Ask a question the data can answer
For BTC or ETH, start with: how wide is the spread, how much returned depth is near the midpoint, and which side pays the current funding rate? A large displayed depth is not a guaranteed fill, and a funding observation is not a forecast.
Read the evidence before the conclusion
Inspect source timestamps, expiry, market identity and unavailable fields alongside the explanation. A missing oracle event timestamp stays unknown. A historical snapshot is useful for review but cannot be treated as a current opportunity.
Move from explanation to a bounded task
Where the service is enabled, verify your email, choose BTC or ETH and review the maximum analysis cost before running. Save a monitoring task or explore a simulation after reviewing the result. A completed analysis is not authorization for a real order.
Start small, keep your budget visible
When a trial campaign is active, eligible verified accounts can claim up to $0.50 in service allowance for at most three analysis admissions, expiring within seven days. The workspace shows the actual offer and cost cap before use. Add $10 or $20 of Credits only through an enabled checkout; applicable tax is shown there. Credits cover CatalystDesk analysis and model use, not wallet funding or trading capital. After reviewing a simulation, a separately enabled Testnet flow may let you review and sign each exact order in your wallet; this is not live-market access.

Start with the service you can verify
The private workspace, when enabled, shows the current service status, per-analysis cost limit and your available allowance before you submit a task. Email verification is required. No ChatGPT or Claude account, model API key, wallet deposit or coding is needed for the hosted analysis flow. This guide does not activate the service or promise a free allowance. Real trading is not available in this flow.
