Astron for beginners: a complete, step-by-step guide

Getting started can feel complicated: lots of charts, new terms, and the fear of clicking the wrong button. This guide shows how to use Astron from scratch, what to expect from the platform, and the simplest tips to avoid the mistakes beginners make.

Why Astron? Is it good for beginners?

Astron is a digital trading platform with more than 270 assets: cryptocurrencies, currency pairs (forex), global indices and commodities, all in a single account.

Instead of filling the screen with advanced tools right from the first login, Astron shows the essentials and keeps the more technical features within reach for when you need them.

Here's why it works well if you're just starting out:

• Simple layout: you see only what you need to trade, with no confusing buttons.
• Free demo account: practice with a virtual balance before using real money.
• Access anywhere: through the browser or the app for Android and iOS.
• 24/7 online support: help at any time via suporte@astroncorretora.com.br.

Step 1: create your account

1. Sign up: click "Create account," enter your email and set a password.
2. Choose your account: you get access to both a demo account and a live account.
3. Verify your profile: submit a photo ID and proof of address in the verification area (KYC).

Step 2: get to know the platform

Before opening your first trade, it's worth taking a look around the trading screen. These are the main elements:

• Price chart of the asset you chose, in real time;
• Asset selector, to switch markets with a single click;
• Trade panel, with amount, direction and time;
• Balance of your demo or live account;
• History of your trades;
• Analysis tools, such as indicators and drawing lines.

You can also set up your workspace the way you like: choose the chart type (candles, lines or bars), the timeframe and the indicators you prefer to follow.

Step 3: choose what to trade

On Astron, you trade the price movement of assets: you bet on whether the price will rise or fall and aim to profit from the difference. This lets you trade both rising and falling markets.

• Forex: currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY.
• Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital coins.
• Commodities: gold, oil and other products.
• Indices: Nasdaq, S&P 500, Dow Jones and other global indices.

Step 4: place your first trade

1. Choose the asset from the selector, in the upper corner of the screen.
2. Analyze the chart: use indicators and trend lines to understand the movement.
3. Set the amount for the trade. At the start, use small amounts.
4. Click Buy if you think the price will rise, or Sell if you think it will fall.

Step 5: manage your risk

If there's one thing to take from this guide, let it be this: managing risk is what keeps you in the game.

• Use Stop-loss and Take-profit to close the trade automatically at a set loss or gain level.
• Never risk more than 1% to 2% of your balance on a single trade.
• Set price alerts to be notified when the asset reaches the level you want.
• Log your trades: why you entered and how it turned out.

Step 6: learn and keep improving

No one masters the market in a day, or in a week. And that's fine. To keep improving steadily:

• Practice every day on the demo account;
• Study one topic at a time (trend, indicators, support and resistance);
• Review every trade: what worked, what didn't and why;
• Read the articles on the Astron blog.

Final thoughts

By now you know how to create an account, get to know the platform, choose an asset, place your first trade and manage risk. Before you start, keep these tips in mind:

• Have a strategy: even something simple, like following the trend, beats random clicks.
• Control your emotions: don't rush to recover losses or overdo it after a win.
• Less is more: a few well-thought-out trades are worth more than many made on impulse.
• Test it on the demo: try new strategies without risking real money.
