Built something you want to show a friend — or saw a setup you'd like to try? Freya lets you share a configuration by link, for free. This is different from selling on the marketplace. Here's how it works.
Key Takeaways
- You can share a bot configuration or a backtest by link — no money involved, unlike the marketplace.
- A share includes settings only: your API keys, funds, and webhook URLs are never included.
- Anyone who opens a shared bot loads the settings into their own Create Bot screen and must connect their own exchange — nothing trades automatically.
- Cloning a backtest into your own account with one click is a Pro feature; sharing a backtest result is available on Plus and Pro.
- Sharing is free and link-based; selling strategies (with pricing and Black Box protection) is the marketplace — a separate thing.
Two Things You Can Share
- A bot configuration — your bot's full setup (pair, direction, orders, exits, etc.), as a link.
- A backtest — the result of a backtest (its performance stats), as a link others can view.
Each produces a link you can send to anyone.
What's in a Share (and What Isn't)
A share carries settings only. It explicitly does not include:
- your API keys,
- your funds or balances,
- your webhook URLs (for signal bots).
Sending someone your strategy doesn't expose your exchange or your money. They get the configuration; they connect their own exchange to run it. Likewise, when you open someone else's share, you supply your own API key.
Sharing a Bot Configuration
From a bot, create a share link and send it. When the recipient opens it (they'll need to be logged in), Freya loads the settings into their Create Bot screen, ready to review — the bot's name is prefixed so they know it's shared. Nothing trades automatically: they pick their own exchange and API key, review the settings, and create the bot themselves. Sharing and opening a bot config this way isn't limited by plan.
Sharing a Backtest
You can also share a backtest result as a public link — handy for showing how a strategy performed, with its stats. Creating a backtest share link is a Plus and Pro feature. (A shared backtest is a snapshot of past performance — remember it's not a promise of live results; see Why Your Backtest and Live Results Don't Match.)
Cloning a Backtest (Pro)
Cloning takes a shared backtest's strategy and recreates it as a new backtest in your account with one click — a fast way to build on someone's setup. Cloning is a Pro feature (it isn't available on Free or Plus), and it uses your Pro backtest allowance. Where a share includes a clonable strategy, Pro members will see the option to clone it.
Sharing vs. the Marketplace
These are two different things:
| Share / Clone | Marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free, by link | Paid — creators sell strategies |
| What changes hands | A configuration (you run it with your own keys) | A purchase; the creator earns revenue |
| Privacy of settings | The config is visible to whoever has the link | Listings can be Black Box (settings hidden) |
If you want to sell a strategy and protect its configuration, that's the marketplace, not a share link.
A Privacy Note
A share link is unique, but anyone who has it can open the shared config (and a shared backtest can be viewed by anyone with the link). There's no hidden/Black-Box option for shares — if a configuration is something you'd rather keep private, don't share it by link (or sell it as a Black Box listing on the marketplace instead).
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my API keys or funds shared when I share a bot or backtest?
No. A share contains settings only — never your API keys, your funds, or your webhook URLs. Whoever opens it runs the strategy with their own exchange connection.
Who can clone a shared backtest?
Cloning is a Pro feature — it's not available on Free or Plus. Pro members can clone a shared backtest's strategy into their own account with one click, using their Pro backtest allowance.
Can Free users share?
Free users can share a bot configuration and can open any share link. Creating a backtest share link is a Plus/Pro feature.
What's the difference between sharing a strategy and selling it on the marketplace?
Sharing is free and link-based — you hand over a configuration that the recipient runs with their own keys. The marketplace is a paid storefront where creators sell strategies (with pricing and optional Black Box protection) and earn revenue. Different tools for different goals.
Can someone see my strategy's exact settings from a share link?
Yes — shares show the configuration to anyone with the link; there's no Black-Box hiding for shares. If you want to keep the recipe private, don't share it by link; sell it as a Black Box listing on the marketplace instead.
When I open someone's shared bot, does it start trading?
No. It loads the settings into your Create Bot screen for you to review. You choose your own exchange and API key and create the bot yourself — nothing trades until you do.
