Step-by-Step Guide

Ready to begin? Here is the exact path:

1. Open a Brokerage Account

You need an app/broker to actually buy the stocks. Popular zero-commission brokers for beginners include Robinhood, Webull, Fidelity, or Charles Schwab.

2. Fund Your Account

Link your bank and transfer money you can afford to lose. Start small ($100-$500) while you learn.

3. Paper Trade First

Before using real money, "paper trade" (practice trade) using StoxPilot signals. Write down the entry price and see if it hits the target or stop loss over the next week.

4. Make Your First Real Trade

When a StoxPilot STRONG BUY signal triggers, open your broker app. Search the stock ticker (e.g., AAPL). Enter a "Limit Order" for the entry price. Once filled, immediately set an OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) order with your Target Price and Stop Loss.
