Guide · Getting started

Your first session

From a blank account to your first graded rep in about ten minutes. The app walks you through this same spine with the Next actiontile on the Trading Desk, this page is the map of where it's taking you.

The five steps

Sketch your system, in your own words
Onboarding asks you to describe how you trade the way you'd tell a trading buddy: the pattern you look for, what has to be true, what invalidates it. A paragraph is plenty. The AI turns your sketch into an editable spec, and it becomes play #1 in your playbook. You can refine it on The System any time, it's meant to grow.
Bring your trades
Open Settings → Data & Integrations to import a CSV or connect your platform. Tradovate, TopstepX and other ProjectX firms, and Interactive Brokers connect directly; everything else comes in clean via CSV. Full walkthrough: Connect your data.
Review your first trade
Open your most recent trade on The Tape. It loads on the chart where it happened, mark what you saw, tag the setup, write the honest sentence about how it went, and save. That's your first rep: +40 XP, win or lose.
Let the loop take over
From here the Desk always shows your next action. Reviews teach your System; your System powers The Terminal on your next live session. Show up, do the rep, watch the rank climb.

What to do in week one

  • Review one trade a day. Five honest reviews teach your dossiers more than fifty hasty ones. (Review XP caps daily for exactly this reason.)
  • Plan before the open.Write the pre-market plan in your Journal, then grade the session after the close. You're building a record of when your read of the day is worth leaning on.
  • Run a drill rep when the market's closed.The Tape's drill replays old sessions with the outcome hidden, reps without risk.
  • Confirm what the System proposes. As it learns from your reviews it will propose vocabulary and lessons, nothing goes live in your methodology without your confirmation.
