GET FALCON RUNNING — TICK THE BOXES

Never traded before? No problem. Follow the one column that matches your plan. Path A = TradingView (Basic & Elite). Path B = NinjaTrader (Elite only). New term explained in plain English right where you need it.

Path A

TradingView

Basic & Elite · chart → messenger → your account

1. Open your welcome email → click the TradingView invite → make a free TradingView account.
2. On TradingView open an MNQ1! chart → Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts → Falcon AI → set timeframe to 15m or 30m → pick your config (settings are pre-loaded — nothing to tune).
3. Get a prop firm or broker account (a prop firm funds you with their money — Apex, Topstep, Take Profit).
4. Sign up for PickMyTrade (the messenger that places trades for you) → connect your broker/prop inside it → copy its webhook URL (its mailbox address).
5. In TradingView: right-click chart → Add Alert → condition = Falcon AI, second dropdown = Order fills only → paste the webhook URL (Notifications tab) → paste your PickMyTrade alert code in the Message box → Create. (Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan.)
6. Switch everything to SIM / PAPER (practice, fake money) → watch it trade for a few days.
7. Confident? Switch to your real funded account.

Path B

NinjaTrader

Elite only · runs direct, no messenger

1. Download NinjaTrader 8 (free) from ninjatrader.com (a free trading app for your computer).
2. Download the Falcon AI Elite file from Discord #settings-vault (or your welcome email) — enter your Elite email to unlock.
3. In NinjaTrader: Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On → pick the Falcon file → restart NinjaTrader.
4. Connections → log in with your prop firm/broker → bottom-right dot turns GREEN = connected.
5. Turn on real-time data (~$4–12/mo). Apex on Rithmic → add it NinjaTrader-side. Apex on Tradovate → sign the data agreement inside Tradovate.
6. Open an MNQ front-month chart → right-click → Indicators → Falcon AI Visual → enter license email (gold dashboard = you're licensed).
7. Right-click → Strategies → Falcon AI ELITE → enter email → pick session → set account to Sim101 → set Enabled = True → OK.
8. Watch it on Sim101 for a few days → then switch to your funded account.

🦅 Golden rules (both paths)

✓ Always start on practice / sim mode — never go live on day one.

✓ Keep your subscription active — Falcon checks it on start.

✓ Use the front-month MNQ contract (the active one).

✓ Stuck? Ask in Discord #ask-the-team — fast answers.

⚠️ Trading involves real risk of loss. Falcon is a tool, not a guarantee — past results don't promise future ones.
