Tu primera visita: cuenta, inicio de sesión y navegación

Welcome to TraderLobby. This lesson will help you get into the right account, understand what you’re looking at, and find your way around. You don’t need to place a trade or connect an exchange to complete the learning checks. For now, the goal is to recognize the main parts of the app and know what each one controls.

Let’s start with a distinction that makes everything else easier. Your TraderLobby account and your exchange account have different jobs. Your TraderLobby account identifies you inside this app. It connects you with the features and account settings you’re allowed to use. An exchange account belongs to a service where you can hold assets and carry out supported trades. Signing in to TraderLobby does not, by itself, connect an exchange or give the app permission to trade there.

An exchange connection is the link between those two services. Later, you’ll learn how to create that link and check its permissions. Permissions are the actions a connection is allowed to perform. Reading a balance and placing an order are different actions. A connection should be understood by what it is allowed to do, not simply by whether its name appears on the screen.

Now add one more distinction: your access inside TraderLobby. A customer uses the app’s trading, account, and community features according to the access available to them. A Creator has access to additional tools for developing and managing strategies. A strategy is a set of rules used to guide trading decisions. Creator access is a different responsibility; it does not mean that someone’s results are guaranteed or that their strategy suits every user.

Your plan and account status can also affect which features are available. If a lesson shows a control you cannot see, first check whether it belongs to your role or requires additional access. You do not need to unlock every feature to follow the main learning route. We’ll identify the Creator branch separately when you reach it.

Finally, notice that account identity and trading mode answer different questions. Account identity tells you who is signed in. An exchange selection tells you which connection you are viewing. Paper or Live tells you the trading context. Paper is for simulated trading. Live can involve real assets when the required connection and permissions are in place. Choosing a different screen is not the same as choosing a different mode.

Here’s your first check. Can you explain the difference between signing in to TraderLobby and connecting an exchange? Signing in gives you access to your app account. Connecting an exchange links an outside account with specific permissions. Keep those ideas separate, and the next steps will be much easier to follow.

When you arrive at TraderLobby, begin by deciding whether you already have an account. If you do, use the sign-in route associated with that account. If you are new, look for the account creation option. Creating another account is not the first step for fixing a sign-in problem. It can leave you looking at a different account from the one that holds your existing access and history.

The choices on the sign-in screen depend on how this version of TraderLobby is set up. You may see password sign-in, Sign in with a passkey, Continue with Google, or Continue with Microsoft. Use a method that is available and connected to your account. If a method is missing, that does not mean you have overlooked a hidden button. It may not be enabled here.

For password sign-in, enter your account identifier in the field shown and enter your TraderLobby password. Read the field label rather than assuming every service uses the same identifier. Check for a typing error before submitting. If your browser fills in saved details, make sure they belong to the account you intended to open. Saved information is convenient, but it can still be information for the wrong person or account.

For Google or Microsoft sign-in, read the account shown in the provider’s prompt. A shared browser may remember someone else’s identity. Choose your intended account and follow the prompts back to TraderLobby. For a passkey, follow your device’s approval prompt. We’ll explain passkeys and recovery on the next page.

If you’re creating an account, complete the information requested by the form. Review the password requirements and the agreements before accepting them. This is a real account application, so use accurate information. Our lesson demonstrations use sample details to protect privacy, but those samples are not information to copy into your own registration.

Registration is not always open. If the app says account creation is closed or limited, follow the access information it provides. Repeatedly submitting the same form will not change that access rule. Existing users should return to the sign-in route; new users should use the available instructions for obtaining access.

You may also be asked to complete security setup before entering the main app. Follow the required steps instead of treating them as optional screens to skip. If exchange setup appears afterward, remember that connecting an exchange and preparing Live access are separate from signing in. Read that step carefully; the exchange lesson will cover its permissions in detail.

After submitting, wait for the result. An error message, a security prompt, and the main workspace are three different outcomes. If there’s an error, read it and address that specific step. If the workspace opens, check the account identity before continuing. Your practice task here is simply to identify the sign-in method you would use and describe how you would confirm that it opened the correct account.

Security screens can look similar because several of them ask you to prove something. The important question is: what is this screen asking me to prove? Understanding that question helps you choose the right information and avoid entering a code in the wrong place.

