Setting up ATF (custom strategy for the autotrader) is straightforward. Here’s what to know:
ATF Step-by-Step User Manual
Start here if this is your first time using ATF.
Complete these steps to create, test, and run a strategy safely.
What You Need Before You Start
You do NOT need:
To write code
To be a pro trader
To already have a “strategy template”
You DO need:
An &milo account (email/social login is fine)
An &milo-managed trading wallet (created during onboarding)
Some funds in that wallet to run the strategy
If you haven’t onboarded yet (wallet + funding), complete the regular milo onboarding first, then come back here.
Step 1 - Open AI Auto‑Trade
Go to app.andmilo.com
In the left nav, click AI auto‑trade (NEW)
You’ll see the AI Auto‑Trade workspace with top tabs:
Home (timeline / positions)
Action Log (what milo did + why)
Settings (where you activate Auto mode + pick strategies)
Chat (talk to milo)
Step 2 - Go to Settings
Click Settings (top right tab)
Switch to Advanced (recommended)
Advanced is where you can choose the Model, adjust behavior, and manage strategies.
Step 3 - Turn Auto Mode ON (This Activates Auto Trader)
In Settings → Advanced:
Toggle Auto mode: ON
(Optional) Adjust the Low ↔ High slider (more conservative ↔ more aggressive)
this will auto chose preset milo ATF based on the risk
✅ If Auto mode is OFF, the strategy will NOT execute trades automatically.
Step 4 - Choose Your Active Strategy
In Settings → Strategy you’ll see your active strategy banner/card.
You have 2 common paths:
Option A - Use a Strategy from the ATF Marketplace (Fastest)
Scroll to ATF Marketplace
Browse categories (examples shown):
All
Memes
Majors
Stables
xStocks
My Tokens List
Click a strategy to select it
Confirm it becomes your Active Strategy in the Strategy section
Tip: Strategies show a “using” count — a quick signal of how many people are currently running it.
Option B - Create Your Own Strategy
In Settings → Strategy, click Create strategy
In Create Strategy, set:
Name & Share
Strategy name
Description
Privacy toggle (PRIVATE or Public)
Asset Allocation (Strategy Mix)
Choose the mix across buckets (examples shown):
Trenches, Memes, Promising memes, Staking, Majors, Native, Stables, xStocks, My Tokens List
My Tokens List (optional)
Add tickers (e.g., SOL, BONK) when using a custom token universe
Trade controls
Min Ticket Size (example shown: 50 USD)
Max Daily Positions (leave empty for default)
Strategy Prompt
Write the behavior + entry/exit intent in plain language
Click Create & use to immediately activate it as your selected strategy
(The other button typically just creates without activating.)
Step 5 - Save Changes (Required)
At the bottom of Settings:
Click Save changes
✅ This is the step that applies your configuration (Auto mode + strategy selection + allocations).
If you skip this, you may think Auto Trader is enabled, but it won’t actually run with the new settings.
Step 6 - Monitor What It’s Doing
Use the top tabs:
Home
See timeline + position history and how the strategy is behaving.
Action Log
See each action taken (or skipped) and the reasoning trail.
Chat
Ask questions like:
“Why did you enter this trade?”
“What would make you exit?”
“Reduce aggressiveness / tighten risk”
How to Pause / Stop Auto‑Trade
To stop auto execution immediately:
Go to Settings
Toggle Auto mode: OFF
Click Save changes
You can also switch strategies anytime (then Save changes again).
Troubleshooting: “It’s ON but not trading”
Common causes:
You turned Auto mode ON but didn’t press Save changes
Wallet balance is below Min Ticket Size
You selected a strategy bucket but set its allocation to 0%
You chose My Tokens List but didn’t add any tickers
You hit Max Daily Positions (if you set one)
Market conditions don’t match the strategy rules (so it correctly does nothing)
🚧 Coming soon:Arena + Leaderboard (LB)
Arena will be the competitive layer for ATF strategies, and the Leaderboard will rank strategies over time windows (ex: 30D).
During alpha you may see mock/test data while this rolls out.
