Getting Started · Lesson 1 of 1Beginner
Your first 10 minutes in Formion
5 min
Formion packs a lot into one terminal. This lesson points you at the five things that matter on day one, so you're productive in ten minutes instead of an afternoon.
The five surfaces you'll actually use
- The Screener — a ranked list of setups across crypto, gold, forex and equities. This is your idea-generation engine. Start here every session.
- The Chart — full TradingView-grade charting with our own indicators layered on top.
- Signals — algorithmic events (breakouts, momentum, pattern completions) streamed per symbol.
- Trade-History — every strategy's tracked trades with win-rate, profit factor and equity curve. This is where you decide which strategies to trust.
- The AI advisor — ask it about anything on your screen in plain language.
You don't have to connect an exchange to explore. Everything above works in read-only mode first — connect an account later, only when you want to track or trade your own positions.
What to do right now
- Open the Screener and sort by score. Click the top symbol.
- On the chart, notice the logo next to every ticker — that's how Formion keeps you oriented across hundreds of assets.
- Open Trade-History and pick one strategy. Look at its profit factor and max drawdown, not just the green number. We'll cover how to read those in the Strategies track.
Where to go next
If you want Formion to track your trades, continue to the next lesson on connecting an exchange or wallet (read-only). If you'd rather learn to read the screener first, jump to the Trading Foundations track — both are fine starting points.
