Step 1: Type Your Query
In the Atlas chat, type what you're looking for. For example:
"Show me the best SSA strategies for Bitcoin on the 1-hour timeframe"
Press Enter or click the send button.

Step 2: Answer Any Follow-Up Questions
If Atlas needs more detail, it will present you with multiple-choice options. For example, it might ask which direction you prefer — Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
Click an option to continue, or type your answer.
Step 3: Review Your Results
Atlas displays up to 5 matching strategies, each with:
- A metrics panel showing Net Profit, Trades, Win Rate, Max DD, Profit Factor, Sharpe ratio, and Overfit %
- An equity curve chart showing how the strategy performed over time
- The entry and exit conditions (which trigger and states were used)

Step 4: Keep Exploring
Continue the conversation to dig deeper:
- "Show me the same for ETH"
- "Any of these with a drawdown under 10%?"
- "Sort by win rate instead"
- "What does the Fair Value Trail filter do?"
Atlas remembers your conversation context (within each session), so you can refine naturally.

Step 5: Save the Ones Worth Tracking
Found a strategy you want to keep? Click the star icon on its result card to save it to your Saved Strategies dashboard. Saved strategies are re-validated weekly against the refreshed database, so you'll know when one stops clearing the quality filters.
