AlphaTerminal is built for traders who want an edge without spending hours wiring up six separate tools. In five minutes you can go from a fresh account to a working terminal with live prices, an AI signal feed, and a paper-trading wallet funded with $10,000 of virtual capital.
Step 1 — Create your account
Head to /signup and register with your email. No credit card required. The free tier gives you live prices, 3 AI analyses per day, and the prediction-market signal preview.
Step 2 — Open the terminal
The terminal lives at /terminal. The chart panel loads with BTC/USDT by default; click any pair in the sidebar to swap it in. Timeframe toggles run along the top of the chart (1m through 1w).
Step 3 — Pin the assets you care about
Hit the star icon on any asset to add it to your watchlist. The watchlist syncs across devices and survives logout via your account, so your workspace is portable.
Step 4 — Fire your first AI signal
The Signals panel reads order-book depth, on-chain whale flows, funding-rate shifts, and technicals every few minutes. Each signal carries a direction (long/short) and a confidence score from 0–100. Tap the paper-airplane icon to instantly paper-trade the signal at the watched size.
What's next
Connect an exchange API key under Connect an Exchange when you're ready to graduate from paper mode to live trading. The Run Your First AI Signal guide dives deeper into the signal engine.
