TransStock quickstart
Congratulations, TransStock is installed. In this quickstart, I'll get you on the right track in less than 10 minutes: choose a profile, review your initial data and charts, start the 20 video chapters, and find out where to find tips, workshops, and help. This way, you'll learn effectively, without overwhelm.
1) Choose your starting profile
TransStock uses clear profiles. Each profile (Menu > Dashboard > Profile) displays precisely the buttons and tools you need now; the more advanced the profile, the more visibility becomes available.
- Basic – simple and quiet (recommended to start)
- Theft – fast signals and automatic shortlist
- Pro – more tools, layouts and analysis options
- Expert – full control over tools and studies
The first videos were recorded with Basic. Then I explain in one video how to change the profile; from then on the advanced chapters with Pro/Expert.
2) First checks (1 minute)
- Open a sample list and click on a stock. Do you see the chart? Then the installation is complete.
- Check the update date of the price history. If it's up to date, you're ready for the videos.
- Create one right away backup folder on for profiles/lists (Documents/TransStock/Backups).
Doubt? Reread Install TransStock or check the system requirements.
3) Learning in 20 chapters (short videos)
Learn TransStock step by step with the series "Learn TransStock in 5 minutes" (20 chapters). The first episodes use Basic, then switch to a more advanced profile for the next steps.

- Change profile: one short video shows you how to go from Basic to Pro/Expert.
