# Quick Start

From invite to your first live watch in a few minutes.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Vigil

Use the link in your invite. Vigil runs on web and mobile.

| Platform | Where to get it     |
| -------- | ------------------- |
| Web      | Link in your invite |
| iOS      | Link in your invite |
| Android  | Link in your invite |

The web app is a good place to look around. For alerts on the go, install the mobile app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create your account

Sign in with email or a social account. Your wallet is set up for you.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fund your wallet

Tap **Fund wallet**, copy your address, and send USDC from any wallet or exchange.

Start small. You can always add more later.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set your guardrails

Before your first plan, set:

* Max size per trade
* Max loss per day
* Default mode — we recommend **Confirm** to start

See [Managing Your Watches](/vigil-docs/closed-beta-guide/managing-your-watches.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Write your first plan

Tap the input box and describe what you want, in your own words:

> Buy $50 of SOL if it drops below 140. Take profit at 155, stop at 134.

Vigil turns it into a **plan card** with every detail:

* Trigger
* Action and size
* Stop and take profit
* Market it will run on
* Mode (Confirm or Auto)
* A plain-language risk summary

Read the card carefully. This is the moment to catch a misunderstanding. Edit anything that looks off, or rewrite your plan.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm

When the card looks right, tap **Confirm**. Your watch is live, 24/7. You can close the app.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://vigil-1.gitbook.io/vigil-docs/closed-beta-guide/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
