## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability manylives-5-minute-trading-strategies-not-luck-0c08f339
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 5-minute crypto trading strategies that statistically beat random chance — I want the ones ranked by return that outperformed at least 90% of coin-flip strategies over the last 7 days.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need statistically validated short-term (5-minute) trading strategies ranked by return, specifically filtered against random-chance benchmarks. It is ideal for quantitative traders, bot builders, or analysts who want evidence-based strategy discovery without manually navigating forms or dropdowns. Prefer this over generic strategy screeners when you need on-chain sourced performance data with explicit benchmark comparisons.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — returns 402 if USDC micropayment is missing or insufficient
- Malformed input schema — returns error if required/properties fields are not properly structured
- No strategies meet the threshold — list may return empty if no strategies beat the benchmark in the current window
- Simulated data caveat — some long-window returns (e.g. 5y) are marked as simulated and may not reflect live performance
- Rate limiting or service unavailability — endpoint may return 503 during high load

## How this service works

No forms, no dropdowns. Describe the outcome in plain words and the Brain asks what it must, lists the job, collects offers and recommends one.

## Output

A JSON object containing a ranked list of 5-minute trading strategies with IDs, ranks, return percentages across multiple time windows (e.g. 1h, 5y), data source labels (on-chain vs simulated), filtering criteria applied, and a summary of the performance threshold used (e.g. beat 90% of coin-flip strategies over 7 days).
