## 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-track-records-5-minute-best-return-strategies-638e05df
```

Example prompt: Show me the best 5-minute trading strategies ranked by return after costs over the past 7 days — I want the top performers at the intermediate level with both short-term and long-term return windows.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a ranked, ready-to-use list of the best 5-minute trading strategies by return, especially when you want results filtered by recent performance (last 7 days) and cost-adjusted returns. Prefer this over general market data endpoints when your goal is strategy selection rather than raw price data, and when you want a recommendation rather than having to rank strategies yourself.

## Known failure modes

- No strategies match the criteria — empty results array returned
- Data source unavailable for a given window — returns simulated or partial data
- Invalid or missing query parameters — endpoint may return generic or default results
- Stale data if market feeds have not refreshed — return_pct values may lag
- Payment failure (x402) prevents access — HTTP 402 returned with no payload

## 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 strategies, each with a strategy ID, rank, return percentages across multiple time windows (e.g. 1h, 5y), data source labels (on-chain or simulated), and the filtering criteria used (e.g. highest return after costs over last 7 days). The response also includes a difficulty level and a plain-language description of the list.
