Getting started

1. Create an account

Sign up with an e-mail address or Google. The trial starts at once: 14 days, every feature, no card.

2. Connect the demo exchange

Open the terminal and go to Connect. Choose the demo exchange, pick spot or margin and a starting balance. It fills orders instantly with a 0.1% taker fee and behaves like a real account for every rule.

3. Look at your starter rules

Go to Rules. Five rules are already there, in warn mode: position size 10% of equity, gross exposure 150%, daily loss 2% with a 120-minute cooldown, re-entry lock 30 minutes, order sanity $25,000 or 5% away from the market. Each one is a sentence. Click a number to change it.

4. Place an order that passes

In Terminal, type a symbol, choose buy, enter a quantity. As you type, the rule check on the right runs every rule on the order you are about to place. Place it. The guard bar says "Placed" and the position appears.

5. Place one that fails

Enter a quantity that would take one symbol above 10% of your equity. The rule check turns amber on max position size and tells you the exact percentage. In warn mode the order still goes through, with a warning recorded. Flip the rule to block mode and try again: it does not go.

6. Connect a real exchange when you are ready

Kraken, Coinbase and Binance each connect directly with your own API keys; on Binance, its testnet first is a good idea. Live trading needs one more switch in Settings, after you acknowledge the risk disclosure.
