# Your First Strategy Search

## Step 1: Type Your Query

In the Atlas chat, type what you're looking for. For example:

> "Show me the best SSA strategies for Bitcoin on the 1-hour timeframe"

Press **Enter** or click the send button.

### Step 2: Answer Any Follow-Up Questions

If Atlas needs more detail, it will present you with multiple-choice options. For example, it might ask which direction you prefer — Long Only, Short Only, or Both.

Click an option to continue, or type your answer.

### Step 3: Review Your Results

Atlas displays up to 5 matching strategies, each with:

* A **metrics panel** showing net profit, win rate, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, profit factor, and total trades
* An **equity curve chart** showing how the strategy performed over time
* The **entry and exit conditions** (which trigger and states were used)

### Step 4: Keep Exploring

Continue the conversation to dig deeper:

* *"Show me the same for ETH"*
* *"Any of these with a drawdown under 10%?"*
* *"Sort by win rate instead"*
* *"What does the Fair Value Trail filter do?"*

Atlas remembers your conversation context (within each session), so you can refine naturally.
