purchase amounts based on market conditions
  • Medium-range Grid Trading: Capture volatility in established assets
  • Signal-enhanced strategies: Use multiple signals for decision making
Typical profile: Some trading experience, moderate capital, 6-12 month timeline
For maximum growth potential:
  • Advanced Signal Trading: Complex multi-signal strategies
  • Wide-range Grid Trading: Capture large price swings
  • Momentum strategies: Trend-following with leverage
  • Martingale recovery: Position-sizing strategies (with strict limits)
Typical profile: Experienced trader, higher risk tolerance, active monitoring

Advanced Wizard Features

Conversational Strategy Building

Engage in natural conversation to refine your strategy:
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.”
Learning as you configure:
  • Explains why specific settings are recommended
  • Educates about risk-return tradeoffs
  • Provides historical context for strategy performance
  • Suggests additional learning resources

Sample Wizard Conversations

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 (300/month)+40300/month) + 40% BTC 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.”
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 (1,8001,800-2,200) is below current ETH price (2,350).Irecommend:1)Closecurrentgridandrealizeprofits,2)Deployanewgridfrom2,350). I recommend: 1) Close current grid and realize profits, 2) Deploy a new grid from 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.”
