You’re in. Here’s your first 48 hours.
Welcome to the flagship. This walkthrough tells you exactly what happens from the moment you subscribe: what you do, what the engine does, what you’ll see in your account, and — just as important — what’s NORMAL versus what deserves a message to support. No surprises, no guesswork.
Quiet is not broken.
The engine trades when conditions qualify — not to look busy. Some hours it works constantly; some days it waits. Discipline you can watch is the product.
Confirm, fund, connect
Subscription confirmed
You’ll receive confirmation with your onboarding link. Your plan details and minimums live on the Nodes page — always the source of truth.
Fund YOUR trading account
Move USDC from your own Arbitrum wallet (the one you built in Academy Guide 3) into the trading account that belongs to you alone. Our money never mixes with yours because ours is never there.
Grant the agent key
The onboarding flow walks you through creating and authorizing the trade-only key click by click. Two minutes, one grant — and remember: you can revoke it any time, in seconds.
What the engine does first
Once the key is live, the engine reads your account size and the current market state, then begins placing its working orders when conditions qualify. What you may see: a ladder of small orders appearing in your account, early small fills, positions opening at modest size. What you may ALSO see: very little — if the market regime is hostile, the engine holds fire, and that restraint is the discipline you are paying for. An engine that trades every hour regardless of conditions is a fee machine, not a strategy.
What you’ll see in your account
Open orders
The engine’s working ladder, visible live in your own account. Nothing is hidden — you see every order it places, the moment it places it.
Fills & positions
Executions appear as they happen with exact prices and sizes. Your venue account is the permanent, unfakeable record.
Balance & P&L
Judge results from your OWN balance over real time-frames — that number is the only scoreboard that matters, and it’s one nobody can dress up.
The key itself
Your permissions page lists the agent grant. Knowing exactly where the kill switch lives is part of onboarding — go look at it once.
Normal vs. worth a message
NORMAL: quiet periods
Hours or even days of low activity in hostile regimes. The engine is selective by design — waiting IS a position.
NORMAL: small losses
Individual losing trades inside risk limits are part of every real strategy that has ever existed. Judge the season, not the inning.
MESSAGE US: total silence
No orders, no activity of any kind for 48+ hours across active market conditions — worth a ticket so we can check your grant together.
MESSAGE US: anything unrecognized
An order type or behavior you don’t understand? Ask. Explaining the engine’s behavior is part of the service, not a favor.
Three habits of members who do well
Don’t micro-watch
Checking every hour turns discipline into anxiety. The engine doesn’t need supervision; give it real time-frames.
Judge in weeks, not evenings
Any single day is noise. The strategy’s character shows over weeks of varied market conditions — that’s the honest evaluation window.
Know your kill switch
You hold total control. Members who’ve located the revoke button once never feel trapped — because they never are.
Automated trading carries market risk. The engine removes custody risk and emotional risk — the market keeps its own. Fund with capital you can put at risk, start at a size that lets you sleep, scale on evidence from your own account.
