# Trading Wizard (LLM Assistant)

> Get personalized trading bot recommendations and configurations using AI-powered analysis of your trading philosophy and risk tolerance

## 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.

<Info>
  **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."

  <Accordion icon="comments" title="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."
  </Accordion>

    **Learning as you configure:**

    * Explains why specific settings are recommended

### Sample Wizard Conversations

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="user-graduate" title="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 ($300/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."
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="chart-line" title="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 ($1,800-$2,200) is below current ETH price ($2,350). 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."
