# Account Setup

Source: https://docs.tradeit.app/discord/account-setup

Three things matter: link Discord, connect a brokerage, then trade.

## Link Discord [#link-discord]

1. In Discord, run `/login`.
2. Open the Trade It link.
3. Sign in if prompted.
4. Click **Continue with Discord**.
5. Go back to Discord.

## Connect A Brokerage [#connect-a-brokerage]

Run:

```text
/connect
```

Choose your brokerage, finish the connection flow, then return to Discord and run:

```text
/accounts
```

to view your connected brokerage accounts and their balance/buying power.

## Manage Account [#manage-account]

Open [**Linked Accounts**](https://tradeit.app/account/linked-accounts) from the Trade It menu to see connected identities and linked providers.

## Disconnect [#disconnect]

Run `/logout` in Discord to open the Linked Accounts page with the Discord disconnect dialog already open.

## Quick Fixes [#quick-fixes]

| Problem | Fix |
| --- | --- |
| Bot says your account is not linked | Run `/login` again and finish the link flow. |
| Discord identity is already linked | Sign into the Trade It account that owns that Discord identity, then disconnect it. |
| No brokerage accounts show up | Run `/connect` and finish a brokerage connection. |

When in doubt, `/help` is the fastest reset button.
