# Quick start: from landing page to live trading intelligence

> Go from zero to live market intelligence in minutes — explore 63 Pacifica perpetual markets, set price alerts, and connect a wallet to copy top traders.

This guide walks you through opening Pacifica Lens, choosing how you want to use it, and taking your first look at the live market data available across all 63 Pacifica.fi perpetual markets. You can complete the first three steps without a wallet — no sign-up required.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the app">
    Navigate to [pacificalens.xyz](https://www.pacificalens.xyz). The landing page renders an interactive 3D globe built with WebGL — you can drag to rotate it and scroll to zoom. The globe displays location pins dropped by users worldwide, stored in real time.

    Below the globe you'll see two options: **Connect Wallet** and **Continue as Guest**. Guest mode gives you full access to all live market data immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose guest or connect your wallet">
    You have two paths:

    * **Guest mode** — click **Continue as Guest** to go straight to the dashboard. All market data, charts, funding rates, the Risk Manager calculator, and price alerts are available without a wallet. Trade execution, the AI Assistant, and personal portfolio data are not.
    * **Connect wallet** — click **Connect Wallet** and authenticate with Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or a Privy embedded wallet (no browser extension needed). This unlocks trading, copy trading with Agent Keys, the AI Assistant, and your full portfolio view.

    You can switch from guest to connected at any time by clicking **Connect Wallet** in the top navigation bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Market Overview">
    After entering the app, you land on the **Market Overview** page. This is the central hub for live market intelligence across all 63 Pacifica perpetual markets.

    The main table updates every 30 seconds and shows:

    * Live mark price and 24-hour percentage change
    * Funding rate, color-coded by direction (positive = shorts pay longs, negative = longs pay shorts)
    * 24-hour volume and open interest
    * A sparkline mini-chart per row showing 4-hour candles over a 4-day window

    Use the **Favorites**, **Gainers**, and **Losers** quick tabs to filter the table, or click any column header to sort. Click any row to open the **Market Detail Panel** with a full order book, recent trades feed, and an interactive price chart.

    The top stats bar also shows the **Fear & Greed Index**, the **Altcoin Season Index**, and the top 3 gainers and losers across all markets.
  </Step>

  <Step title="(Optional) Set up your first price alert">
    Price alerts work without a wallet. From any market row in the overview table, open the **Market Detail Panel** and look for the alert icon, or navigate to **Portfolio → Price Alerts**.

    Set a trigger price above or below the current mark price for any of the 63 markets. Alerts fire as browser push notifications and persist in your browser's local storage across sessions, so they survive page reloads. You can enable or disable individual alerts without deleting them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="(Optional, wallet required) Configure copy trading">
    Once your wallet is connected, navigate to **AlphaBoard** (the **Copy Trading** tab in the header). The board tracks 7,800+ traders on Pacifica, each scored on an 8-dimension composite from 0–100 covering PnL, consistency, drawdown control, and capital efficiency.

    Star any trader to add them to your **Watching** tab. From there you can open their individual positions manually with your own margin and leverage settings, or enable **Auto Copy Trade** by configuring a Pacifica Agent Key. With auto copy active, PacificaLens polls the trader's positions every 10 seconds and mirrors any new trades on your account automatically.
  </Step>
