# Algorithms Overview

Hextrade provides a broad algorithm library across futures, commodities, and crypto instruments. This page helps you understand naming, categories, and how to choose what to test first.

## Naming format

Algorithms follow:

`[instrument]-[strategy]-[timeframe]`

Example: `nq-raptor-30m` means:

* Instrument: `NQ` (Nasdaq futures)
* Strategy family: `Raptor`
* Chart timeframe: `30m`

## How to connect any algorithm

1. Browse available algorithms at [dash.hextrade.io/algos](https://dash.hextrade.io/algos).
2. Open the algorithm detail page and review its performance metrics.
3. Navigate to **Connected Accounts** and link one of your [broker accounts](/automated-trading/trading-accounts).
4. Set an appropriate risk level before activating.

<Warning>
  Always review an algorithm's performance history and set risk carefully before going live. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
