Strategy Marketplace

The Strategy Marketplace lives in Skill Factory → Strategy Marketplace. It is the easiest way to start trading on Firedrake: instead of building a strategy from scratch, you pick a ready-made one that experienced traders have shared publicly, copy it to your own account, and launch it.

This page is written for complete beginners. If you have never configured a bot before, you can still get a working strategy running by following the three steps below.

Why use it

Building a futures strategy by hand means understanding bot settings, safety-order grids, trading pairs, price limits and risk management. That is a lot to learn before your first trade.

The marketplace removes that barrier. A trader who already did that work can publish their strategy together with its real performance. You copy an exact, identical replica in a couple of clicks — no manual configuration required.

Strategy status — honest, not hidden

Any strategy a trader chooses to publish is listed — a card is not hidden just because the strategy is switched off or has little history. Instead every card shows its honest status, and you decide for yourself:

• 🟢 Live — the author is running this strategy right now.
• 🟠 Not running — the author has switched the strategy (or its bot) off. Its past track record still stands; it simply isn't trading on their side at the moment.
• 🔵 No track record — fewer than 10 closed deals, so there is no proven history to judge it by yet.

A strategy the author deletes is removed from the marketplace entirely (its link is invalidated) — you never see a "deleted" card.

You can copy any listed strategy regardless of status: a copy always comes from the snapshot taken when the link was created, so it works even while the author has the strategy paused. When you copy a Not running or No track record card, a short caution appears first so the choice is a conscious one. Use the Live only, With track record, Verified only and exchange (Binance / Bybit) filters at the top to narrow the list to what you trust.

What you see on a strategy card

The card itself keeps only the essentials — status, exchange, price, the ROI headline, rating and the trader — with a Details button that opens the full picture: every metric below, its live activity (open deals now, deals in the last 24h/7d, days actually traded — so you can tell whether it is really trading), a Risk profile button (per-bot figures and a recommended deposit in three tiers), how copiers did, and the description. The numbers are the original author's real results on their own account, aggregated from that strategy's live trading history:

• Workability score (0–100) — a single rating that combines the win rate, how active the strategy has been in the last 30 days, how long it has been running, and how many users have already copied it. Higher is generally better.
• ROI — the strategy's percentage return: its total PnL measured against the account balance at the start of its track record. This makes the profit figure comparable between strategies regardless of deposit size (a +264% ROI means much more than a raw dollar amount on its own).
• Total profit — the author's cumulative result in USDT (can be positive or negative).
• Avg PnL / trade — the average result of one deal (total PnL ÷ number of deals); can be negative. A quick sense of how much a single trade typically makes.
• Verified trader — a trust badge for sustained, active trading. It is granted automatically when the author had at least 10 strategy deals (opened by a strategy and closed by a limit order — manual deals and manual closes don't count) in each of the last 6 calendar months, or when the team verifies them. A single month that falls short (or has no deals) means no badge — an Unverified trader caution badge shows instead. The status is re-checked daily, so a trader who stops trading actively loses the badge. Anyone can publish; the badge only tells you whether a proven, ongoing track record stands behind the author.
• Win rate — the share of the strategy's deals that closed in profit.
• Deals (30d) / Deals (total) — how many deals it has made recently and overall.
• Running — how long the strategy has been live.
• Copied by — how many users have already imported it (social proof).
• Risk profile — position side (Long/Short), leverage and the number of safety orders, so you can judge how aggressive it is.
• Price — either Free, or a one-time cost in FDC set by the author.
• Exchange — Binance or Bybit. A strategy can only be copied to an account on the same exchange.
• Tandem — some cards carry a Tandem badge. A tandem is a pair of mirror strategies (one Long + one Short) that are meant to run together; the card is a single entry for the pair, and its figures — first order, bot volume, profit, win rate — are the combined total of both legs. Copying a tandem imports both strategies at once, and you should enable both for it to work as intended.
• How copiers did — once a strategy has been copied, the card shows how the people who copied it actually did: how many copied it, how many have really traded it, and their combined real PnL (which can be negative — a strategy can lose money). This is the most honest signal: copy counts and reviews can be inflated, but real copier results are hard to fake — a strategy copied by many yet traded by none is a warning sign.
• Description — an optional note the author wrote about the strategy; open it from the 📄 Description link on the card. You can also report a card with the 🚩 button (choose a reason — inappropriate name/description/review, misleading, scam, other) if something looks wrong; it goes to the platform team, and the card stays visible until they review it.
• ⚠ Settings changed — this badge appears when the author edited the strategy's settings after publishing it. In that case the track record on the card was earned by the earlier settings and may not match what you would receive now, so review it carefully before copying.

