Your first session

Go to /wiz and sign up. Start a 7-day trial with a card, then $40 a month. Or pay $348 a year up front, with no trial. Cancel any time. Without a plan you can look around, but you need a plan to act: follow a bot, set an alert, ask Wiz or place a Demo trade.

You can also start the other way round and build the bot first. The last step of the wizard makes the account and keeps everything you chose.

Open Accounts. You have one book and it starts with $10,000 in demo cash. Prices and market hours are real; the money is not. Everything you do from here books against it.

Open Bots and start one. The wizard asks five things: which market, which asset, how it should trade, what it should read, and then shows you the whole setup before anything runs.

When you confirm, it queues its first read and tells you when that happens. Keeping the settings it suggests is a perfectly good first bot.

Open the bot. It writes down what it saw, in words, on every read: what the market is doing, whether it found something, and if it did, where it would get in, where it would give up and where it would take the profit.

Wait is a normal answer. A bot that sees nothing worth trading says so rather than inventing a trade, and that is the bot working.

The other three places are Trade (the chart, your watchlist and every trade), Wiz chat (ask about any of it in plain words) and Settings (your plan, your notifications and who may connect).
