Using the PSStrategyX trading tool is a straightforward process that requires a few key steps:

1. [Generate trading signals:](/tools/setup-instructions/generate-trading-signals.md) You need a signal generator that can provide buy and sell signals for your preferred trading instrument(s). You can use TradingView's indicators or create your own custom indicators using TradingView's Pine programming language.
2. [Connect trading signals to PSStrategyX](/tools/setup-instructions/connect-trading-signals-to-psstrategyx.md): You will use 2 scripts on your chart. One generates buy/sell/exit signals, and the other is the PSStrategyX script executing those signals as trades.&#x20;
3. [Set up AutoView](/tools/setup-instructions/set-up-autoview.md) (optional): If you want to take live trades with this tool you need AutoView to be set up and running in your Google Chrome browser.&#x20;
4. [Set up an exchange account](/tools/setup-instructions/set-up-an-exchange-account.md) (optional): If you want to trade on an exchange, you will need to set up an account with the exchange you plan to use. The Broker Connector supports a range of popular exchanges, including Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, and more.

Once you have generated your trading signals, set up AutoView and set up an exchange account (if desired), you can start using the PSStrategyX trading tool to execute trades automatically based on your trading signals. Head on over to "[How To Use This](/tools/start-here/overview/how-to-use-this.md)?" section for details on using the PSStrategyX tool once you are setup.
