# Strategy templates

> Start from a ready-made strategy and fill in your own markets.

A template gives you a strategy's condition and action shape without building it node by node. Use one to start faster, then review and edit before you run it.

## Start from a template

Click **New Strategy**, then choose a template instead of building from an empty canvas.

* The four quick picks apply immediately with real markets already chosen for you.
* **More** opens the full **Strategy templates** list, including **Surprise me!** for a random pick.

You can also skip templates and drag nodes onto an empty canvas yourself. See [Strategy builder overview](/strategy-builder/overview).

## Fill the market slots

Some templates from the full list ask you to choose the markets yourself. Drag a market from the left **Market** panel into each named slot. **Create Strategy** stays disabled until every slot is filled.

Once every slot is filled, click **Create Strategy** to build the strategy on the canvas.

## Template reference

| Template                     | What it does                                                 |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Take-Profit Ladder           | Buy once, cash out 50% on a rise, exit the rest higher.      |
| High-Conviction Entry Ladder | Buy 50%, then 30%, then 20% as the market gets cheaper.      |
| Timed Value Entry            | In the last 24 hours before close, buy after a 15% drop.     |
| Conviction Barbell           | On a 10% dip, split 75% into conviction, 25% into a hedge.   |
| Profit & Protect             | Take partial profit on a 20% rise, hedge on a 30% fall.      |
| Armed Reversal Exit          | After a 10% rise, exit if price falls back to entry.         |
| Resolution Bolt-On           | If a catalyst resolves YES, buy a beneficiary market.        |
| Price Bolt-On                | When a signal market gains 5 points, buy a different market. |
| Bracket Exit                 | Buy once, then exit at a 20% target or a 15% stop.           |
| Managed Barbell              | Split 70/30 into primary and hedge, each with its own exits. |
| Catalyst Rotation Pipeline   | Catalyst fires, take profit, then rotate into a follow-on.   |

**Surprise me!** picks a template at random, useful when you want to explore an unfamiliar pattern.

## Review before you run

A template's markets, thresholds, and allocations reflect its author's idea, not necessarily yours. Before you run a strategy built from a template:

* Replace or confirm every market, named outcome, and `YES` or `NO` side.
* Check every threshold and time window against what you actually intend.
* Confirm every allocation, especially in barbell and ladder templates that split funds across steps.

Use the [live-run checklist](/strategy-builder/validation) for the complete review before **Run Live**.

## Simulate first

Miramarket currently supports Polymarket. Use **Simulate** before **Run Live** on any template-built strategy, including the quick picks that fill markets for you. Execution and fills are not guaranteed.
