Sharing a page, and where the setup guides live

Every page here has a public address, and the reader needs no account.

Everything in this handbook is also published outside the login, at tradeus.app/docs/<page>. It is not a copy that somebody keeps in step: both addresses render the same page from the same file, so a link you send to a trading partner, a prop firm or a support thread shows exactly what you are reading, to somebody who has never signed in.

This page, both ways
Signed in
/guide?p=sharing-this-handbook
Public
/docs/sharing-this-handbook

That is the whole rule, and it holds for every page: take the part after ?p= and put it after /docs/. The chapter list at the public handbook has all of them if you would rather find the page than build the address.

Links inside a shared page keep working
Where a handbook page links to another handbook page, the public copy points at the public one. Links to actual screens — your strategies, your billing — are left pointing at the app, so those do end at a sign-in. That is honest rather than sloppy: the screen genuinely needs your account.

Setting something up for the first time

This handbook explains the product one screen at a time, which is the right shape once you know what you are looking for and the wrong shape on day one. The step-by-step guides at Automate take a single task from nothing to a filled order instead: one for each broker you can connect, one for the alert format itself, one for copying between accounts, and one for the whole path from a Pine strategy to live orders. They are public too.

  • Each one states what has to be true before step 1 — including what it costs and what you cannot get around.
  • Each one ends with what actually goes wrong, named after the message you will see rather than after the cause.
  • Each carries the date it was last held against the real product, and the sources for every outside figure it quotes.
Neither place tells you what your prop firm allows
Some of those guides are written around a particular firm's accounts, because that is what people search for. None of them says whether that firm permits automated trading, a copier, or a hosted service — that is in your own agreement, it differs between account types, and it is the one question where being told something reassuring by us would cost you the account.
