Quick start

Each step is a page of its own further in. This is the sequence — doing them out of order mostly works, but the last step silently does nothing without the first.

1. 1
   Connect a broker

   Broker setup, then Add connection. If the login comes from a prop firm, pick the firm under Prop firm first and then the platform it gave you, so Broker setup files the connection under that firm — step by step in Connect a prop firm account. If you have never done this before, use a paper or evaluation login from your firm rather than a funded one — the rest of Tradeus behaves identically on it.
2. 2
   Check the accounts arrived

   Your accounts appear under the connection by themselves. If none do, nothing downstream can work. Give each one a nickname with the pencil beside it, so six evaluations stop reading as six account numbers — see Accounts and what their status means.
3. 3
   Create a strategy

   You get a webhook URL and a passphrase. The passphrase is shown once — inside the ready-made alert message, and on its own with a Copy button for bots that ask for it separately.
4. 4
   Point an alert at it

   Paste the URL and the ready-made message into a TradingView alert.
5. 5
   Subscribe an account to the strategy

   Until an account follows the strategy, signals are recorded and nothing trades. This is the step people miss.
6. 6
   Set the size

   Fixed contracts, the signal's own quantity, or a risk amount per trade.
7. 7
   Arm a lock

   A daily loss limit is the cheapest insurance in the product.
