Getting Started

Quickstart

Get up and running with Alphonce in under 5 minutes.

1. Create an account

Sign up at alphonce.io or run:

alphonce auth login

2. Connect your broker

Go to Settings → Brokers and connect your Trading 212, Alpaca, or Interactive Brokers account. We use OAuth — we never see your login password.

3. Run your first research query

Open the Research tab and ask anything:

“Should I increase my NVDA position before earnings?”

The AI analyses market data, news sentiment, and fundamentals in seconds.

4. Deploy a paper trading bot

  1. Go to Strategies → Browse and pick a verified strategy
  2. Click Deploy
  3. Select Paper mode and your broker
  4. Set capital allocation (e.g. 10%)
  5. Click Launch

Your bot will start trading with simulated money. Monitor performance in the Alpha Deck.

5. Go live (when ready)

Once you're confident with paper results, edit the bot and switch to Live mode.

Important

Live trading carries real financial risk. Start small, set stop losses, and never trade more than you can afford to lose.
