The analyst asks the agent for historical OHLCV data and then requests VWAP calculations. The MCP uses get_ohlcv and get_vwap, giving the full time-series context needed to confirm if their model holds up across different market cycles. ### A trader needs to check cross-exchange liquidity for a new altcoin. The agent first uses list_markets to see all available exchanges. The user then asks for get_market details on the top three, determining which platforms offer the deepest and most reliable trading pairs. ### A researcher is building a report on market coverage. The researcher starts by calling list_assets to gather all identifiers. Then they use get_asset for key coins and check get_gwa data to provide the most current, authoritative price point in their final summary. ### A portfolio manager needs a quick status update on multiple holdings. They ask the agent for get_ticker data for five different assets. The MCP retrieves all five latest Global Weighted Average prices in one response, allowing them to immediately compare performance. ## Benefits - Get instant price checks: Instead of opening a dozen tabs, ask for the latest Global Weighted Average price using get_ticker and see it immediately. - Backtest strategies easily: Run historical simulations by calling get_ohlcv.

This is your go-to tool when you just need the current market value of an asset. **Can I run backtests with get_ohlcv?** Yes, absolutely. get_ohlcv retrieves structured Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume data for specific time ranges, making it perfect for running technical analysis on past performance. **What is the difference between list_assets and getting asset details?** list_assets gives you a raw inventory—it just tells you what coins are supported. get_asset takes one of those IDs and provides deep, specific context about that single coin. **I need VWAP data; should I use get_vwap?** Yes, using get_vwap is the right call. It calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price, which is a much more accurate metric than just looking at simple daily averages. **How do I check what assets are available for trade?** You should use list_markets first to see all exchanges that support an asset. Then you can get_asset or get_market to drill down on the details of those specific listings. **When I use get_gwa, what data components make up the Global Weighted Average?** The GWA calculation breaks down its inputs. It shows you how volume and price individually weight the final metric. This gives context beyond just the final number. **Does get_market show all trading pairs, or only the primary ones?** It lists specific, active trading pairs for that market. You won't see every possible pair; it focuses on where assets are currently traded and monitored. **If I run list_assets, how do I pass those results to get_asset?** You must use the unique identifier returned by `list_assets`. This ID acts as a parameter for `get_asset`, allowing you to pull specific details on any supported asset. **How do I get the current price of Bitcoin?** Simply ask the agent to `get_ticker` and provide the coin symbol 'BTC'. It will retrieve the latest Global Weighted Average (GWA) price. **Can I retrieve historical price data for backtesting?** Yes! Use the `get_ohlcv` tool with the specific Market ID or Index ID. Your agent will fetch the Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume data series. **What does GWA mean?** GWA stands for Global Weighted Average. It's a calculated price point by Brave New Coin that aggregates pricing data across multiple reliable exchanges to provide a true market value.
