CHAPTER 1 · THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES

Getting Started

From your very first visit to a working home base: what this site is, how to get in (there's no password to remember), and how to find anything in two clicks.

1.1What is CryptoLwa?

CryptoLwa is a crypto research terminal with a conscience. Instead of one busy dashboard, it's a family of specialist helpers — each named for a Lwa, each with exactly one job.

Think of it like a building with many rooms. One room shows you what the market is excited about. One checks whether a coin is a scam. One lets you practice trading with fake money. One quietly asks, before you buy, "are you sure — and why?" You visit the room you need.

The whole site follows one simple order, and this manual does too:

  1. Learn — free classes teach you the words and the ideas first.
  2. Practice — you test everything with paper trading (pretend money, real prices) before a single real dollar moves.
  3. Act — only when you're ready, you trade in your own wallet. CryptoLwa never holds your money.
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROLNothing on this site can spend your money or make a trade for you. It shows, explains, and warns — you decide and you click.

1.2The header — your map to everything

The same bar sits at the top of every page. Learn its parts once and you can reach any room in the building.

ON YOUR PHONEThe menu collapses into a ☰ button at the top-right. Tap it to open the same links stacked in a list.

1.3Signing in — there is no password

CryptoLwa never asks you to make a password. Instead, it emails you a fresh 6-digit code each time. Nothing to remember, nothing that can be stolen from a database.

Sign in you@email.com EMAIL ME A CODE 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3
The sign-in screen at /login
  1. Go to the sign-in page. Click Sign in in the header, or visit /login. Type your email address into the box (1).
  2. Ask for your code. Click Email me a code (2). A message reading "Code sent — check your inbox (and spam)" appears. The code is good for 10 minutes.
  3. Open your email. Find the 6-digit number. The first time, it may land in your spam or junk folder — mark it "not spam" so future codes arrive cleanly.
  4. Type the code and enter. Put the six digits in the code box (3) and click Verify & sign in. You land on your dashboard. That's it — you're in.

Two small helper links sit under the code box if you need them: Resend code (sends a fresh one) and Use a different email (starts over).

If you see…It means…Do this
"Code expired"More than 10 minutes passed.Click Resend code and use the newest email.
"Too many attempts"The code was mistyped several times.Wait a minute, then request a fresh code.
No email at allUsually a spam filter.Check spam/junk; corporate inboxes can lag a minute.
"Private pre-launch" pop-upThe site is still in its invite-only phase.Only team emails can enter until public launch.
PROTECT YOUR EMAILBecause there's no password, whoever controls your email controls your account. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on your email itself — that's your real front-door lock here.

1.4Creating an account & picking a plan

New here? Signing in for the first time already makes you a free account automatically. If you'd rather choose a paid plan up front, use the sign-up page instead.

  1. Open sign-up. Go to /signup. You'll see four plan cards side by side: Free, Monthly, Annual, Lifetime.
  2. Tap the plan you want. Clicking a card selects it (a highlight appears). Not sure? Pick Free — you can upgrade any time later.
  3. Enter your email. Type it in the box and click Create membership.
  4. Finish. A free plan emails you a one-tap sign-in link. A paid plan sends you to a secure Stripe checkout to enter payment, then unlocks the moment it confirms.

1.5A tour of your dashboard

After you sign in you land on the dashboard — your cockpit. It's a grid of panels, each a live window into one part of the market. Here's what you're looking at.

The member dashboard at /dashboard
  1. Fear & Greed — one number (0–100) for the market's mood. Low = fearful, high = greedy.
  2. Narrative heatmap — which themes (AI, DeFi, memes…) money is flowing into right now.
  3. My P&L snapshot — a quick read of your portfolio's profit/loss (links to the Portfolio).
  4. Picks · Movers · Tools — vetted picks, biggest 24h movers, and a live chart tool.
  5. News wire — a scrolling ribbon of the latest crypto headlines.
  6. Refresh-all button — the gold circle, bottom-right: tap it to update every panel at once.
THE REGIME RIBBONMany desks show the same four numbers at the top: total market cap, BTC dominance, 24-hour change, and a regime tag — RISK-ON (green), NEUTRAL (amber), or RISK-OFF (red). It's the market's weather report. When an agent disagrees with your gut, check the regime first.
DASHBOARD IS A MEMBER TOOLIf you're on a free account you'll see a "Become a Member" panel over the dashboard. That's expected — the free rooms (narratives, community, and the free foundation classes) are open to you. See Chapter 2.
