Quickstart
This walks you through your first workspace, from an empty account to a live feed of forecasts. It takes a few minutes.
Before you start
Radar 61 is a desktop application. It will tell you to switch devices if you open it on a phone.
Your plan decides how much you can build. Watch allows one workspace with one section and three widgets. Core allows three workspaces, five sections, and eight widgets. Pro is unlimited.
1. Create a workspace
Click New Workspace at the top of the sidebar.
Give it a name that says what it is for, such as "London session forex" rather than "Workspace 1". Pick an icon and a colour so you can tell your workspaces apart at a glance, then choose the markets you want it focused on.
You can change all of this later.
In a hurry? The Apps section of the sidebar holds ready made environments. Open Technical Analysis for a working layout without building anything. You cannot rearrange an App, so build a Workspace when you want control.
2. Add your first widget
Click Widget in the top bar and pick one, or choose Open Widget Store to add several at once.
Start with Live Forecasts. It is the heart of the platform and needs no setup.
3. Read the feed
Forecasts appear as they are detected. Each row gives you the instrument, the pattern behind it, the timeframe, the levels, and a confidence score.
Click any row to open the detail panel, which shows the forecast drawn on a chart along with how much of its window has elapsed.
The feed is ordered by when each forecast was found, newest first, not by confidence. Use the filter icon to narrow it down.
See Reading a Forecast for what each field means.
4. Add a chart
Add the Chart widget next.
Click the instrument name at the top of the panel to change what it shows, and use the timeframe buttons for M15, M30, H1, H4, or D1.
If a forecast exists for what you are viewing, its setup level and target are drawn directly on the price.
5. Arrange your space
Drag widgets to move them. Drop one on top of another and they become tabs in the same panel, which is how you fit more into a small screen.
Your layout saves to your account automatically and stays consistent across open tabs.
You are ready
That is a working environment. From here:
- Reading a Forecast to understand what the feed is telling you
- Confidence scoring to read the percentage
- Catalogue to look up any pattern you see
- Glossary for anything unfamiliar
Alerts, which watch the market for you and notify you when a setup appears, require Core or above.
