Browse the catalogue, allocate USDC, and Velocity places the trades for you. Stop whenever you want. ## Browse Open the **Strategies** tab. Each strategy shows: * Live PnL and recent activity. * The markets it trades. * Historical performance over 7d, 30d, and 90d. * A risk level. Click any strategy to see the full profile. ## Start Click **Follow** on a strategy. The modal asks for: * **Allocation**: total USDC you commit. * **Max loss**: the drawdown level at which the strategy auto-stops. * **Sizing**: proportional (default) or fixed. The first time you follow any strategy, you sign three one-time approvals: builder fee, agent provision, agent approval. After that, no signatures. ### Sizing modes * **Proportional**: each trade is sized as the same percentage of your allocation as the strategy's reference size. Tracks the strategy's risk profile. * **Fixed**: each trade is a flat USDC amount. Useful when testing with a small position. Most users want proportional. ## Stop Click **Stop** in the strategy modal, or from the **Active strategies** row at the bottom. When you stop, Velocity: 1. Closes any open positions the strategy opened. 2. Calculates your net PnL. 3. If positive, prompts you to settle the performance fee (0% to 20% of net profit, set per strategy). Signed by your main wallet. 4. Marks the strategy inactive. No fee if you ended flat or negative. ## Limits * One active run per strategy on your account. * Prediction markets aren't included in strategies today. ## Risk Strategies inherit market risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Historical drawdowns can be exceeded. Start with a small allocation and read the profile. Velocity surfaces strategies. We do not underwrite them. You keep custody of your USDC at all times and can stop a strategy or revoke the agent whenever you want. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://velocity-1.gitbook.io/velocity-docs/features/strategies.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
