Questions
Does Nyria have a strategy marketplace like Surmount?
No. Nyria executes the alerts you send it. Surmount has a strategy marketplace. If you want to pick a strategy from a library rather than send your own alerts, Surmount is the better fit.
How does pricing by total entry allocation work?
Your total entry allocation is the budget per entry across all bots on your live broker accounts. It's what your live bots could put in at once if they all entered together. Two live bots at $4,000 and $6,000 per entry make $10,000, which is the $100 tier. At $6,000 each they make $12,000, which moves you to the $20,000 tier at $200 a month. Bots on a creator's Premium strategy count toward that strategy's tier instead. $20,000 of it is $200 a month, or $2,000 a year. Nothing is charged per bot or per broker.
Does Surmount support TradingView alerts?
Surmount's site does not list TradingView as an alert source. Nyria reads a TradingView webhook alert and places the order immediately.
Can I sell access to my strategy on Nyria?
Yes. Set the strategy to Premium, then sell it through Nyria's checkout or map your own Whop or Stripe products to tiers. Members trade it automatically in their own brokerage accounts.
