    Really impressive use case. I’ve been integrating the same Strategy Expert Prompt and found it drastically improves clarity when chaining multiple strategies. What blew me away was how quickly it aligned execution logic like ShareBetPosition and StrategyNames into a working config. Massive time-saver and helps bridge the gap between concept and automation. 🔄 Curious—has anyone tested this with dynamic triggers (e.g., price movement or volume thresholds) layered into the sequence?
