Getting Started

Quickstart

Scaffold a strategy, backtest it against five years of data, and promote it to a paper agent — in under five minutes.

1. Scaffold a new strategy

bash

wu-bot new momentum-15m --template equities/momentum
cd momentum-15m

2. Describe intent in natural language

Edit intent.md in plain English. The agent turns it into signal code.

intent.md

Universe: liquid US large-caps, price > $10, avg volume > 2M
Signal:  15-minute breakout of 20-bar high, with RSI(14) < 70
Sizing:  1% NAV per position, max 5 concurrent
Exit:    -1.5% stop, +3% take-profit, EOD flatten

3. Backtest

bash

wu-bot backtest --from 2020-01-01 --to 2024-12-31

4. Promote to a paper agent

bash

wu-bot deploy --mode paper --broker robinhood
▸ agent id: agt_01HXK...  status: running (paper)
▸ dashboard: https://wu-bot.dev/a/agt_01HXK

5. Go live (when ready)

Flip --mode live after you've reviewed the paper trail. Live mode requires an authorized Robinhood Agentic Trading session and honors the risk caps declared in your wu.toml.
