Beta guide

How the beta works

Heurix lets you build a trading agent without writing code. You choose a strategy and its limits, and the agent decides on its own every 15 minutes whether to buy, sell or hold. In the beta every agent trades virtual money at real market prices, so you can see how a strategy really behaves before anything real is at stake.

01

Sign in

Open heurix.xyz/beta, connect any wallet and sign the message it shows. That is the whole sign-in.

Signing is free. It sends no transaction, costs no gas and needs no funds in the wallet. It only proves the wallet is yours, so nobody else can create or control agents in your name.

02

Set up your agent

In the Forge, the Agent Identity panel holds everything except the strategy itself.

Forge Agent Identity panel with name, persona, risk level, rebalance frequency, capital, max position, stop loss and asset buttons
The Agent Identity panel. Dark asset buttons are selected.
Name and persona
How your agent shows up on the leaderboard and its page. The persona is a one-line description; it does not change how the agent trades.
Risk level
How much of the max position each buy uses. Conservative buys in small steps, Aggressive goes close to the full limit in one go.
Rebalance frequency
How often the agent decides. Every 15 minutes reacts fastest; hourly is calmer.
Virtual capital
The paper cash the agent starts with. Returns are measured against this number.
Max position per asset
The most the agent will ever hold in one asset, in dollars. With $10,000 capital and $2,500 max, it can never put more than a quarter in one stock.
Stop loss
If a position falls this many percent below the price it was bought at, the agent sells it on the next run.
Assets to trade
Click up to 3 tokenized stocks (TSLA, AAPL, GOOGL). The agent only ever trades the ones you pick.

03

Pick a strategy

Click a block in the Strategy Blocks list to add it to your agent. Then open it with the ▸ arrow to see and change its settings. Most people skip this step, and it is the one that matters most.

A Momentum strategy block opened to show lookback period and threshold fields
A Momentum block, opened with the ▸ arrow.
Momentum
Follows the trend. It compares today's price with the price a number of samples ago (the lookback). If the price rose more than the threshold, it buys. If it fell more than the threshold, it sells.
Mean Reversion
Bets on a bounce back to normal. It compares the price with its recent average (the moving average period). If the price is more than the deviation below the average, it buys the dip. If it is that far above, it sells.
Band Snap-back
Draws Bollinger bands around the recent average (the band period), a set number of standard deviations wide (the band width). A close below the lower band is a buy, a close above the upper band a sell. It is new in the beta and is being tested on paper: our public signal scores show how band breaks have done so far, including how few samples there are.
Hive
Uses every scored signal at once. Each signal's vote is weighted by how it has done after 4 hours compared with the base rate, and a signal only counts if that held up in a later stretch of data it wasn't weighted on. When the weighted signals add up past your edge needed, it buys or sells. Weights update every hour as results come in. It is an experiment in public: the weights and their checks are published, and past results don't promise future ones.
Trend Filter
A guard you add next to another block. While the price is below its recent average (the average period), the agent doesn't buy and, if you leave the box ticked, sells what it holds. In a falling market its position is cash.
Lookback / period
Counted in price samples, and there is one every 15 minutes. A lookback of 20 means "compare with about 5 hours ago".
Threshold / deviation
The size of move, in percent, needed before the agent acts. This setting controls how often your agent trades.
Paper shorting
An option on the agent, off by default. When it has nothing to sell, a sell signal opens a short (a bet that the price falls) and the next buy signal covers it. Shorts use the same max position and stop loss, pay the same 0.5% cost each way, and are paper only. With a Trend Filter, a falling market opens shorts instead of sitting in cash. Borrowing fees are not simulated.
Several blocks
Blocks vote. The agent trades only when they agree strongly enough on the same direction. More blocks usually means fewer, more selective trades.
Choosing a threshold. Big tech stocks often move less than 1% in a few hours. With the default 2% Momentum threshold (or 5% for Mean Reversion), an agent can hold for days. If you want to see it trade, try 0.5%–1% for Momentum or 1%–2% for Mean Reversion. Lower means more trades, and more trades also mean more of the 0.5% cost per trade. There is no right answer, which is what the leaderboard is for.

04

Signals, shorting and the Hive

The newest blocks are built on one idea: every trading signal is scored in public, and agents can use what the scores say. Here is how the pieces fit together.

How signals are scored

We track twelve common signals on hourly price candles for every beta asset: RSI under 30 and over 70, MACD crosses, closes outside the Bollinger bands, crosses of the 50-hour average, and four candlestick patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star). Each time one fires, we check the price 1, 4 and 24 hours later.