Your result will differ. The numbers are the author's — earned on their account, with their deposit size and their timing. Your own outcome depends on your account size, your settings and market conditions. Treat the card as a track record, not a promise.

You can re-order the list by Workability score, Most copied, or Newest.

How the workability score is calculated

The workability score is a single number from 0 to 100 that helps you compare strategies at a glance. A higher score is generally better. It combines four things about the strategy, each with a different weight:

• Win rate — the biggest factor (about 45%). The share of the strategy's deals that closed in profit. Consistency matters most, so this counts the most.
• Recent activity (about 25%). How many deals the strategy made in the last 30 days. A strategy that is actively trading scores higher than one that has gone quiet. This part reaches its maximum at roughly 50 deals per month.
• Track record length (about 15%). How long the strategy has been running. A longer history is more trustworthy than a brand-new one. This part reaches its maximum at around 300 days.
• Popularity (about 15%). How many users have already copied the strategy. This part reaches its maximum at around 10 copies.

Each part has a ceiling, so no single factor can carry the whole score on its own — a strong strategy usually does well across several of them.

Profit (PnL) is deliberately not part of the score. Profit is an absolute amount in USDT that depends on the author's deposit size, so it cannot be compared fairly between strategies. It is shown separately on the card as its own figure, not folded into the score. That is exactly why ROI sits next to it — a percentage return that can be compared fairly between strategies.

The exact formula

Each component is first capped at 100, then weighted and summed, and the result is rounded to a whole number:

score = round(
      0.45 × win_rate
    + 0.25 × min(100, deals_30d × 2)
    + 0.15 × min(100, running_days ÷ 3)
    + 0.15 × min(100, times_copied × 10)
)

where win_rate is the win-rate percentage (0–100), deals_30d is the number of deals in the last 30 days, running_days is how many days the strategy has been live, and times_copied is how many users have copied it.

Worked example — the BTC-MRC-HEDGE card (win rate 95%, 0 deals in the last 30 days, running 180 days, copied by 1 user):

Component	Raw value	Capped (max 100)	× weight	Contribution
Win rate	95	95	× 0.45	42.75
Recent activity	0 × 2 = 0	0	× 0.25	0.00
Track record	180 ÷ 3 = 60	60	× 0.15	9.00
Popularity	1 × 10 = 10	10	× 0.15	1.50
Total				53.25 → 53

So the strong win rate and decent history give it a solid base, while the missing recent activity and single copy hold it back — final score 53 / 100.

Treat the score as a quick guide for comparison, not a guarantee. Always look at the individual numbers on the card and the safety reminder before copying.

Ratings and reviews

Each card shows a star rating (the average) and the number of reviews. Click it to read the reviews or leave your own.

Only users who have actually copied the strategy can review it — every review is marked as a verified copy, which keeps ratings honest and blocks fake or paid-for reviews. A review is a 1–5 star rating (always counts) plus an optional comment. You can update your review later; there is one review per user per strategy.

