Profile & AI settings
Your Profile is where you manage how you appear to others, your broker connections, and how the AI engine behaves. This page focuses on profile basics and the AI settings; broker connections are covered in Connect a broker.
Your profile
You control three fields, all editable from Profile -> Edit profile:
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Display name | Shown on your public profile and Marketplace listings |
| Bio | A short blurb (optional) shown on your public profile |
| Avatar | Upload an image; Stretus generates a signed upload so the file goes straight to storage |
Your public creator profile
Other users can view a public version of your profile at /profile/{your-id} - the same
page anyone reaches by clicking your name on a Marketplace listing. It shows:
- Your name, avatar, bio and the date you joined
- Aggregate creator stats: strategies published, total subscribers, overall rating and number of reviews, and how many strategies you subscribe to
- A Created tab (strategies you've published) and a Subscribed tab
It never exposes your account balance, individual trades, or private (unpublished) strategies. Only you can edit your own profile.
AI settings
The strategy builder runs on AI models. By default Stretus provides the models - but you can tune which model is used and, if you prefer, bring your own key.
Model & provider preferences
Choose your preferred AI provider and model from the ones enabled for your account. The builder uses your preference for new chats.
Bring your own key (BYOK)
You can add your own AI API key so the builder uses your provider account instead of Stretus's shared capacity.
| With BYOK | Without BYOK |
|---|---|
| Requests run on your provider key | Requests use Stretus's provided models |
| You may unlock additional models your key allows | Limited to the models Stretus enables |
| You manage that provider's usage and billing | No separate AI billing to manage |
Your AI keys, like broker credentials, are stored encrypted and used only to run your strategy-builder requests. Remove a key any time to revert to Stretus's provided models.
Appearance & language
Stretus follows your preference for theme and language, set from the sidebar:
- Theme - switch between dark (default) and light
- Language - the interface is available in several languages (English, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, Malay, Indonesian, Vietnamese)
These are display preferences only - they don't affect your strategies or trading.
