Getting Started

First steps with Surging Markets — accounts, brokers, your first trade.

What is Surging Markets?
Surging Markets is a trading-focused platform combining market data, trade analysis (Surge It), a social Trading Floor, and an auto-trade engine that is in development — not included yet. It is built for retail traders who want institutional-grade tooling without writing code.
How do I take my first trade?
Open the Hub, pick a pair from the Pair Pool, run the Pre-Trade Checklist, then place the trade with your broker using the one-click DWY entry. (Auto-execution through a connected broker is in development — not included yet.)
What's the $3 Ignite Challenge?
Ignite is a low-friction onboarding flow priced at $3. It walks you from signup through your first structured Done-With-You (DWY) trade — daily play card and gated bucket selection. (One-click DFY auto-execute is in development — not included yet.)
How do I connect a broker?
Broker connections (OANDA, MetaTrader 4 bridge) are part of the auto-trade engine, which is in development — not included yet. When it ships, you will connect via Settings → Broker Connections using API credentials or an account token.
Do I need a paid plan to test the platform?
You can browse markets, watch the Trading Floor, and read educational content on the free tier. FSB signals and Voice Lobby require a paid Surggies tier. (Auto-trade is in development — not included yet.)
What pairs and markets are supported?
120 OANDA forex pairs plus 769 crypto pairs from Coinbase. Major indices (QQQ, SPY, DIA) and commodities (gold, silver, oil, natural gas) are surfaced via OANDA CFDs.
Where do I see my trade history?
Trade Performance dashboard tracks every executed trade, P&L, drawdown, and per-strategy stats. Filter by date range, broker, or strategy bucket.
