## If you are new

Read these in order:

1. [Get Started Guide](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/start-here/upscalp-get-started)
2. [Lite vs Premium](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/start-here/upscalp-plans-and-access)
3. [Telegram Setup](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/setup/upscalp-telegram-setup)
4. [How to Read Signals](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/start-here/upscalp-how-to-read-signals)
5. [Risk Management](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/start-here/upscalp-risk-and-safety)

Do not start with trade-management pages until you can read entry, stop loss, take-profit levels, and context without guessing.

## If you receive signals but your trades are not working

Read these:

1. [When to Skip a Signal](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-when-to-skip-a-signal)
2. [How UpScalp Helps You Avoid Bad Trades](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-avoid-bad-trades)
3. [Why Context Matters](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-why-context-matters)
4. [Trading Principles](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-trading-principles)

These pages help with discipline, not setup.

## If your issue is after entry

Read these:

1. [Partial Profit and Breakeven](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-partial-profit-and-breakeven)
2. [Risk Management](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/start-here/upscalp-risk-and-safety)
3. [What UpScalp Does and Does Not Automate](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-what-upscalp-does-and-does-not-automate)

Check what UpScalp does before assuming it manages positions for you.

## If something is broken

Use these instead of rereading trading guides:

1. [Signals Not Arriving](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/troubleshooting/upscalp-troubleshooting-no-signals)
2. [Status and Service Updates](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/troubleshooting/upscalp-status-and-service-updates)
3. [Contact Support](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/troubleshooting/upscalp-contact-support)

## If you are checking Private Beta

Start here:

1. [Lite vs Premium](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/start-here/upscalp-plans-and-access)
2. [What UpScalp Does and Does Not Automate](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/trading-principles/upscalp-what-upscalp-does-and-does-not-automate)
3. [Premium Verification](https://upscalp.gitbook.io/upscalp-docs/setup/upscalp-premium-verification)

Private Beta API access is approval-only. Approval does not by itself confirm that automatic trade placement is active. Before relying on automation, confirm that the expected action is included in your approved setup and currently available through official status or support channels. Do not create exchange API keys unless your approved setup specifically tells you to, and never enable withdrawal permissions for any exchange connection.

## When to stop reading and act

Move from reading to setup only when the current guide gives a clear next action. If the next action depends on a missing access state, unclear Telegram route, unverified link, or unsupported API assumption, use the troubleshooting or official-link guide before continuing.
