Where to find this in the app

  • After sign-in, Chilla opens to the dashboard (`dashboard.html`).
  • The main cards are Not connected yet, Instructions, Flow, and Active Playgrounds.
  • Use the top-right plus button (Add Automation Environment) or the sidebar item Connect Chilla to start environment setup.

What Chilla is

  • Instruction-driven automation infrastructure for structured market participation.
  • A user-configured system: you choose behaviors, playgrounds, comfort levels, and activation.
  • A transparent system: Flow shows what happened, what was passed, and why.
  • Non-custodial: your funds remain in your own connected environment account.

What Chilla is not

  • Not a financial advisor.
  • Not a brokerage.
  • Not a recommendation engine.
  • Not a custody platform.
Plain-language summary: Chilla automates within your instructions. It does not decide what is "best" for you.

First session checklist

  1. Sign in to Chilla. You should land on the dashboard with the Not connected yet status card.
  2. Connect an environment. Open Pick Automation Environment, select Deriv or cTrader, then click Connect environment.
  3. Open instruction setup. In the Instructions card, click Tap to create instructions.
  4. Complete the wizard steps. Follow Behaviours -> Playgrounds -> Comfort -> Confirm -> Activate.
  5. Confirm activation. Finish on the activation screen and verify the success message Chilla is live!
  6. Watch Flow. Use the Flow card to confirm first live events.

Core workflow from setup to live automation

Before activation

You connect an environment, choose behaviours/playgrounds, set comfort, and accept consent. Chilla validates account readiness and instruction scope before activation.

After activation

Chilla automates within your instructions. The activity card moves to connected monitoring states and Flow begins recording ENTRY, EXIT, SKIP, WARN, and LIVE events.

How Chilla fits with Beaverly and M-II

  • Chilla: User-facing experience where you configure instructions and monitor Flow.
  • M-II: Infrastructure layer that handles validation, safety checks, capacity enforcement, and activity output.
  • Beaverly: Platform company providing the automation system. Beaverly does not hold user funds.
