# Documentation routes

Find the instructions you need here. If you are new to ISA Terminal, use the main route instead of reading every section in order.

## First launch

Open [First launch: from setup to your first bot](/en/isa-terminal/pervyi-zapusk-ot-nulya-do-bota.md). It covers account and access, installation, exchange preparation, API keys and connection, risk checks, creating and starting a bot, and checking results and logs.

## Set up an exchange

1. [Exchanges and connections](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya.md).
2. [Demo mode](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya/demo-klyuchi.md) to begin without real money.
3. Prepare [Bybit](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya/api-klyuchi-bybit.md), [BingX](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya/api-klyuchi-bingx.md) or [Hyperliquid](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya/hyperliquid.md), then [add a connection](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya/kak-sozdat-podklyuchenie-k-birzhe.md).
4. Check [Position modes](/en/isa-terminal/birzhi-i-podklyucheniya/one-way-rezhim.md).

## Create your own strategy through MCP

With the terminal installed:

1. [Connect your AI assistant](/en/isa-terminal/own-strategies/mcp.md) and enable **Strategy authorship**.
2. [Describe your trading idea](/en/isa-terminal/own-strategies.md) and ask it to save the strategy.
3. Backtest it and compare revisions using [Your own strategies](/en/isa-terminal/own-strategies.md).
4. Create a bot on the tested version, following the same guide.
