⚡ 60-Second Online Quick Start
Aetherion is a hosted product. There's no software to download, no terminal commands, no API keys to configure. Everything you need lives at this domain. Three steps and you're running live AI analysis on real market data.
Step 1 — Create your account
Open /auth and register with an email + password. Free plan gets you the live chart, watchlist, risk calculator, and trade journal. Pro ($49/month) unlocks 10,000 AI analysis tokens per month — enough for ~10 full watchlist scans, plus the AI pattern analyzer and predictive forecasts.
Step 2 — Set your watchlist
On /account there's a Your Watchlist card. Type the forex pairs you actually trade
— one per line, six-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPJPY, USDCAD. Up to 50 pairs.
These are the pairs the AI will scan when you click Run Full Scan and the pairs the live chart defaults to.
You can change them any time. Aetherion stores your watchlist server-side, so it follows you to any device you sign in on.
Step 3 — Run your first scan
- Open /live (the AI tool)
- Pick a pair from the dropdown — or click Scan all pairs to grade your entire watchlist
- Wait ~10–15 seconds while Aetherion pulls bars across W / D / H4 / H1 / M30 / M15 / M5 from the live market data feed
- Read the eight-section verdict: trend alignment, B+ grade, AOI levels, entry / SL / TP suggestions, forecast confidence, and AI explanation
Need a chart? Go to /chart for the full embedded TradingView chart engine — same charts, indicators, and drawing tools, in your browser. No app to download.
🖥️ Power-user mode — Link your own TradingView Desktop
For traders who want the AI scanner to read their own TradingView Desktop charts — including their custom indicators, drawings, and personal watchlist panel — Aetherion offers a companion app called the Aetherion Bridge.
Why you might want this
The default online experience uses an External Market Data feed (Twelve Data / Yahoo Finance) — accurate OHLCV across all forex pairs and timeframes, fully sufficient for the v5.3 analysis. Bridge mode adds:
- The AI sees your custom Pine indicators (RSI levels, custom MAs, FXAlexG club checklist, etc.) — not just price action
- Your hand-drawn support/resistance lines and AOI boxes are read into the analysis
- Annotated screenshots are taken from your chart layout — fonts, colors, and indicators included
- Your live TradingView watchlist syncs automatically — no need to keep two lists in sync
How the Aetherion Bridge works (in plain terms)
TradingView Desktop runs locally on your computer. Aetherion runs in the cloud. The two can't talk to each other directly — that's by design (your computer's data stays on your computer). The Bridge is a tiny background app that you run on the same Mac/PC as TradingView Desktop. It:
- Reads bars, indicator values, and chart state from your local TradingView Desktop (same way the desktop app already exposes itself for browser dev tools)
- Forwards only the data Aetherion asks for, signed with your account token, to the Aetherion server over an outbound HTTPS connection
- Never accepts inbound connections from the internet — your TradingView never gets exposed publicly

Bridge FAQ
Will I need to download TradingView Desktop?
Only if you want Bridge Mode. External Mode runs entirely in your browser. If you don't already have the desktop app, you can install it free from tradingview.com/desktop — your free TradingView account works fine.
Is the Bridge safe? Does Aetherion get my TradingView password?
No. The Bridge never reads or stores your TradingView credentials — it only reads the data already displayed on your chart. The connection is outbound-only (your computer to Aetherion's servers); nothing on the public internet can reach your TradingView through the Bridge. The companion will be open-source so anyone can audit exactly what it sends.
Will Bridge work on Linux?
The first release ships for macOS and Windows since that's where TradingView Desktop is officially supported. Linux support depends on TradingView shipping an official Linux build.
Can I use both modes?
Yes — you can switch on /account any time. Some traders prefer Bridge during their session and External overnight or away from their computer. Your watchlist, journal, and account state stay the same.
Troubleshooting
I signed up but can't sign back in
Passwords are case-sensitive and need to be at least 8 characters. If you forgot it, sign out, then re-register with a new email — self-service password reset is on the roadmap.
The chart at /chart shows "Loading TradingView…" forever
Some browser ad-blockers (uBlock Origin with strict lists, Brave Shields on aggressive) block the TradingView widget script. Add an exception for this domain or temporarily disable the shield, then refresh.
Live tool says "Out of tokens for this billing period"
You've used your monthly Pro allotment. Tokens reset on your renewal date (visible on /account). You can cancel and re-subscribe on a fresh date if you want to reset early.
Stripe checkout returns me but I'm still on Free
The success page calls Stripe directly to confirm payment — usually takes 1–3 seconds. If it's been longer than 30 seconds, refresh /account; if you're still Free, click Manage in Stripe from the account page (it's there as soon as a Stripe customer exists) and email support — we'll reconcile manually.
Where do I cancel?
Go to /account → Cancel subscription. Your Pro access continues until the end of the paid period — no immediate cutoff.
