A trading app that puts research, your portfolio and execution in one place — with an AI that can see your account, so its answers are about your positions rather than the market in general. ## The problem it solves Trading normally means juggling a social feed, a charting site, a wallet, a bridge and an exchange. By the time you have assembled the picture, it has moved. Midas collapses that into one loop: **discover** what the market is reacting to through [The Wire](https://github.com/stsssol/stss/tree/main/docs/the-wire/README.md) and headlines, **understand** it through [analysis](https://github.com/stsssol/stss/tree/main/docs/analysis/README.md) and [Midas AI](https://github.com/stsssol/stss/tree/main/docs/midas-ai/README.md), then **act** on it without leaving for another app. ## What makes it different * **The AI can see your account.** "How is my SOL doing?" answers about your position. * **Chains stay out of your way.** Buy a Solana token with USDC on Base, in one confirmed action. * **Ideas are specific.** [First Take](https://github.com/stsssol/stss/tree/main/docs/first-take/README.md) gives a direction, entry, target, stop and reasoning — not "keep an eye on this". * **Spot and perps share one account.** No moving funds between platforms. ## What it is not Not a custodial exchange account, and not a bot that trades for you. It is a trading interface built on wallets you control, where you confirm every action. It does not promise profit and does not remove risk — leverage can liquidate you and tokens can go to zero.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.midasmarkets.xyz/getting-started/what-is-midas.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