Email verification confirms access to an email address. If TraderLobby asks you to verify your email, follow the verification instructions associated with your account. That step does not connect an exchange, approve a trade, or prove ownership of every account using the same address. It has a specific purpose: confirming that you can access that email.

An authenticator adds another check during sign-in. You may see the term multi-factor authentication, or MFA. It means using more than one kind of proof to access an account. In the authenticator flow, you set up an authenticator app and enter the six-digit code it produces. The code changes over time, so use the current code for the correct TraderLobby entry. If setup asks you to confirm a code, wait for confirmation that setup succeeded.

A passkey is another way to prove that you can access the account. Instead of typing a password into TraderLobby, you approve a request through a supported device or security key. That approval might use a fingerprint, face recognition, or a device unlock method. Only approve a request you intended to start. If this is your first visit and the app requires passkey setup, follow the setup prompt before expecting passkey sign-in to work.

Now consider a forgotten password. The sign-in screen includes a Forgot password option. That flow asks for your account email and then a recovery code, followed by a new password and its confirmation. Read the code instructions on the screen. The current flow explains that requesting a newer code replaces the earlier one. Using an old message after requesting a replacement can keep you stuck even when you enter the code correctly.

A recovery message may say that a code was sent if the account exists. That wording is not a confirmation that you entered the correct email. Check the address and the expected inbox, and follow the available instructions. When the password reset succeeds, return to sign-in with the new password. Resetting a password does not necessarily remove a separate security check that your account requires.

There is also a one-time recovery code option for the authenticator sign-in challenge. This is different from the code sent during a password reset. Keep the recovery codes provided for account security somewhere private and retrievable. Do not put them in a community post, screenshot, or message asking for help. A code is useful because it can grant access; that is also why it needs protection.

For your check, imagine that a screen asks for an authenticator code, but you have opened a password-reset email. Would you use that email code here? No. Return to the instructions for the specific screen. You do not need to trigger a reset for practice. Being able to identify the correct recovery route is the skill we’re building.

Once the workspace opens, take a moment to check who is signed in. This is a small habit that prevents a large amount of confusion. A page can look familiar while belonging to a different account. That matters whenever you share a device, use more than one identity, or return to a browser that has been open for a while.

Look for the account control near the top of the app. On desktop, it shows your account name or an account label, along with an initial. On the mobile layout, the initial is a compact way to open the same kind of account menu. Open that menu and read the Signed in as information. Confirm that it matches the TraderLobby account you intended to use.

If it is the wrong account, stop before changing settings or using trading controls. Use the sign-out option, then return through the correct sign-in route. Do not try to fix the mismatch by connecting an exchange to the account that happens to be open. That would change a connection, not correct your identity.

The account menu also provides appearance and language controls. These help you read and use the app comfortably. Changing a theme or a language changes how the interface is presented. It does not change the owner of your account or move assets between exchanges. Some labels in this lesson may appear in your selected language, so look for the matching purpose as well as the exact English words.

For more detailed account controls, open Settings. The account security area is where you can review the security options offered for your account. You’ll explore those settings carefully in a later chapter. Today, locate the area and recognize its purpose. You do not need to change a password, replace a security method, or request account deletion to demonstrate that you know where it is.

There is an important limit to signing out. Signing out ends your access through that signed-in session. It is not a command to sell your holdings, cancel a subscription, or stop a running strategy. Closing a browser tab is not a trading shutdown command either. If you need to stop trading activity, use the controls intended for that purpose and verify their results. We’ll cover those actions separately.

On a shared device, use sign-out when you finish and confirm that protected account access now requires signing in again. Close any account information you opened separately. Keep passwords and recovery codes out of shared notes and screenshots. If the browser offers to remember a credential on a device you do not control, do not accept simply to get through the screen faster.

Here’s the practice check. Locate your account menu, identify the signed-in account, and find the sign-out control without activating it during the lesson. Then explain what signing out would do. A complete answer is: it ends this account session, but it does not automatically stop activity that is running independently of the browser.

Now let’s build a simple map of the app. You do not need to remember the location of every button. Start by learning which section answers which kind of question. When you know what you’re trying to find, the menu becomes a useful guide instead of a list of unfamiliar names.

