# Quick Start

Your download includes 4 files:

* A fresh copy of the template in light theme
* A fresh copy of the template in dark theme
* A demo copy already populated with data
* A setup guide

### Let's get going!

Pick a colour theme and open a fresh copy in Numbers..

### 1.  Set the account type.  

Select your <mark style="color:green;">**Portfolio's Type**</mark> in <mark style="color:green;">**B1**</mark> using the pop-up menu **(Crypto or Stocks)**.&#x20;

### 2. Set your base currency

If you won't be using the US dollar as your primary currency, you can [**change the primary currency**](/1/smol_tracker/changing-the-primary-currency.md) now, or you can change it later.&#x20;

### 3. Enter your first trade

Scroll down to the [**Trade Log**](/1/tracker/accounts.md#trade-log) and enter your first trade! The first 7 columns (the lighter ones) are where you input your trade details. The "**Account**" and "**Fees**" columns are optional. The columns titled "**Realized P\&L**" only display values when you ***sell*** an asset, so you won't see anything here just yet. &#x20;

**That's it!  You're Portfolio Tracker is now set-up and ready to go!**&#x20;

The [**Holdings** ](/1/smol_tracker/holdings.md)table, and the [**Dashboard**](/1/smol_tracker/dashboard.md) have now been automatically updated with live stats for your new asset. These will automatically update each time you add a trade in your Trade Log.  Some of these charts may appear empty at first—they need more data to populate. But here’s an example of what you’ll see soon enough.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Optional:** Your Tracker uses the US Dollar as its default currency. If you would like your P\&L to be tracked in a [secondary currency](/1/smol_tracker/optional-secondary-currency.md) (in addition to the USD), select a currency in the pop-up menu in cell <mark style="color:green;">C1</mark> (where it says "Alt Currency Picker").&#x20;
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.smolcompute.xyz/1/smol_tracker/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
