# Strategy builder tutorial

> Follow a step-by-step walkthrough for your first Miramarket strategy.

This tutorial builds a simple strategy: buy a market outcome only if the market price reaches your rule.

## 1. Open the builder

Go to [app.miramarket.org](https://app.miramarket.org).

The left panel is where you choose building blocks. The canvas is where your strategy appears.

## 2. Find a market

Open the **Market** tab. Use **Trending**, a category filter, or search.

Choose a market you understand. Do not build around a market if you are unsure what it resolves to.

## 3. Choose `YES` or `NO`

Most market cards show `YES` and `NO` buttons.

Choose `YES` if you want the strategy to buy the "yes, this happens" side.

Choose `NO` if you want the strategy to buy the "no, this does not happen" side.

## 4. Add a price condition

Open the **Condition** tab and choose **Price Condition**.

Set a rule that matches your idea. A simple first rule is: price is greater than 50 cents.

## 5. Add the action

Click a market card to add the market action. The canvas should show a condition connected to an action.

The condition checks whether the strategy should act. The action shows what the strategy will try to do.

## 6. Review the strategy

Before running anything, check:

* Did you choose the right market?
* Did you choose the right `YES` or `NO` side?
* Does the condition match your intent?
* Does the amount or allocation look right?

## 7. Run a demo

Click **Run Demo**.

Demo mode is for learning and checking behavior. It does not place real trades.

## 8. Use live mode only when ready

Open the run menu if you want to switch between demo and live.

**Run Live** can use real funds. Connect a wallet only when you are ready to take that risk.

## 9. Start over

Use **New Strategy** to clear the canvas and build a fresh strategy.