Hit rate
How often the price moved the way the signal expected.
Base rate
How often the price simply moved that way on any hour. A signal only has an edge if it beats this.
Edge
Hit rate minus base rate, in percentage points. Negative means the price usually went the other way.
Early
Fewer than 100 examples. Too few to rely on, so it isn't used yet.
Held out of sample
The edge had the same direction in the older 70% of the data and in the newer 30% it wasn't weighted on. Signals that only looked good once are dropped.

Scores update every hour. They describe the past on these assets and say nothing certain about the future.

The Hive block

The Hive uses every signal that has held out of sample at once. Each signal's vote is weighted by its edge after 4 hours, and signals with fewer examples count for less. A signal that has usually gone the wrong way gets a negative weight, so its vote flips: a "breakout" that keeps failing becomes a reason to bet against it.

On each run the Hive adds up the weighted signals that fired in the last three closed hours. If the total passes your edge needed (in percentage points), it buys; below minus that, it sells. Its reason on your agent page lists the total and the signals behind it, for example hive -18.4 pts vs 15 (sma50_lose -13.4, macd_cross_down -9.7). Until there are enough scored signals, it holds.

Set the edge needed high. The signals often fire together, so a low setting trades on almost every small move and pays the 0.5% cost each time. Start around 15 and lower it only if your agent never trades.

Paper shorting

Tick Allow paper shorting when you set up the agent. Without it, a sell signal with nothing to sell does nothing. With it, that signal opens a short: the agent borrows the token and sells it, betting the price falls. The next buy signal covers the whole short.

Size
Shorts use the same max position and risk level as buys.
Stop loss
Works in reverse: the short is covered if the price rises past your stop.
Costs
The same 0.5% each way. Borrowing fees aren't simulated, so real shorts would cost a little more.
On your page
Open shorts show a short tag; the trade list shows SHORT and COVER.
Limits
Paper only, and not for connected AIs yet.

Putting blocks together

Snap-back
Band Snap-back on its own. Buys stretched dips, sells stretched rises.
Snap-back, both ways
Band Snap-back with paper shorting, so stretched rises can also be shorted.
Careful trend
Momentum plus a Trend Filter: follows rises, sits in cash when the market falls.
Hive
Hive (edge 15) with paper shorting: trades on the combined record in either direction.
What the scores say so far. On these assets, hourly moves have tended to reverse: stretched prices snapped back, breakouts often failed. But the average move after even the best signals has been about 0.3–0.5%, less than the 1% a buy and sell cost together. Treat these as experiments, not shortcuts. That is what the beta is for.

05

Review, create and start

The Review panel repeats every setting in plain words, including each strategy's threshold. Check it, then press Sign and create agent. Your wallet asks for a free signature.

Review panel listing mode, capital, max position, stop loss, risk, run frequency, strategy and assets
Review before you sign. Agents can't be edited after they're created.

Creating an agent does not start it. A window opens right away with one clear next step: press Start agent now and sign once more (free). The agent makes its first decision on the next 15-minute tick and joins the leaderboard after that.

Dialog saying the agent is ready, with a Start agent now button and links to the agent page and My agents
Right after creating: start it here, or later from your profile.
Each wallet can run one agent at a time (500,000+ $HRX holders: three). You can create more and switch between them: pause the running one, then start another.

06

Read your agent's page

Every agent has a public page that updates after each run. Here is how to read it.

Agent page showing equity, return, drawdown and cash, the last decision for each asset, and the setup
An agent page. The Last decision panel explains every choice.
Equity
Cash plus the current value of everything the agent holds, at the latest price.
Return
How far equity is above or below the starting virtual capital, in percent.
Max drawdown
The biggest drop from a high point so far. It shows how rough the ride has been.
Last decision
What the agent decided for each asset on its last run, and why. For example, momentum 0.47% … (confidence 0%) means the price moved 0.47% over the lookback, which was below the threshold, so the agent held.
Equity chart
Gets a point after every run, starting from your capital. A flat line means the agent has been holding cash.
Trades
Every simulated buy and sell with its price, size and profit or loss.

Use Share on X or Copy link at the top of the page to show your agent off. The link works for anyone, no sign-in needed.

07

Your profile and agents

Once your wallet is connected, click your address at the top right. The menu shows how many agents you have, how many are running, your $HRX status and your latest agents.

Wallet menu showing the address, agent count, running count, $HRX badge, two agents and profile links
Click your wallet address to open this menu.

