{% step %}

#### Create Your Account

Navigate to [www.insiders.bot](http://www.insiders.bot) and click the **LOGIN** button in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.

You have two login options:

<table><thead><tr><th>Login Method</th><th width="157.3515625">Wallet Type</th><th>Copy Trading</th><th>Best For</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Social Login (Telegram)</td><td><p>Custodial </p><p>(Privy-powered)</p></td><td>Supported (Native)</td><td>Most users who want a seamless Web2-style experience with instant execution</td></tr><tr><td>Connect Wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, OKX, etc.)</td><td>Self-Custodial</td><td>Supported (via EOA Delegation)</td><td>Users who prioritize full private key ownership but still want automation</td></tr></tbody></table>

<details>

<summary><strong>Note - Social Login</strong></summary>

If you use Social Login via Telegram, a secure custodial wallet is automatically generated for you via [Privy](https://www.privy.io/), the same embedded wallet solution used by Hyperliquid and other leading platforms.&#x20;

Your private keys are protected by Privy's infrastructure and secured with optional 2FA. When you log in through Telegram, we automatically create and link this custodial wallet on your behalf.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Note - Connect Wallet</strong></summary>

If you use Connect Wallet, your wallet remains fully self-custodial. Through our Externally Owned Account (EOA) delegation solution, you can authorize our smart contracts to execute copy trades on your behalf without giving up your private keys.&#x20;

You will be prompted to sign a **delegation transaction** to enable this. Please note that EOA delegation carries specific smart contract risks, see the Security page for full details.

</details>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (Recommended)

After logging in, we strongly recommend enabling **2FA** to protect your account.

1. Navigate to your account settings.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
3. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (e.g., **Google Authenticator, Authy**).
4. Enter the 6-digit verification code to confirm.

Once enabled, 2FA will be required for login and withdrawal actions, adding a critical layer of security to your funds.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Deposit Funds

Click the **DEPOSIT** button in the top navigation bar. A modal will appear with two deposit methods:

**Option A: Pay via Wallet**

Connect an existing crypto wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, or others) to bridge funds directly into your [Insiders.bot](http://Insiders.bot) account.

**Option B: Pay to Address**

Receive a unique Polygon network deposit address. Send funds from any exchange or external wallet to this address.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Supported tokens (Polygon network only as of April 2026):**

* **USDC:** Primary trading currency
* **USDC.e:** Bridged USDC (automatically accepted and interchangeable with USDC)
* **POL:** Required for gas fees (we recommend keeping at least $5 in POL)

Sending other tokens, or using the wrong network (e.g., Ethereum mainnet or Solana), **may result in lost funds.** Deposits typically confirm within 1–2 minutes. For support, please contact us via our official Telegram group.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Place Your First Trade

Return to the **HOME** tab. The homepage displays a multi-column live market feed.

1. Browse market categories (Crypto, Politics, Sports, Geopolitics, Tech, etc.).
2. Enter your desired trade amount in the **QUICK TRADE** input field at the top of any column (default: $10).
3. Click the green **YES/UP** button or the red **NO/DOWN** button on any market card to execute instantly.

Your trade will be submitted immediately at the current market price. You can view your open positions in the **PORTFOLIO** tab.