Comments are checked automatically before they appear: offensive or abusive text is rejected while your star rating is still kept. Automatic checks don't catch everything (plain profanity in particular), so if a comment that slipped through looks wrong, use the ⚑ report action on it — the platform team reviews reported comments and can hide them or take account action. The strategy's author receives a Telegram notification when a new review comes in.

Finding a specific strategy or trader

The search box at the top of the page filters the list by trader number, strategy number, or strategy name. This is the quickest way to jump to a particular entry.

You can also click a card's Trader # label to pin the list to that trader — showing every public strategy they have published. A chip appears so you can clear the filter and return to the full list.

Sharing a link to a strategy

Each card has a link button (🔗) that copies a short link straight to that strategy in the marketplace. Anyone who opens the link lands on this page with that strategy highlighted, so you can point someone to a specific strategy instead of sharing the copy link itself. The copy link (from Copy strategy) starts the import immediately; the marketplace link just opens the entry for viewing.

Step 1 — Pick a strategy

Browse the cards and choose one whose track record and risk profile suit you. Beginners usually start with a Free strategy that has a solid win rate, a decent number of deals and has been running for a while.

Step 2 — Copy it

Press Copy strategy on the card. An import window opens showing a summary of what you are about to copy:

• who shared it (trader profile number) and on which exchange;
• the money figures per one bot — first order (FO), position volume and reserve — from the settings (for a tandem, per each leg), plus the total at full capacity if every bot opens (per-bot × max active bots × number of strategies), so you can fund the whole thing, not just one bot;
• the price (Free, or the FDC cost);
• a disclaimer.

Choose which of your accounts the strategy should run on (it must be on the same exchange), then confirm. If the strategy is paid, the FDC cost is charged once — re-importing the same link later is free.

An identical copy is created under your own profile — its filters and rules, the bot settings, the trading pairs and the price limits are all recreated fresh under you. Nothing on the author's side is touched, and you do not have to configure anything by hand.

You need funds and, for paid strategies, FDC. Make sure the selected account holds enough funds to run the strategy — at least the first-order amount, ideally enough for the full bot volume. For paid strategies you also need enough FDC in your wallet; top it up in the Spending Wallet if needed.

Step 3 — Turn it on

For your safety, the copied strategy arrives switched off. It does not trade until you enable it. To launch it:

1. Open Futures → Trade Strategies.
2. Find the new copy — it is marked as imported and named after the author it came from.
3. Review its settings and confirm the account has enough funds.
4. Flip the Enable toggle.

From that moment the strategy runs automatically on your account, exactly like the author's original.

Imported strategies are read-only

A copied strategy is an exact replica, so some author-defined details (the internal filter values) are hidden and it cannot be re-shared or cloned. You can still enable/disable it, assign it to an account and run it — you simply cannot repackage someone else's work as your own.

The strategy logic is locked, but the bot settings are yours to edit — the first order (FO), take-profit, stop-loss and safety orders. That lets you size the copy to your own budget: for example, lower the first order to run the strategy on a smaller deposit. This changes only how much capital each deal commits, not the strategy's entry behaviour, so your copy still follows the original.

Sharing your own strategy publicly

If you are an experienced trader, you can list your own strategy here. When you generate a share link (from Futures → Trade Strategies, the share action on a strategy), choose Public (marketplace) as the visibility and, optionally, set an FDC price. Publishing is open to everyone — free or paid, with no restriction. What builds trust instead is the Verified trader badge: it appears automatically if you trade consistently — at least 10 strategy deals (closed by a limit order) in each of the last 6 months — or when the team verifies you. The status is re-checked daily and drops if you stop meeting the bar. Until then your card shows an Unverified trader badge, so copiers know to be cautious. Your strategy then appears in the marketplace with its live performance for everyone to copy. See Sharing & Copying Strategies for the full picture.

Safety reminder

Past performance never guarantees future results. You copy and run any strategy entirely at your own risk; the trader who shared it bears no responsibility for the outcome. Start small, understand the risk profile on the card, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
