# Start here

A quick, fun tour of Bot Studio docs.

## Welcome

You’re in the Bot Studio docs. Build strategies like LEGO. Then backtest like a scientist.

### The 10-minute speedrun

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Build a tiny strategy

Open [Strategy Builder](/bot-studio/strategy-builder.md). Create: **Market Data → RSI → Compare → Buy Order**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Make it trade less dumb

Add a second compare for exits. Wire: **RSI → Compare (RSI > 70) → Sell Order**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Backtest it

Run a quick backtest. Start with a short range like `30d`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Iterate without getting lost

If a node is confusing, jump to [Node reference](/bot-studio/node-reference.md). If results look suspicious, read [Best practices](/bot-studio/best-practices.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Need the long version?

Use the full reference when you want every detail. It’s exhaustive by design.

If you’re stuck, paste your graph screenshot and error message in [Community & help](/support/community-and-help.md). You’ll get better answers faster.
