Quick Start

Everything you need to go from account creation to reviewing your first analytical reading — account setup, Telegram connection, trial activation, and first-tool selection covered step by step. You can connect Telegram for platform notifications, activate an eligible 24-hour Elite trial, and identify a starting tool based on your learning goals.

What this page covers

• Create your account and complete the onboarding profile
• Connect Telegram to receive platform notifications
• Activate an eligible 24-hour Elite trial to explore included features
• Find the right starting tool based on your experience level

Step 1 — Create Your Account

Visit Hanzo AI and click Sign In. Authentication is handled via Replit — you can sign in with your Google account, GitHub, or Replit credentials. Your Hanzo AI account is created automatically on first login.

On free accounts, you receive:

• Access to the Dashboard, basic signal feed, and platform navigation
• Welcome credits — eligibility and applicable use are shown in your account
• One eligible 24-hour Elite trial activation (available from your Profile page)
• Leaderboard, missions, and XP system access

Step 2 — Complete Your Onboarding Profile

The first time you log in, Hanzo AI shows an onboarding modal. This is not a formality — the answers directly configure your AI Coach and Trading Brain profiles. Take 3–4 minutes to fill it in carefully.

1. Experience level

   Select: Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced / Professional. This adjusts the complexity of AI Coach explanations and the baseline expectations for your trade quality grades.

2. Trading style

   Choose your primary approach: Scalping (< 15m), Day Trading, Swing Trading, or Position Trading. This configures which kill zone windows and timeframes the system prioritizes for you.

3. Pairs of interest

   Select the currency pairs and assets you trade most. These become your default watchlist in the Intelligence Feed, Alert Intel, and Market Intelligence Engine.

4. Primary goal

   Select: Pass a prop firm challenge / Grow a personal account / Learn market structure / Improve trading psychology. This focuses your mission assignments.

Step 3 — Connect Telegram

Telegram integration can deliver platform notifications when you are away from Hanzo AI. Kill zone openings, intelligence-feed readings, volume anomalies, and liquidity sweeps may be sent according to source and service timing.

1. Open your Profile

   Navigate to the profile menu in the top-right corner of any page.

2. Find the Telegram section

   Scroll to 'Notifications & Integrations' → 'Connect Telegram'.

3. Copy your link code

   A unique 6-digit code is generated for your account. This code expires in 10 minutes.

4. Start the bot

   Open Telegram, search for the Hanzo AI bot (@HanzoTradingBot), and send your 6-digit code as your first message.

5. Confirm connection

   You'll receive a confirmation message from the bot within 30 seconds. Your account is now linked.

Step 4 — Choose Your First Tool

Don't try to use everything on day one. Based on your primary goal, here's where to start:

Credits — Review Current Eligibility

Credits, when available, can provide access to eligible usage-based features. Review your account balance and the confirmation screen before spending credits; availability and rates may change.

Activating Your 24-Hour Elite Trial

The eligible Elite trial provides access to the included Elite-tier features for 24 hours. The subscription screen shows the current feature list before activation.

Making the Most of Your 24-Hour Trial

A structured trial plan can help you evaluate features before deciding whether to subscribe:

1. Hour 1 — Kill Zone Panel setup

   Add your 3–5 most-traded pairs to your watchlist. Enable the Kill Zone countdown widget. Connect Telegram (Profile → Telegram) to receive the next kill zone opening alert. Set a 15-minute pre-alert for the London-NY open.

2. Hours 2–12 — First study session

   Review (or simulate in Phantom Desk) the London-NY session using the Intelligence Feed as an educational source. Open Market Intelligence and compare the Confluence Map with independent chart context.

3. Hours 12–18 — Review a study question

   Review a question using tools available to your account. Compare the explanation with the supplied evidence and record recurring assumptions or uncertainties.

4. Hours 18–22 — Review notification options

   If notification tools are included for your account, review their source, timing and configuration. Do not assume that an alert will arrive or that it is a recommendation.

5. Final hours — Review

   Review the platform readings you explored and compare their usefulness for your study workflow. Subscription suitability depends on your needs; no output guarantees a result.
