Strategy Marketplace & Library

The Strategy Marketplace turns Predite into a two-way bot ecosystem. Instead of building every automated strategy from scratch, you can fork a configuration that someone else has already tuned, publish your own bot for the community to use, and study an official, Predite-maintained library of templates with live backtested stats. This page covers all of it: the community **Marketplace** (`/dashboard/marketplace`), the official **Strategy Library** (`/dashboard/strategies-library`), how publishing and forking actually work under the hood, the likes/forks reputation system, and the plan gating you need to know before you click anything.

## Two Surfaces, One Goal

Predite ships two distinct strategy hubs, and it's worth understanding the difference up front because they look similar but behave differently.

Both surfaces require the **Pro plan** ($59/mo) or higher just to browse. **Forking** a strategy into a working bot requires the **Bot plan** ($99/mo), because a fork creates a real, executable bot in your account — and bots are a Bot-tier feature. More on that below.

## The Community Marketplace

### Browsing and sorting

Open **Dashboard → Marketplace**. You'll see a grid of published strategies, each shown as a card with:

Use the two sort tabs at the top:

1. **🔥 Popular** — ranks by total likes. This is the default and the best starting point. 2. **🆕 Recent** — ranks by publish date, newest first. Good for spotting fresh ideas before they accumulate likes.

You can also filter by **tag** or by **template** to narrow down to, say, only arbitrage strategies or only news-reaction bots.

### Reading reported stats critically

The trades / win rate / P&L numbers on a community card are **self-reported by the author** at publish time. Treat them as a starting hypothesis, not proof. A strategy showing "62% win rate, +$1,400 over 30d" might be real, cherry-picked, or measured during an unusually favorable market window. Two habits protect you:

### Likes and forks: the reputation layer

Reputation on the Marketplace is intentionally simple and trader-honest:

When you publish, these counters become your public track record. A strategy that accumulates forks is the closest thing Predite has to a community endorsement.

## Forking a Strategy

Forking is the core action of the Marketplace. A **fork creates a brand-new, independent bot in your own account** with the same configuration as the source strategy — it is *not* a live link. The original author can later change or delete their published strategy and your forked bot is completely unaffected.

### Requirements

- **Bot plan, active subscription.** The fork endpoint checks your plan server-side and returns a clear "Bot plan required to fork strategies" message if you're on Starter or Pro. Browsing is Pro; forking is Bot.

### How to fork — step by step

1. On the Marketplace, find a strategy you want and click the **⑂ Fork** button on its card. 2. Predite creates a new bot in your account named **`<Strategy Name> (fork)`**. 3. The bot is created **paused** by default. This is deliberate — nothing trades until you explicitly review and start it. 4. The bot's **platform defaults to Polymarket**. You can switch it to Kalshi (or adjust anything else) afterward in the bot editor. 5. The source strategy's **fork counter increments**, and you'll see a success toast pointing you to **Dashboard → Bots** to edit the new bot.

### What gets copied — and what doesn't

### After forking: the safe path to live

Because a fork starts paused, you control the entire ramp-up:

1. Open the bot in **Dashboard → Bots** and review every parameter. A config that suited the author's bankroll may be too aggressive (or too timid) for yours — pay special attention to `max_size_usd`. 2. Run a **backtest** to see how the strategy performed on recent history. See [Backtesting](/docs/backtesting). 3. Switch the bot to **paper mode** and let it run on virtual capital for a meaningful sample — aim for 30+ closed trades. See [Paper Trading](/docs/paper-trading). 4. Only then enable **live execution**, which itself requires the Bot plan and a connected wallet. See [Live Trading](/docs/live-trading) and [Connecting Your Wallet](/docs/connecting-wallet).

## Publishing Your Own Strategy

Sharing a bot you've built is how you earn reputation — and help the community. Publishing happens from the **Bots** page, not the Marketplace.

### How to publish — step by step

1. Go to **Dashboard → Bots** and find the bot you want to share. 2. Click the **🏪 Publicar / Publish** button on that bot's card. A publish modal opens. 3. Fill in the **public-facing details**. These are separate from your private bot: - **Name** — defaults to your bot's name, but you can give the public version a clearer title. - **Description** — explain what the strategy does, when it works best, and known risks. This is the single biggest factor in whether people fork you. - **Tags** — up to 10, for discoverability (e.g. `arbitrage`, `low-variance`, `news`). 4. Submit. Predite creates a Marketplace entry via the strategies API with **visibility = published**, so it appears in the public Marketplace immediately.

### What publishing shares — and what it protects

Publishing copies only the strategy's **template and configuration**. It deliberately does **not** expose:

In other words, a published strategy is a **recipe**, not a window into your account. People who fork it get the recipe and cook with their own ingredients.

### Visibility options

Strategies support three visibility states:

You can edit your strategy's name, description, tags, and visibility, or delete it entirely, at any time. Editing or deleting a published strategy does **not** affect bots that others have already forked from it.

### Publishing tips

## The Official Strategy Library

The **Strategy Library** (`/dashboard/strategies-library`, Pro plan) is Predite's curated catalog. Unlike community entries, these are maintained by Predite and come with structured documentation and a live backtest.

### What each entry includes

Every Library strategy is an expandable card showing:

The five current entries are **EV Follower** (signal-driven auto-buys on edge), **ARB Hunter** (cross-platform Polymarket↔Kalshi arbitrage), **Whale Copier** (mirrors verified top wallets), **Mean Reversion** (fades unexplained extreme moves), and **News Reactor** (trades breaking headlines via AI Market Match).

### Running a live 30-day backtest

The Library's standout feature is **Preview Backtest 30d**:

1. Expand any strategy card. 2. Click **Preview Backtest 30d**. Predite runs the strategy's config through the backtest engine against the last 30 days of real market history. 3. You get back **trades, win rate, P&L, and max drawdown** for that window.

This is the honest counterpart to the community Marketplace's self-reported numbers: the same engine, the same recent data, every time. Note that expected win rate and Sharpe are **2-year estimates** — the live 30-day backtest reflects only the current regime and will swing with volatility. Read both together.

### From Library to bot

Click **Use this strategy →** on any Library entry to jump to the bot builder with that template pre-selected (`/dashboard/bots?template=<id>`). From there it's the same safe ramp: configure, backtest, paper trade, then go live. The Library is the recommended on-ramp for new bot builders because the configs are sane defaults and the backtest gives you immediate, trustworthy feedback. For a deeper look at each engine's parameters, see [Bot Strategies](/docs/bot-strategies).
