Onboarding checklist

What every platform guide should include before launch.

These items make the public platform page useful instead of being only a logo grid.

Each guide should show where the trader opens the terminal and whether desktop, web, iOS, or Android is supported.

Provider and login flow

Show provider/server name, login flow, account type, and where credentials appear inside the client area.

Symbols and instruments

Explain symbols, suffixes, sessions, commissions, spreads, swaps, and instrument availability.

Rules connection

Link every platform guide back to the Rules Center before traders use automation, VPN/VPS, weekend holding, or news trading.

Mobile and tablet support

Use responsive screenshots so each platform looks strong on phone, tablet, and desktop.

Support escalation

Tell traders what to send support if credentials, symbols, balance, provider, or account status are wrong.

Recommended setup flow

A simple sequence for new challenge accounts.

This keeps traders from opening positions before the platform, account, and rules are confirmed.

1

Choose your program and confirm platform availability.

2

Open the platform guide before checkout or before first trade.

3

Receive credentials inside the client area after account creation.

4

Install the terminal or open the web platform.

5

Verify provider, account, balance, symbols, sessions, and rules.

6

Start trading only after everything matches the account instructions.

Credential safety

Never share platform credentials with account management services, passing services, or unknown support accounts.

Risk visibility

Before trading, confirm how your program calculates daily loss, maximum loss, equity, balance, and session resets.

Connection issues

If platform connection, symbols, provider, or account balance look wrong, contact support before opening positions.

Compliance note

Platform availability, providers, access links, symbols, suffixes, leverage, commissions, swaps, data feeds, trading hours, supported instruments, and execution conditions must match the final operational setup before production launch.

Choose a program after checking platform fit.

Platform familiarity matters. Pick the route and terminal that match your trading workflow, then read the rules before trading.
