Getting Started With Cipher and Obsidian
A new Obsidian member becomes productive fastest by following a deliberate order: connect the key, learn the levels, then build the daily process around both.
What should a new member do first?
A new member should connect a broker key, confirm the Cipher Strike Matrix loads correctly, then spend the first week observing levels without trading those levels. Watching a level hold or fail teaches far more than reading about the same level ever will.
How long does learning the positioning workflow take?
Most Obsidian members read levels confidently within two to three weeks of daily observation. Building the discipline to wait for confirmation at those levels takes considerably longer, and that discipline is where the Obsidian desk provides the most value to a new member.
What does a normal Obsidian trading day look like?
A normal day starts with the overnight positioning change in Night Vision, marks the session levels from the Strike Matrix, waits for the Flash scanner to surface a setup at one of those marked levels, then records the outcome in the trading journal afterwards.
