Getting started From sign-up to your first workspace Create an account with Google, Bybit, or email, pick a workspace template for how you trade, and add the widgets you need. Your workspaces and alerts follow you to your phone. [ Create an account](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/getting-started/Registration.md) [ Pick a workspace template](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/getting-started/Workspaces.md#pick-a-template) ## Set up in four steps Four steps take you from a new account to a workspace you can analyze in. Each step links to the details.
  1. Step 1 of 4 Create an account Click Try for Free, or open takeprofit.com/platform and start using it. Sign up with Google, Bybit, or email, then verify your email once.
  2. Step 2 of 4 Pick a workspace Verification opens Create workspace. Pick a template such as Essentials, or start from scratch. You can change everything later.
  3. Step 3 of 4 Add and link widgets The Add Widgets button opens the Widget Hub. Link widgets on a channel so a new symbol in one of them updates the rest.
  4. Step 4 of 4 Find your instruments Search symbols from any chart, keep the ones you follow in a watchlist, or filter stocks in the screener.

Your email is verified once, and after that both routes work. * **Signing up with Bybit links the exchange.** The connection step is skipped, and you see your [Cashback](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/rewards-tools/rebates.md) rate instead. * **The exchange window can wait.** Without a connected exchange, a connection window opens after sign-up. Close it and [connect later](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/trading/exchange-account.md). * **Your username comes from your email.** Change it anytime in [Profile settings](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/getting-started/Profile-settings.md). * **Workspaces save themselves.** Changes are kept automatically, and you can keep separate workspaces for different markets or strategies. * **Not sure which template to pick?** Start with Essentials: a watchlist, a chart, Order Entry, and the Account widget on one screen. > [!NOTE] > > Stuck on something?
