<Steps>
  <Step title="Log In">
    Go to [app.shuriken.trade](https://app.shuriken.trade) and sign in with your **Telegram** account.

    Once connected, you'll land on the Alpha tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Your Alpha Sources">
    To see signals from your Telegram groups or Discord servers, you need to add the Shuriken bot.

    <Warning>
      You must be the **owner** of the group or server to add the bot. If you're not an owner, ask your admin to add it for you.
    </Warning>

    <Tip>
      **Discord users** — Make sure your Discord account is linked to the Terminal before adding the bot. Click the **Discord icon** in the top header bar, or go to **Profile > Integrations** to connect it. Without this, your server's feed won't appear.
    </Tip>

    **Telegram**

    <Card title="Add Bot to Telegram Group" href="https://t.me/shuriken_alpha_bot?startgroup=botstart" />

    ```
    https://t.me/shuriken_alpha_bot?startgroup=botstart
    ```

    After adding, send a message mentioning any token in the group, then connect it in the Terminal. [Full guide →](/shuriken-terminal/connect-telegram-bot)

    **Discord**

    <Card title="Add Bot to Discord Server" href="https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1440745309775990794&permissions=8&integration_type=0&scope=bot" />

    ```
    https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1440745309775990794&permissions=8&integration_type=0&scope=bot
    ```

    After inviting, activate the server in the Terminal. [Full guide →](/shuriken-terminal/connect-discord-bot)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore X Stream">
    Don't own a server or waiting for your admin to add the bot? You can still explore the platform.

    **X Stream** gives you a curated feed of crypto Twitter accounts in real-time — no setup required.

    Click the **X (Twitter) icon** in the left sidebar of your Alpha tab to open it. [Learn more →](/shuriken-terminal/x-stream)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Your First Signal">
    Once your sources are connected, you'll start seeing alpha flow in. Signals let you filter this feed to show only what matters to you.
