Getting started: your first week on Brunevo

01 Registering your account

Registration takes your name, email address and phone number. Choose a password you have not used anywhere else, because credential stuffing, where attackers replay passwords leaked from other sites, remains the most common way accounts are compromised. A password manager solves this problem permanently.

Enable two-factor authentication from the security settings the moment your account exists. The Security page describes the supported methods; the short version is that an authenticator app on your phone makes a stolen password almost worthless to an attacker. Do it now rather than later: the day you wish you had it is a bad day to set it up.

While you are in the account, run the verification described in the AML/KYC policy: one photographic identity document, one recent proof of address, and in some cases a short selfie check. Most checks clear automatically within minutes, and finishing them now means your first withdrawal later never waits on paperwork. Photograph documents on a dark surface with all four corners visible; most manual reviews are caused by glare and cropping, not by anything suspicious.

02 Connecting your exchange access

The engine reads markets and, where you enable automated execution, trades through API keys on the exchanges your strategy uses. Your manager will tell you exactly which key settings to create, and the platform guides the connection step by step. You generate the keys on the exchange side; we never ask for your exchange password.

When you create a key, scope it to what the engine needs: reading market data and placing trades under your settings. Leave withdrawal permissions off the key unless you have a specific reason; withdrawal rights are a separate permission by design. Keys can be rotated or revoked from your dashboard at any time, and the audit history records every change, so nothing here is irreversible or hidden.

03 Configuring analysis and monitoring

Configuration is where your manager earns their keep. Together you choose the trading pairs or asset groups the engine should watch, the strategy profile that matches your temperament, from conservative to active, and the notifications worth receiving. Sensible defaults exist for each, and the point of the conversation is to adjust them to your situation rather than to overwhelm you with options.

Two settings deserve your full attention. The first is the capital ceiling: the maximum amount the engine may work with at once, which you should set at a level whose total loss would not change your plans. The second is the notification set: too few and you miss what matters, too many and you learn to ignore them within a week. Start with the weekly report plus security alerts, and add from there.

A short checklist keeps the configuration conversation honest. Bring the answers to four questions and the call does the work of an afternoon:

• How much of the balance may the engine work with at once?
• Which markets should it watch: shares, cryptoassets, or both?
• Which events should reach you as alerts, and which can wait for the weekly report?
• What drawdown, in pounds, would make you pause the strategy yourself?

04 Reading the dashboard and staying in control

The dashboard answers four questions at a glance: what the engine is doing now, how your positions look, what has changed since your last visit, and what it cost. Spend your first week opening it once a day and reading the weekly report end to end when it arrives; familiarity built in calm weeks pays for itself the first time something unusual happens.

Control stays where it belongs, with you. Strategies can be paused instantly, settings changed at any time, and withdrawals requested whenever your balance allows, per the withdrawal policy. The engine automates the work of trading, not the accountability for it: reviewing what your account did remains your job, and it is a thirty-minute-a-week job at most.

05 What a realistic first week looks like

Expectations set in week one decide how you behave in week ten. The first days are usually quiet: the engine gathers data on your configured instruments, positions open when conditions match your profile, and the dashboard shows more analysis than action. A quiet start is the engine being selective, not the service being broken.

By the end of the first week you will have seen at least one position open, probably one close, and your first weekly report. Read that report twice: once for what happened, once for the costs line, because knowing what your account costs to run is part of knowing what it earns. If anything in the report is unclear, that is precisely the material for your next conversation with your manager, who would rather explain a line now than a misunderstanding later.

06 Important notes before you fund

No strategy guarantees profit, on this platform or any other. The engine applies probability-based analysis with discipline, and disciplined application of an edge still produces losing weeks and sometimes losing months. Markets carry the risks described in the risk disclosure, and automation changes the labour of trading, not its nature.

Every investment decision on your account is yours, including the decision to follow a strategy profile your manager suggests. Suggestions are informed, but they are not guarantees, and a manager worth their title will happily explain the reasoning behind any recommendation until it is yours rather than theirs. Fund only what you can afford to lose without changing your plans.
