### Step 2: Choose an instrument

Choose an instrument to trade by searching for an instrument name or ticker symbol.&#x20;

### Step 3: Select a timeframe

The time frame is the period of time when the price movements take place. This could be anywhere from 3 minute to 60 minutes. For example, if you strategy use a 15 minute timeframe, all price movements will occur across 15 minutes.

### Step 4: Give your strategy a name

Strategies are automatically given a name, so head to the backtest report and edit for a more  memorable name thats easy to find in future.
