## 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-top-strategies-leaderboard-bb11f2e8
```

Example prompt: Pull up the top 15 crypto strategies from ManyLives ranked by after-costs return over the last month, using the 1-hour prediction horizon, and flag any that pass the luck correction test.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a ranked leaderboard of pre-built, verifiable trading strategies rather than building your own model. It is ideal when you want point-in-time historical leaderboard snapshots, statistical significance checks, or after-cost return comparisons across 2,000+ strategies without managing your own backtesting infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid book ID returns empty results or a 400 error
- Requesting a window with no data for the given filters returns an empty top array
- Invalid sort value may return an error or fall back to default
- as_of date in the future or before data availability may return empty results
- limit exceeding 25 is rejected or capped
- Payment not processed (402) blocks the response

## Output

A JSON object with a 'top' array of strategy records, each containing the strategy ID, book, number of scored periods, hit rate, a luck-check label, gross return percentage, and after-costs return percentage. Also includes the window and ranking criterion used.
