Step 2: Complete the Onboarding Wizard¶
When you first log in, Katbot automatically launches a guided onboarding wizard to get you up and running. The wizard sets up your agent, research strategy, and paper portfolio in four steps.
Step 1 of 4 — Meet Your Agent¶
Katbot generates a unique AI trading agent for you. You can regenerate the name or keep the one it picks. Your agent scans markets, runs research, and generates recommendations — but never executes a trade without your approval.

Click "let's go →" to create the agent and move to the next step.
Step 2 of 4 — Pick a Research Strategy¶
Choose the strategy your agent will use to scan markets. Each bucket focuses on a different signal type:
| Strategy | What it looks for |
|---|---|
| Momentum | Strongest directional price moves across 24h / 7d / 30d |
| Volume Breakout | Volume spikes above 3× rolling average with price confirmation |
| Mean Reversion | Oversold bounces near major support levels |
| News-Driven | Tokens with high-impact headlines (≥ 0.5) in last 24h |

Click "continue →" to save your strategy and move on.
Step 3 of 4 — Name Your Portfolio¶
Give your paper trading workspace a name you'll recognize. Your portfolio starts with $10,000 in simulated cash on Hyperliquid Paper Trading.

Click "continue →" to kick off your first analysis.
Step 4 of 4 — First Analysis¶
Katbot immediately runs a research scan using your chosen strategy. You'll see a live log as it scans tokens, applies your strategy's signal rules, and ranks candidates.

Once the analysis completes, "go to workspace →" becomes active. Click it to land in your workspace with a fresh trade recommendation ready to review.
Step 3: Execute Your First Paper Trade¶
After the wizard finishes, you'll land in your workspace with a fresh trading recommendation ready for review.
- Review the Recommendation: Check the entry price, take-profit, stop-loss, and the AI's reasoning.

- Execute: If you're satisfied, click "Execute Trade".
- Confirm: Confirm the MetaMask signature request to place your trade on Hyperliquid!

Step 4: Monitor Your Portfolio¶
After executing the trade, monitor your portfolio's performance:
