# Quick Start

Get up and running with Glint in under 2 minutes.

***

### 1. Sign In

Go to [glint.trade](https://glint.trade) and click **Get Started**. Sign in with Google — no passwords or wallets needed to browse.

### 2. Explore the Terminal

You'll land on the **Vision Terminal** — a 3D globe showing real-time signals, whale trades, and military flights around the world.

* **Click a country** to see linked Polymarket contracts and recent signals from that region
* **Hover on pulse dots** to preview breaking signals; click to expand the full card
* **Hover on whale diamonds** to see trade size, wallet age, and PnL

Use the **Signal Ticker** scrolling across the top to catch the latest critical signals at a glance.

### 3. Browse the Feed

Navigate to **Feed** from the top nav. This is your main signal stream — every signal Glint detects flows through here.

Filter by impact level using the pills at the top:

* **Critical** — Major breaking events likely to cause immediate market movement
* **High** — Significant developments with clear market implications
* **Low** — Background noise, minor developments

You can also filter by **category** (Politics, Crypto, Military, etc.), **country**, and **topic**.

### 4. Read a Signal Card

Each card shows:

* **Source** — X/Twitter, news, or Telegram, with verification badges
* **Category** — Politics, Economics, Crypto, Military, Legal, and more
* **Impact level** — Critical, High, or Low with a colored left border
* **Matched markets** — Polymarket contracts this signal maps to, with YES/NO odds, relevance score, and causation label (Likely Cause, Contextual, or Background)

### 5. Trade

Click any matched market to open the **Market Focus** view with a price chart, order book, live trades, and a trade panel. Choose Buy or Sell, pick YES or NO, set your amount, and execute.

To trade, you'll need a wallet. Click **"Setup Trading Wallet"** in the top nav and either import your existing Polymarket wallet or create a new one instantly.

### 6. Go Deeper

Once you're comfortable with the basics:

* **Markets** — Browse all active Polymarket contracts by category, bookmark the ones you care about
* **Movers** — See which markets are moving fastest right now
* **Grid View** — Set up a multi-column layout with independent filters to monitor multiple feeds at once
* **Portfolio** — Track your open positions, trade history, and realized PnL
* **Alerts** — Set up keyword alerts delivered via Telegram and Discord so you don't miss signals while away
