Getting started: platform guide
This guide takes you from your first visit to your first managed trade: creating your account, connecting your exchange, setting up the analysis and using the dashboard. By the end you will be able to move around the platform without help, although your personal manager will remain available for whatever is missing. It is written for someone who has never traded: if you already have experience, it works as a quick reference.
1. Introduction: what you will achieve with this guide
Thriventage automates trading analysis and execution, but there are decisions only you can make: which strategy to activate, with how much money and with what risk limits. This guide covers the four practical steps of getting started and ends with the recommended pages to go deeper. The typical time for the whole process, from registration to the first managed trade, is one to two days, allowing for identity verification and the first deposit.
Before you start, have three things to hand: a valid photographic ID (passport or driving licence), access to your online banking for the deposit by transfer or card, and about twenty uninterrupted minutes for registration and the initial call with your manager.
2. Step 1: account registration
Registration is done from the form on any page of the site: full name, email address, phone number and a password. Use an email address you check regularly: security notifications and the confirmation of each step will arrive there. For the password, apply the “long and unique passphrase” rule: a sequence of words with numbers and symbols that you use nowhere else.
After submitting the form you receive the confirmation by email and your account is created on the Basic plan. Within the following 24 hours, your personal manager calls to introduce themselves, understand your experience and goals, and schedule the activation. Do not deposit anything before that call: it is your chance to resolve every question.
Security recommendations from minute one: turn on two-step verification with an authenticator app before anything else; check that your account email is correct; and store your password in a password manager rather than a note on your phone. The security page details each measure.
3. Step 2: connecting your exchange
To trade, the platform connects to the exchange where orders will be executed (Binance, Bitget, Bybit, OKX or KuCoin). The connection is made using API keys that you generate in your exchange account and register in the Thriventage dashboard. It is a five-minute task your manager can walk you through by phone the first time.
When generating the key on the exchange, apply the principle of least privilege: enable only read and trade; leave the withdrawal permission off, which the platform does not need for the strategies to work. If the exchange lets you restrict the key to certain IP addresses, the recommended option appears in your Thriventage dashboard. Store the key’s secret code only in your password manager: nobody from the platform should ever ask you for that secret by chat or email.
Check the connection status in the dashboard: it should show the exchange, the linking date and the permissions granted. You can revoke the key at any time from the exchange or from your dashboard; the strategies stop without executing further orders until you reconnect.
4. Step 3: setting up analysis and monitoring
With the account active and the exchange connected, you choose what to watch and how. The platform organises monitoring by pairs and markets: for example, BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, GBP/USD or gold. For each one you can consult the system’s current analysis: dominant trend, recent volatility and the active signals of the available strategies.
Configuring a strategy involves three basic decisions: the pair or set of pairs to watch; the maximum tolerated loss limit (the point at which the strategy stops); and the notifications you want to receive, which can be for relevant moves, order executions or changes in market state. You can test any strategy in the simulator with real data before activating it with money.
One honest piece of setup advice: start boring. Small amounts, conservative loss limits and a single pair. The temptation to switch everything on at once is normal in the first week; a month of calm reports teaches you more than initial enthusiasm, and you can always scale up once you understand how each strategy behaves.
5. Step 4: the dashboard and daily management
The dashboard is your operations and control centre. The main view summarises the available balance, open positions, the period’s result and the status of each active strategy. From there you also: review the trading history with its reasoning, pause or reactivate strategies, adjust risk limits, manage active sessions and devices, and request withdrawals of the available balance.
The recommended daily routine is simple: a glance at the summary, a read of the report when it arrives and a check of the alert emails. The whole point of automation is precisely that you do not need to be glued to the screen: the system watches, you supervise. For most users the real time commitment comes to less than fifteen minutes a day.
Remember that pausing a strategy does not close open positions: to close them, use the corresponding option in the strategy’s detail view or discuss it with your manager. And the “available” balance is what you can withdraw; what is committed to positions is released as they close.
6. Important notes before you trade
First: no outcome is guaranteed. Automated trading applies rules with discipline, but the markets decide the result, and losses are just as possible as gains. Second: identity verification is mandatory before withdrawals are enabled; do it early so you are not waiting later. Third: loss limits protect, they do not promise: in jumpy markets the execution may land near the set level. Fourth: final responsibility for decisions is yours; the platform and your manager provide information and tools, not certainties.
We recommend reading the risk disclosure in full before your first deposit. It is not a formality: it is the part of the site that best protects your money. And if anything in this guide is unclear, ask your manager: the questions you ask at the start are the ones that prevent expensive mistakes later.
