Start with the core: the Magnificent 7, Crypto Majors, and ARK strategies

Faced with a marketplace of strategies, most newcomers freeze on the first click. Do you jump straight into a narrow biotech thesis, a single macro signal, a leveraged niche? Usually not. The easier first step is to point Soar at the parts of the market you already recognize — the household-name mega-caps, the biggest crypto assets, the innovation names everyone reads about. That's exactly what Soar's three core strategies are built for: Magnificent 7, Crypto Majors, and ARK / Cathie Wood.

These aren't clever edge cases. They're broad, liquid, well-covered corners of the market — a sensible place to get comfortable with how the Soar engine reads a chart, forms a view, and lays out entry, targets, and a stop. Think of them as your on-ramp. Below is what each one covers and when someone might keep an eye on it.

Magnificent 7 — the mega-cap tech leaders

The Magnificent 7 lens tracks the small cluster of mega-cap technology companies that carry an outsized share of the broad market's attention and weight. These are the names that move index headlines, that show up in nearly every earnings-season conversation, and that a lot of people already hold in some form.

Because they're so heavily traded and so widely followed, they tend to be a natural starting lens. You already have intuition about these businesses, so the engine's read is easier to interpret and sanity-check against your own sense of the tape. Someone might watch this lens when they want to stay close to the leadership names driving the overall market rather than hunting in the corners.

Crypto Majors — the largest, most-liquid coins

The Crypto Majors lens focuses on the largest and most-liquid crypto assets — the top of the market by size and trading depth, rather than the long tail of thinly-traded tokens. Deep liquidity means tighter, cleaner price action, which is generally friendlier for a first look at how the engine handles digital assets.

Crypto also trades around the clock, so this lens is a way to stay engaged with a market that never really closes. It's a reasonable starting point for anyone who wants exposure to the crypto side of Soar without wading into obscure, low-volume names on day one.

ARK / Cathie Wood — the innovation universe

The ARK / Cathie Wood lens is a commentary view built around the innovation universe associated with ARK's publicly disclosed fund holdings — the disruptive-growth theme that Cathie Wood is widely known for. It's aggregated from public ARK fund disclosures. Soar is not affiliated with ARK Invest or Cathie Wood; this is an independent lens on a well-known public thesis.

Where the Magnificent 7 leans toward established leaders, this lens leans toward higher-growth, higher-volatility innovation names. Someone might watch it when they want a read on that disruptive-tech basket as a whole rather than picking individual names from it. It rounds out the trio nicely — leaders, crypto, and innovation, side by side.

Start where you already have intuition. The core lenses cover names you recognize, so the engine's read is easy to follow while you learn how Soar works.

Why start with the core

The value of these three lenses isn't that they're special — it's that they're familiar and broad. When you're learning a new tool, the last thing you want is to also be learning an unfamiliar asset at the same time. The core strategies let you separate those two problems:

• Recognizable names. You already have a mental model for these assets, so you can focus on reading the engine's setup — entry zone, targets, stop, and thesis — instead of researching the underlying from scratch.

• Deep liquidity. Big, actively-traded assets tend to produce cleaner charts, which makes the engine's read easier to follow.

• Broad coverage. Three lenses across mega-cap equities, crypto, and innovation give you a wide field of view before you ever add a narrower, more specialized strategy.

• Easy to sanity-check. Because these names are everywhere, you can cross-reference what you're seeing against the wider market conversation.

None of this is a recommendation to trade any particular asset — it's simply a description of what each lens covers and why it's a comfortable place to begin. What the engine produces is analysis and commentary, not a directive.

Your keys, your control

Whether you're just watching these lenses or eventually connecting a broker to act on them, one thing holds across the board: Soar is trade-only. When you self-host, your broker API keys live only on your own infrastructure and never touch Soar's servers. With Soar-managed hosting, keys are stored encrypted, scoped to trade-only, and only with your consent. Either way, Soar can never withdraw or move your funds — access is limited to placing trades you've set up, nothing more.

Where to go next

The simplest path in is to open the Magnificent 7, Crypto Majors, and ARK / Cathie Wood strategy pages, add one to your dashboard, and just watch how the engine frames a few setups over a session or two. When you want a running feel for the market, the daily brief is a good companion, and the help center walks through the basics. Once the core feels natural, the rest of the marketplace over on the blog and in the app opens up — narrower theses, specific catalysts, and more. Start with the core, get your bearings, then explore.
