## 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-best-1-month-return-strategies-321adc7c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the best-performing monthly trading strategies ranked by return over the last year — I want to see which ones actually beat costs and how they did across different time windows?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, cost-adjusted leaderboard of strategies specifically optimized for monthly call frequency and best 1-year return. It is ideal when the user wants a recommendation rather than open-ended exploration — the Brain surfaces one top pick. Prefer it over generic market data endpoints when the goal is strategy selection, not raw price or indicator data. Best for intermediate-level users who want actionable ranked output with multi-window performance context.

## Known failure modes

- No strategies match the monthly-best-return criteria for the lookback period — returns empty results array
- Payment not fulfilled (x402) — request rejected before strategy data is returned
- Backend Brain unavailable — returns HTTP 5xx with no strategy list
- Stale or incomplete data for some time windows — return_pct may be null or marked as simulated with asterisk
- Malformed request parameters — may return generic error or default result set

## 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 strategies (with IDs and ranks), each annotated with return percentages across multiple time windows (e.g. 1h, 5y), data source labels (on-chain or simulated), the criteria used for ranking (monthly calls, highest post-cost return over 1 year), and the difficulty level of the strategies (e.g. intermediate).
