## Tips & Best Practices

- Be specific in your questions — include the asset name, timeframe, and indicator names to get precise and actionable trading advice from the AI

- Use the @ mention feature to reference algorithms from your library so the AI can analyze and suggest improvements based on your existing strategy logic

- Treat the AI's responses as a research starting point — always validate suggestions through backtesting before incorporating them into live strategies

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What types of questions can the chat assistant answer?

The assistant can help with trading strategy design, technical indicator selection, risk management approaches, backtest result interpretation, platform feature guidance, and general market analysis concepts. It draws from your configured strategy context for personalized advice.

### Does the chat assistant have access to my strategy data?

The assistant can access your current strategy configuration and algorithm library when you use the @ mention feature. It uses this context to provide more relevant recommendations. Your private data is processed securely and not stored in the AI provider's training data.

### Which AI model should I choose for the best results?

Different models have different strengths. GPT-4 and Claude excel at detailed strategy analysis and code explanations. Gemini is strong for data interpretation. Choose based on your API key availability and the type of question — experiment to find which model best suits your workflow.
