Getting started: create and set up your account

Setup: create your account

1. Go to the Create an account page.
2. Enter your First name, your Email address, and a Password, then click Sign up. Registration is free.
3. You are immediately logged in and redirected to the Dashboard. For your next visits, use the Login page with your email and password.

Steps: set up your workspace

1. Create your first trading account

ChimTradeApp organizes your positions by trading account (demo, live, prop firm…). To create one:

1. Open Settings in the menu, then the Accounts tab.
2. In the New account block, enter a Name (for example "Demo XM"), the Broker (optional), and the account Currency (USD, EUR…).
3. Add the Initial balance if you want to track the evolution of your capital, then click Create account.
4. If you use several accounts, set the main one with the Default button.

The technical settings (XAUUSD contract size, tick, default leverage) are pre-filled with market standards: 1 lot = 100 ounces. You can adjust them if your broker uses different conventions.

2. Choose the language and theme

The interface is available in French, English, and Vietnamese: use the Language selector in the header. The Toggle theme button switches between light and dark display, which is more comfortable for following the markets in the evening.

3. Set your time zone

In Settings → General, check the Time zone field (for example Europe/London): it determines the times shown in the calendar and the automatic session detection for each position. This is also where you enable Browser notifications.

Tour of the dashboard

The Dashboard page is your daily starting point. You will find:

• The key indicators: net PnL, number of positions, win rate, profit factor, max drawdown…
• Your funds tracking: Total deposits, Total withdrawals, and Net deposits.
• The equity curve and the daily PnL, to visualize your progress.
• A By session chart (Asia, London, US) that shows where you actually make money.

The side menu gives access to the other pages: Calendar, Positions, Gold price, Analytics, AI Report, and Settings. On mobile, the essential screens (Dashboard, Calendar, Positions, Gold) remain accessible in the bottom bar.

Key takeaways

• Sign-up takes three fields on the Create an account page.
• Create a trading account first in Settings → Accounts: without it, you cannot record a position.
• Language, theme, and time zone can be set in seconds.
• The dashboard summarizes your performance as soon as your first positions are recorded.
