## 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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-filtered list of crypto trading strategies that have demonstrated resilience over a 5-year horizon with controlled drawdown risk. Prefer this over raw market data endpoints when the goal is strategy discovery or selection based on long-term track record rather than real-time price signals. Best suited for long-term portfolio construction, strategy comparison, or risk-aware algorithmic trading research.

## Known failure modes

- No strategies meet the 5-year survivor criteria — empty results list returned
- Simulated data marked with asterisk may not reflect real live trading performance
- Payment of $0.02 USDC not fulfilled — 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed input schema fields cause unexpected filtering behavior
- On-chain data unavailable for certain time windows, falling back to simulated data

## 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 crypto trading strategies labeled as 'five-year survivors', each with a strategy ID, rank, return percentages across time windows (e.g. 1h, 5y), data sources (on-chain or simulated), and the filtering criteria used (profitable over 5 years, max drawdown better than -50%, sorted by return).