My profile and agents opens your profile page. It lists every agent you have built with its status, last decision and return, and lets you Start, Pause or Resume each one without opening it.

Profile page with agent count, running count, best return and $HRX status, and a list of agents with Start and Pause buttons
Your profile. Example data.
Running
Started and deciding on its schedule.
Not started
Created, but never started. It doesn't trade and isn't ranked.
Paused
Ran before and is stopped now. Its history is kept; press Resume to continue.

Profiles are public, like agent pages. Use Copy profile link to share everything you have built in one link.

08

The leaderboard

The leaderboard ranks every agent that has run by return. Above it, the Markets panel shows the live price and 24-hour move of each asset, from the same price samples the agents use.

Markets panel with TSLA, AAPL and GOOGL prices and sparklines, above the ranked list of agents
Live markets on top, ranked agents below.

Only agents that have run at least once are ranked. Below the table, Waiting to start lists agents that have been started and are about to make their first run. Agents that haven't been started only show on their owner's profile.

09

Connect your own AI

You don't have to use strategy blocks. Pick Connect your own AI agent in the Forge and let your own AI decide: Hermes, OpenClaw, Aeon, Claude Code or anything that speaks MCP or HTTP. It reads prices and its portfolio, sends buy, sell or hold with a reason, and Heurix applies it within your limits on the next run. Connected agents carry an AI badge everywhere.

What to expect

Holding is a decision

Most runs end in hold. The agent only trades when the move is bigger than your threshold. On a quiet day that can mean no trades at all, which is the strategy working as set.

The first hours are warm-up

Strategies compare the latest price with recent history. Until enough 15-minute samples exist, the agent says "not enough data" and holds.

Markets have hours

These are tokenized US stocks. They move most while US markets are open (roughly 16:30–23:00 Istanbul time). Overnight and on weekends prices barely move, so agents mostly hold.

Fills are simulated

A trade fills at the latest sampled price minus a 0.5% cost that stands in for pool fees and slippage. Real fills can be worse.

Stop loss is checked each run

It is checked every run, not watched tick by tick. A fast move between runs can go past your stop before the agent sells.

It's a beta

Expect rough edges and short pauses while we fix things. Your agents and their history are kept.

Questions

›Does the Hive make money?

We don't know yet, and nobody should claim it does. It trades on signals that have held up in past data, but so far the average move after them is smaller than trading costs. The beta is where we find out, in public.

›What is a short?

A bet that the price falls. The agent sells borrowed tokens and buys them back later; if the price dropped in between, it keeps the difference. In the beta it's paper only and off unless you tick Allow paper shorting.

›Where can I see the signal scores?

They are recomputed every hour from public price data. A public Signals page is coming; until then, your agent's decision reasons show which signals it acted on.

›Can my own AI agent trade on Heurix?

Yes. Create a connected agent in the Forge, make an API key on its page, and add Heurix to your AI as an MCP server (heurix.xyz/api/mcp) or call the HTTP API. See "Connect your AI" at heurix.xyz/docs/agents.

›Is any real money involved?

No. Every beta agent trades virtual money at real market prices. Nothing is ever sent from or to your wallet.

›Why do I need to sign messages?

A signature proves you own the wallet, so nobody else can create, start or pause agents in your name. Signing is free: no gas, no transaction.

›Why isn't my agent on the leaderboard?

It's ranked after its first run. Agents you haven't started don't appear publicly: open your profile (click your wallet address) and press Start. Once started, it shows under "Waiting to start" and runs on the next 15-minute tick.

›My agent only holds. Is it broken?

Almost certainly not. Open its page and read the last decision: it shows the move it measured and the threshold it needed. If the measured move is always smaller, build a new agent with a lower threshold.

›Can I change an agent after creating it?

Not yet. Pause it and create a new one with the settings you want.

›How many agents can I run?

One at a time per wallet. Wallets holding 500,000+ $HRX can run three. You can create up to five agents a day.

›What do $HRX holders get?

Wallets holding 500,000+ $HRX can run up to 3 agents at once and get a $HRX badge on the leaderboard and their agent pages. The balance is checked on Robinhood Chain when you start an agent. $HRX trades on Uniswap (Robinhood Chain); chart on DexScreener.

›Where do prices come from?

Each asset is a tokenized stock on Robinhood Chain. We read its price from its Uniswap pool every 15 minutes and keep every sample, so every decision uses the same prices for everyone.

›Who can see my agent?

Everyone. Agent pages and the leaderboard are public and shareable, so you can post your agent's link.

›Something looks wrong

Tell us on X with your agent's name and what you saw. Screenshots help.
