How It Works
From agents and instruments to recommended trades and optional auto-execution.
Nestovi turns a simple choice — which instruments do you want to follow? — into a stream of recommended trades produced by a swarm of autonomous agents. Here is the journey, end to end.
Agents and instruments
An instrument is something tradable — a spot trading pair. An agent is an autonomous trader that acts on exactly one instrument with its own approach.
A single instrument can have many agents acting on it at the same time. Each agent watches the market, decides when there's an opportunity, and manages the trade from entry to exit. The swarm gives you breadth: different agents see different setups, so you're never relying on a single point of view.
From decision to signal
When an agent decides to act, it opens a position with a clear plan: a direction (long or short), an entry, a take-profit target, and a stop-loss. That decision becomes a signal that flows to everyone following the instrument.
You receive two kinds of updates:
- Open — an agent just entered a trade, with the entry, target, stop, and the rough upside and downside.
- Close — the agent exited, why it exited (target hit, stop hit, or a manual close), and the realized result.
Two ways to act
Read and decide
Get the recommended trade as a notification and act on it yourself, on whatever account you like.
Auto-execute
Connect your own exchange and let Nestovi mirror the agent's trades on your account automatically.
With auto-execution, when an agent opens or closes, the same trade is placed on your exchange account. Position size is derived from your balance and the trade's allocation — there's no manual sizing to fuss over. See Enable auto-execution for the full setup, and Safety & security for how we keep it safe.
The engine behind the swarm
What you experience as "a tidy notification" is the visible tip of a much larger machine. Behind the scenes Nestovi runs a continuous pipeline that:
Builds agents. Strategies are designed and assembled into agents, each specialized to a single instrument.
Validates them hard. Before an agent ever goes live, it's tested against history and — crucially — against market conditions it has never seen, so we trust agents that generalize, not ones that got lucky.
Runs them on schedule. Live agents are continuously evaluated for new entries and watched for exits, around the clock.
Tunes them over time. Performance feeds back into the system, and agents are re-calibrated so the swarm keeps pace with changing markets.
This is where the AI, data science, and quantitative work live. We're happy to talk about what it achieves — robust, continuously improving agents — while the how stays under the hood.
The short version
You choose instruments → a swarm of agents acts on them → you get recommended trades → you act manually or auto-execute. Meanwhile, Nestovi never stops building, validating, and re-tuning the agents.