On desktop, use the navigation rail along the side of the workspace. If the rail is collapsed to icons, expand it to read the section labels. On the mobile layout, open the navigation menu to see the section names. The arrangement is more compact, and the trading area may be labeled Portfolio. Read the heading after opening a section so you can confirm where you arrived.

The Trading workspace is where you inspect markets, positions, and trading controls. Strategies is where you explore the strategy features available to you. API connections is the area for exchange connections. Here, API means the way one service allows another service to communicate with it. You do not need to write code to understand the purpose of the connection page.

Transactions and Reporting answer different questions. Transactions helps you follow individual account events, such as an execution or a movement recorded in the ledger. Reporting helps you review results across a selected period. If you want to investigate one specific event, start with Transactions. If you want to understand a broader pattern, Reporting may be the more useful starting point. You’ll learn how to check their account and time settings later.

Billing is for the plans, subscriptions, and charges available to your account. Settings contains preferences and account controls. Community is for discussions and interaction with other people. Learn is where you are now: the lesson library and app guide. You can visit these sections without treating every available control as something you need to activate.

Some sections open another view inside the section. For example, a lesson opens from a chapter card, and a discussion can open from a community list. Look for the back or close control belonging to that view. On mobile, the Learn screen has its own close button. Closing that screen returns you to the underlying app; it does not sign you out.

The browser’s Back button follows browser history. A control inside the app follows the action assigned to that particular view. Neither should be treated as an undo button for a submitted order or an account change. Leaving a screen does not prove that an action was canceled. For an action that changes something, check its confirmation or status in the relevant section.

Try a short navigation check. Identify where you would look for an exchange connection, a past account event, and an account preference. The answers are API connections, Transactions, and Settings. Then locate Learn again. If you are following along while listening, you can pause first and return to the lesson afterward. The aim is to find your way confidently, not to move through the menus quickly.

You now have the foundation for exploring TraderLobby: you can separate the app account from an exchange connection, recognize the purpose of security prompts, check your identity, and find the main sections. The next step is choosing a learning route that matches what you need to understand.

Inside Learn, the section tabs organize the library. Basics introduces the foundations of crypto and trading. Medium develops concepts such as market size, trading pairs, candles, and risk. Pro explores more advanced ideas. How This App Works focuses on using TraderLobby itself. You can move between these sections when you need an explanation; you do not have to pretend you understand a term just because it appeared in an advanced chapter.

For this app guide, follow the early chapters in order. After this introduction, take the dashboard tour, review account settings and security, and learn about exchange connections and Paper versus Live. Those chapters establish the context you will need before working with trading controls. Later sections cover markets, manual trading, automation, records, billing, and community.

The Creator branch has a different purpose. It covers building, testing, publishing, and managing strategies, along with Creator earnings and payouts. Those tasks require the appropriate access. You can become a confident customer without publishing a strategy. Follow that branch when it matches your role and goals.

Read a chapter card before opening it. An available lesson has pages you can work through. An Upcoming card with an Explore page outline control describes planned content. Expanding that outline lets you see what the chapter will cover; it does not start a completed lesson. We keep that distinction visible so you can tell what is ready and what is still being prepared.

In a playable lesson, the page number shows where you are within the chapter. Pause stops the current playback so you can take time to read. Continue resumes it, and Replay starts the current page again. Silence turns off narration; Sound turns it back on. Use Next page to advance when you’re ready. Back takes you to the previous page, or out of the lesson when you are on its first page. The final page has a Finish control.

The transcript lets you read the narration as text. Use it to revisit an explanation or follow along with the voice. Fullscreen gives the lesson more space. On a small screen, some section tabs may require a sideways scroll. The Play section offers separate learning activities; those activities are not the Paper trading workspace. Learn tracks lesson progress, but if a browser or connection does not restore your place, you can reopen the chapter and navigate to the page you need.

Before finishing, complete one final check in your own words. Which TraderLobby account are you using? Where would you look for its security settings? Where would you inspect an exchange connection? And where would you return to continue learning? You do not need to submit an order or change an account setting to answer any of those questions.

When you can answer them, you’re ready for the dashboard tour. We’ll take the same approach there: identify the information, understand what it means, and check the result before moving on.
