00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:04.675
In the last chapter, we learned what automatic means in TraderLobby. Now

00:00:04.675 --> 00:00:08.050
we will examine the controls that let you choose which strategies can

00:00:08.050 --> 00:00:11.425
work. The goal is more precise than making a button turn green.

00:00:11.425 --> 00:00:14.800
You should be able to identify a strategy, prepare its context and

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.175
limits, enable it deliberately, and verify what changed. You should also know

00:00:18.175 --> 00:00:21.550
how to stop new activity without accidentally treating an open holding as

00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:22.675
if it had disappeared.

00:00:23.175 --> 00:00:26.646
Start with the Strategies section in the navigation. This is where you

00:00:26.646 --> 00:00:30.118
can explore offerings and open their details. A marketplace card introduces a

00:00:30.118 --> 00:00:33.589
strategy. It is not proof that you have access to it, that

00:00:33.589 --> 00:00:37.061
it is configured in your account, or that its decision engine is

00:00:37.061 --> 00:00:40.532
on. Those are separate states. Keep that distinction in mind even when

00:00:40.532 --> 00:00:43.425
a familiar name appears in several parts of the app.

00:00:43.925 --> 00:00:47.801
Use the search and available collections to find the strategy in the

00:00:47.801 --> 00:00:51.677
demonstration. Read its name and creator or source before opening it. If

00:00:51.677 --> 00:00:55.554
the list looks smaller than expected, check your search, filters, and selected

00:00:55.554 --> 00:00:59.430
collection. A narrow view can hide an offering without removing it from

00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:03.306
the catalog. A loading error is different from a successful search that

00:01:03.306 --> 00:01:04.275
has no matches.

00:01:04.775 --> 00:01:08.770
Your Trading workspace provides another useful view: the strategies selected for that

00:01:08.770 --> 00:01:12.766
context. The strategy cards there summarize the mode, enabled state, and available

00:01:12.766 --> 00:01:16.761
activity or capacity information. Open a card's settings to inspect its controls.

00:01:16.761 --> 00:01:20.757
The marketplace helps you discover and understand an offering; the Trading view

00:01:20.757 --> 00:01:24.752
helps you manage the strategies selected for use. Neither view should be

00:01:24.752 --> 00:01:26.750
interpreted without checking Paper or Live.

00:01:27.250 --> 00:01:31.203
Availability can depend on access, account requirements, or the offering's current state.

00:01:31.203 --> 00:01:35.156
Read the reason shown when an action is unavailable. Do not purchase

00:01:35.156 --> 00:01:39.110
access or change the account mode simply to make a lesson button

00:01:39.110 --> 00:01:43.063
usable. Our demonstration will use an eligible example strategy in an isolated

00:01:43.063 --> 00:01:47.016
Paper account. You can follow the explanation without enabling anything in your

00:01:47.016 --> 00:01:47.675
own account.

00:01:48.175 --> 00:01:51.566
The same strategy may appear in a marketplace list, a subscription list,

00:01:51.566 --> 00:01:54.958
and a Trading card for different reasons. Think of those as different

00:01:54.958 --> 00:01:58.349
questions being answered. What exists? What access do I have? What have

00:01:58.349 --> 00:02:01.740
I selected for this mode? A name appearing in one list does

00:02:01.740 --> 00:02:05.132
not answer the other two questions. A name disappearing from a filtered

00:02:05.132 --> 00:02:07.675
list does not establish that its automation has stopped.

00:02:08.175 --> 00:02:12.141
For your first checkpoint, find the example strategy in the marketplace and

00:02:12.141 --> 00:02:16.107
locate where you would manage its selected-mode settings. Say which view you

00:02:16.107 --> 00:02:20.073
are using and what it proves. If you cannot yet identify the

00:02:20.073 --> 00:02:24.039
mode or access state, pause the exercise at that point. A clear

00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.675
starting context makes every later change easier to understand and verify.
