# Getting started

**One clean loop in under 10 minutes:** discover → validate → (optional) alert.

You don’t need our stack. You need to know what to click — and what *not* to trust.

## Free vs Pro (honest)

|                                | Free                  | Pro       |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------- | --------- |
| Scanner                        | Yes — **\~60s delay** | **Live**  |
| Filters                        | View; edits Pro-gated | Full      |
| Tracker                        | **3 views / day**     | Unlimited |
| Telegram alerts + personal bot | —                     | Yes       |
| Pro group                      | —                     | Yes       |

Trial is often **3 days** in the hub bot. Plans: **$49 / $129 / $399** (USDT BSC) → [Pro](/voltarb-docs/english/pro.md).

**Referral:** invite traders → **50%** of their Pro payments, lifetime (`/ref` in the hub).

## First 10 minutes

1. Open [**voltarb.com/app**](https://voltarb.com/app) — no signup.
2. Set a **lifetime** floor (e.g. 45s+) and a **volume** floor — kill flash noise.
3. Click one row → [**Opportunity Tracker**](/voltarb-docs/english/opportunity-tracker.md). Read **Net**, not the table’s headline %.
4. Want alerts? [@voltarb\_pro\_bot](https://t.me/voltarb_pro_bot) → trial or `/pro` → `/mykey` → paste on [Account](https://voltarb.com/account).
5. Ready to upgrade? [**voltarb.com/pro**](https://voltarb.com/pro).

## Fear checklist (read once)

* Free is delayed **on purpose** — don’t confuse it with live Pro
* Never size from the scanner row alone — open Tracker
* VoltArb is not a “guaranteed income” bot
* Keep your **VKEY** private (it’s the password to your VoltArb account)

> Trading involves risk of loss. VoltArb analyzes markets; it does not place your exchange orders for you on the public web tools.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://voltarb.gitbook.io/voltarb-docs/english/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
