Getting started

From zero to your first trade, in four steps

This guide covers your full first week on Renevex: opening the account, connecting the exchange by API, tuning the analysis and reading the dashboard with confidence. Each step explains the why alongside the how, because instructions without reasons become blind clicking.

1. Step 1: create your account

Fill in the form with your name, email and phone, and choose a long password that lives nowhere else. Dashboard access arrives within minutes. Your first act inside the account: switch on two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, which asks for a code from your device at every new login.

  • One long, unique password; a password manager if you use one.
  • 2FA by authenticator app, avoiding SMS where possible.
  • A registration email with its own strong password: it is the recovery key.

On passwords, one pattern that works: a long phrase with a number and a symbol, like the first letters of a verse only you would pick. Long beats complicated for memorability, and a password manager handles the rest for the price of a coffee a month. Any authenticator app does the job, from Google Authenticator to Aegis, and more than one device can be registered as backup; SMS as the only factor is the weak option, but if it is the only one available,

One more account-hygiene habit worth forming in week one: note down where your recovery information lives, the backup codes, the registration email and the password vault master. Three facts, stored together somewhere safe, guarantee a way back into the account in any scenario from a lost phone to a deactivated email address.

enable it anyway, because a weak factor still beats none.

2. Step 2: connect the exchange via API

Automated trading talks to the exchange through an API key, without moving your funds elsewhere. In your exchange account, create the key with read and trade permissions, restrict it by IP where the platform indicates, and register it on the Renevex dashboard. The withdrawal permission stays off: trading never needs it, and it is the one scope that must never be opened.

Connection errors arrive with their cause: "insufficient permission" means the key was born without the trade scope, and "IP not authorised" means the restriction was skipped. Both are fixed by regenerating the key with attention to the permissions screen, in under two minutes. Your manager sits with you through this screen the first time. Make key hygiene routine: name keys descriptively ("renevex engine"), test, date them, and revoke anything unused past ninety

A pattern for the first month of API management: create the key, name it, test it, and then leave it alone. The instinct to recreate keys weekly feels diligent and achieves nothing except breaking running strategies; the review cadence that matters is monthly, and it is a read-and-confirm exercise, not a rebuild.

days, the panel shows each key's age so the monthly review takes seconds.

3. Step 3: set up analysis and monitoring

Choose the assets and pairs the engine watches, such as BTC, ETH and SOL in crypto and the major currency pairs. Then the limits: which price variation earns an alert, how often, and how much risk each strategy may take. All of it is saved in the analysis panel and changeable at any time.

An alert is not a recommendation: it is notice that a rule you set has fired. A sensible opening configuration keeps execution alerts on, so you know what your strategies did, and price alerts off, since prices move all day. As a gauge: you should be able to read everything that arrived in five minutes a day; more than that, switch a category off, less, and you are flying blind on execution.

4. Step 4: dashboard and management

The dashboard shows the essentials at a glance: account state, active strategies, recent trades and balance progression. From there you pause or reactivate strategies, adjust parameters and review the engine's complete history. A weekly report with the same content, organised, lands in your inbox.

Enough routine: one look per day at a fixed time and the Sunday read of the report. The fixed time builds your own baseline, and deviations catch the eye immediately. One reading habit accelerates the curve: open the weekly report and the dashboard side by side and check item by item; within three weeks the dashboard vocabulary becomes automatic reading, and your supervision gains real speed. If a step jams completely, do not force it: write to support

And a closing word on pace: speed here comes from consistency, not motion. Accounts that start slowly, review every Sunday and scale with criteria reach their third month with real command of the platform; accounts that start at full speed reach month three re-registering and losing their learning history.

with a screenshot and the exact time.

5. Important notes

Nothing in this guide guarantees profit: automated trading works in markets with real risk of loss, up to the total of the allocated capital. The platform provides analysis and execution; how much to invest and which strategies to run are your decisions, and the outcome belongs to the market.

Start small and watch two complete weeks before scaling. An objective test for adding capital: only increase when you can explain, in one sentence, what each active strategy does and why it is there. If the sentence will not come, the increase is a punt, and punting with more than test capital is not the path.
