# Quickstart

> Signup to your first analysis in about ten minutes.

Six steps. The first four take a minute each and link out to the detail; the last two are where you get something back.

<Note>
  **Use a desktop or laptop.** The canvas, charts, and automation builder need the screen space, so Tradion blocks phone-sized windows. A tablet in landscape works.
</Note>

## 1. Create your account

Go to [app.tradionlabs.com](https://app.tradionlabs.com) and pick **Continue with Google** or type your email for a magic link — a one-time sign-in link that arrives in your inbox, so there's no password to invent.

Both routes land on the same account. → [Creating your account](/get-started/creating-your-account)

## 2. Answer five questions

Name, how you trade, what you want to improve, what's costing you money, and a plan. Thirty seconds.

Steps 3 and 4 do the real work: they give Tradion something to go on before you have any trade history for it to read. → [Onboarding](/get-started/onboarding)

## 3. Pick a plan

Starter ($25) is every analysis tool, unlimited, and you do the watching. Trader ($100) adds automations and the quant research terminal, so Tradion watches while you're away. Quant (\$200) is Trader with roughly ten times the monthly allowances.

Starter and Trader include a 7-day trial; Quant doesn't. → [Choosing a plan](/get-started/choosing-a-plan)

## 4. Connect a brokerage

Optional, but about half of what makes Tradion useful depends on knowing what you hold: the portfolio dashboard, the AI Asset Manager, and automatic trade import.

The connection is **read-only** — Tradion can see your positions and cannot place an order. You log in on your broker's own site, so your broker password never touches Tradion. → [Connecting a brokerage](/portfolio/connect-brokerage)

## 5. Run your first analysis

Pick whichever matches what you have in front of you.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I have a question about the market" icon="terminal">
    Open **AI Quant Research** and type it the way you'd say it out loud — *"has NVDA or AMD moved around more over the last six months?"* Tradion writes and runs the Python against live prices and gives you charts plus a written answer. You don't need to read the code, though it's there if you want to.

    Trader plan and up. → [Your first analysis](/research/your-first-analysis)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I have a chart image saved" icon="image">
    Open **Chart Analyzer** and drop it in. You get a BUY / SELL / HOLD / NO TRADE call with an entry price, a stop, a target, and a breakdown of which factors drove the score.

    → [Chart Analyzer](/research/chart-analyzer)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I want to look at a chart right now" icon="crosshairs">
    Open **Lens**. It shows a live chart inside Tradion — set the symbol and timeframe, then hit **Capture**. You get a directional read, price targets, and support and resistance levels, and you can ask follow-up questions.

    Lens reads its own chart, not your other tabs. → [Lens](/research/lens)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I have an earnings report" icon="file-lines">
    Open **Earnings Spider**. Upload a PDF, or name a ticker and quarter and let Tradion fetch the transcript itself. You get beat-or-miss against expectations, next-quarter guidance, management tone, and the case for and against.

    → [Earnings Spider](/research/earnings-spider)
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## 6. Log one trade

This is the one that unlocks everything downstream, and it's the one people skip.

Open **Trade Autopsy → Trade Log → New trade** and choose **Narrative**. Describe a recent trade the way you'd tell a friend — *"bought 100 NVDA around 178, sold at 172 an hour later because it kept dropping"* — and Tradion pulls out the structured fields itself.

Then run an autopsy on it. You get a root-cause read, a 0–100 score across entry quality, exit discipline, and risk management, and a counterfactual: the same trade replayed with one thing changed, so you can see what your own rules would have returned.

  Two autopsies unlock the Psychological Profile on your Profile page. Ten is roughly where the pattern detection stops being generic and starts being about you.
