How It Works
You ask a question. The agent reasons about it. If it believes a specific setting change is warranted, it returns both a conversational reply and a structured proposal. The proposal card shows:- Which setting it wants to change
- The proposed new value
- Its reasoning — drawn from your performance data, backtest history, or market analysis
The agent cannot change its own settings without your explicit approval. A proposal with no response from you changes nothing.
Applying a Proposal
Tap Apply on the proposal card. The change takes effect immediately and is active on the next run cycle. Changes are applied through the same update path as manual edits — the agent’s live configuration is updated in the backend.Dismissing a Proposal
Tap Dismiss to reject the suggestion. The setting stays as-is. You can tell the agent you disagree and ask it to reason further, or ask for an alternative.What Can Be Proposed
The agent can propose changes to any of the following:| Setting | Example Proposal |
|---|---|
| Strategy prompt | ”I’d like to add a rule about avoiding trades when funding rates exceed 0.1%“ |
| Important notes | ”Add a hard rule to close all positions on Fridays before 4pm UTC” |
| Token whitelist | ”Remove WIF — I’ve had 0 wins on it across 12 trades. Add HYPE instead.” |
| Run schedule | ”Switch from 1h to 4h — the 1h schedule is generating too many WAIT decisions” |
| Max drawdown % | “Increase from 10% to 15% — the 10% limit has been triggering on normal volatility” |
| Max daily loss % | “Tighten from 5% to 3% based on your average daily volatility” |
| Max open positions | ”Reduce from 5 to 3 — you currently hold 3.1 positions on average” |
| Position size min/max | ”Increase min to 10% — your 5% positions have lower win rate than your larger ones” |
Example Conversation
You: Review my current risk settings and tell me if anything needs adjusting. Agent: Looking at your last 30 decisions and performance data: Your max drawdown is set to 10%. Over the past month, your strategy has naturally pulled back 8–9% during normal market fluctuations three separate times, causing automatic pauses. Each of those pauses interrupted setups that subsequently recovered and would have been profitable. Your actual strategy volatility profile suggests a 15% drawdown limit would give the agent room to operate without unnecessary interruptions while still protecting against genuine adverse moves. [Proposal Card]Setting: Max Drawdown %
Current: 10%
Proposed: 15%
Reasoning: Three pauses over 30 days triggered by normal volatility, not actual drawdown events. Average peak pullback over the period was 8.3%. [Apply] [Dismiss]
You: That makes sense. Apply it. (Tap Apply — takes effect on next run)
Tips for Eliciting Proposals
You don’t need to ask for a proposal explicitly. Ask the agent to review something and it will decide whether a change is warranted:- “Review my current risk settings.”
- “Is my strategy still appropriate for the current market?”
- “Look at my win rate by token — should I change my whitelist?”
- “Based on my last 5 backtests, what should I adjust?”
- “Do you think my run schedule is right for this strategy?”
