# Quickstart

_Source: https://docs.neurotrading.io/zh/getting-started/quickstart_

Get from zero to your first trade in about five minutes. Everything here happens in the **Telegram bot**; if you prefer a browser, follow [The web dashboard](web-dashboard) instead — the account and wallets are shared.

## 1. Open the bot

Start a chat with the Neurobot Telegram bot and send `/start`. Your Telegram identity **is** your account — there is no separate password to create.

> **Info**
>
> Joined through a friend's invite link? Their referral is attached automatically — you don't need to do anything extra.

## 2. Create a wallet

Send `/wallets` and choose **Create wallet**. The platform generates a fresh Solana wallet for you and stores its key encrypted. You can also **connect an existing wallet** with its seed phrase — see [Wallets](wallets) for the details and the security model.

## 3. Fund it

Copy your wallet address from `/wallets` and send SOL to it from an exchange or another wallet. Keep a little extra SOL beyond what you plan to trade — every Solana transaction costs a small network fee, and token accounts require a refundable rent deposit.

## 4. Make your first trade

1. Send `/trade` (or just paste a token's contract address into the chat).
2. Review the token card — price, market cap, liquidity, socials.
3. Choose **Buy**, pick an amount, confirm.

Slippage and priority fee have sensible defaults; you can tune both per trade or in your settings. The full options are covered in [Manual trading](../trading/manual-trading).

## 5. Watch it, then take profit

* The bot notifies you when your trades land.
* `/token` shows any token's live info and your position; the **Share PnL** button renders a card you can post.
* Set a [take-profit / stop-loss](../trading/tp-sl) so you don't have to watch the chart.

## Where to go next

* [Set up TP/SL on a position](../tutorials/set-up-tp-sl)
* [Launch your first sniper bot](../tutorials/launch-a-sniper)
* [Copy a wallet](../tutorials/copy-a-wallet)
