## 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-5-minute-strategies-by-sharpe-c78a70a2
```

Example prompt: Pull up the best 5-minute trading strategies ranked by Sharpe ratio — I want to see which ones had the highest risk-adjusted returns over the past 30 days so I can decide what to run next.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of 5-minute trading strategies specifically optimized for Sharpe ratio (risk-adjusted return), rather than raw return or win rate. It is ideal for agents building strategy selection workflows, portfolio rotation logic, or research dashboards focused on short-term quantitative trading. Prefer this over general market data endpoints when the goal is strategy comparison rather than price or order book data.

## Known failure modes

- No strategies meet the Sharpe criteria for the requested window — empty results list returned
- Stale or simulated data flagged with asterisk may not reflect live market conditions
- Endpoint returns HTTP 402 if payment of 0.01 USDC is not included — requires x402 payment header
- Malformed input schema fields may result in unexpected filtering behavior
- Rate limiting or access restrictions may cause 429 or 403 errors

## 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.
