# The assistant

> Home is an AI assistant that knows ftw.trade. Ask it to build, explain, backtest or check anything, and it does the work with the same tools the site uses, on paper.

When you sign in you land on **Home**: an assistant that knows every part of ftw.trade. It's the quickest way to get something running.

## What to ask it

- "Set up a desk with five wallets trading ETH on Base, on paper."
- "Write a funding-rate strategy for Hyperliquid BTC and backtest it over 90 days."
- "Why didn't my RSI strategy trade yesterday?"
- "Make a dashboard for my momentum run with its P&L, drawdown and trades."
- "What's the best rate for USDC right now across Aave, Morpho and Spark?"

It shows what it is about to do as a card you can apply, change or skip. Strategies it writes come with a backtest and **Run on paper** and **Run on my account** buttons.

## A guided first desk

New accounts can follow a guided start: fund your account, pick a token you like, buy it, set a strategy on it, and end with a dashboard showing it run. You make every choice; the assistant does the setup. You can stop at any step.

## What it can and can't do

- It works on **paper**. Anything that would move real money goes through the site's own screens, where you confirm it.
- It reads your account the way you do: projects, strategies, runs, the log, your portfolio.
- It has a free daily allowance that grows with your level. Past it, credits keep it going. See [Credits and limits](https://docs.ftw.trade/account/credits-and-limits).

## The assistant in the charts

On [charts.ftw.trade](https://charts.ftw.trade) the trading terminal has its own assistant. It reads the chart you're on (trend, levels, VWAP, funding), drafts orders with stops and take-profits, and turns a level on the chart into a running strategy: right-click the price axis and choose **Automate at…**. Orders on your own account always wait for your press.
