Important: Atlas is a long-term accumulation system. It is normal to see no immediate trade.
Your proof is the green lights + connection confirmation — not an instant order.
The Atlas Discipline System
Build long-term positions with discipline — not emotion.
Atlas is designed for slow, deliberate accumulation. It rewards consistency, not impulsive action. Fund the account, keep it separate from Pulse, and let the long-horizon system do its job.
Start small
Atlas can begin with a modest balance. Smaller balances may accumulate more slowly — by design.
Add consistently
Many users choose a recurring monthly contribution to build discipline over time.
Let Atlas wait
Atlas does not need to act constantly. It is built for patience, not adrenaline.
How Atlas works: Atlas uses your available exchange balances, exchange minimum order rules, and long-horizon discipline logic. No leverage. No forced sizing. No withdrawals.
Best practice (required mindset)
Use a dedicated Coinbase account or dedicated portfolio for Atlas. Keep it separate from Pulse. Do not mix active trading funds with long-term Atlas accumulation.
Atlas status lights
This is what “ready” looks like even if Atlas has not bought yet.
Connected
Atlas exchange auth is valid and responding.
Plan Active
Your Atlas plan is active and onboarding is complete.
Waiting by Design
No immediate buy is normal in a long-term system.
What happens next
Atlas checks your setup and balance, then waits for the long-term system to do its job. Immediate activity is not required.
What you should NOT do
Do not use your Pulse account/API for Atlas. Keep the two systems separate so accounting and risk stay clean.
Atlas is a discipline system, not a promise of returns. Markets are risky and results vary.
Connection check ≠ trade
When you connect your Atlas API key, YieldCraft performs a signed heartbeat check. This confirms access — it does not place a trade.
Join / Log in to YieldCraft
- Create your YieldCraft login (or sign in)
- After login, come right back here to Atlas Quick Start
- This unlocks your Atlas plan + secure key storage
Comfort check
- If you’re already logged in, this step is complete.
- Atlas and Pulse use one YieldCraft login — not two separate logins.
Subscribe to Atlas
- Choose the Atlas plan before connecting Coinbase
- After checkout, return here to continue
- Atlas is the long-term accumulation system — separate from Pulse
Why subscribe before Coinbase?
- It keeps the onboarding order clean.
- It ensures Atlas is the product you are connecting — not Pulse.
Create or choose a separate Coinbase account / portfolio for Atlas
- Do not use the same active trading account/API you use for Pulse
- Use a dedicated Coinbase account or separate portfolio for Atlas
- Atlas API key must be View + Trade only with withdrawals OFF
Rules-of-thumb
- Pulse account/API and Atlas account/API must stay separate.
- Never enable withdrawals on API keys.
- Keep Atlas simple: fund it, connect it, and let it accumulate.
Create an Atlas Coinbase API key (View + Trade only)
- Open Coinbase API settings from your Atlas account/portfolio
- Create an API key with View + Trade enabled and withdrawals OFF
- Make sure the Trade permission is checked before saving the key
- Copy two values: API key name + private key
- Fund the Atlas account/portfolio before expecting Atlas to operate
CRITICAL: don’t lose the private key
- Coinbase may show the private key one time only.
- Keep Coinbase open until you paste both values into YieldCraft and verify.
- If you closed it, create a NEW API key and paste the new values.
Connect your Atlas keys in YieldCraft
- Open Connect Keys
- Paste the Atlas API key name + private key
- Click Verify & Continue
- Confirm your Coinbase connection turns GREEN in YieldCraft
Comfort check
- Do not close Coinbase until YOUR COINBASE is GREEN in YieldCraft.
- If connection fails, re-copy using Coinbase copy icons.
- Use the Atlas API key here — not the Pulse API key.
Go to Dashboard and confirm Atlas green lights
- Open Dashboard
- Confirm: Signed in + Atlas plan active + YOUR COINBASE green
- No immediate buy is normal — Atlas is a long-term system
Important
- Connection check ≠ trade.
- Atlas does not need to buy instantly to be working correctly.
- Green lights mean Atlas is ready.
