Quick start: your first 15 minutes

Fifteen minutes is enough to get a fully working journal. Follow this list in order:

The checklist

1. Name your account. Click the account block at the top of the sidebar → ✎ → give it a name, type (personal / prop firm / demo), starting deposit, base currency and your timezone. Details in Multiple trading accounts.
2. Connect MetaTrader 5. Trades → Auto-Sync MT5 → follow the wizard (guide). If you don’t use MT5, import a CSV or add trades manually instead.
3. Check the classification. Axel automatically labels each trade TP, BE or SL from your average lot size and your thresholds. If your risk profile is unusual, adjust it: profile menu → Settings → Accounts. See how classification works.
4. Take today’s psych check-in. Psychology → Today’s test. Nine questions, two minutes.
5. Make it yours. Bottom-right ⊹ button → pick your accent color, widget style (Flat / Glass / Liquid / Neon), theme and font.

You’re set

From now on your only routine is: trade → review → check in. Everything else (stats, streaks, achievements, reports) updates by itself.
