# Quick tour

> Things to do in your first session.

If you've just signed in, here's a 10-minute path through the things most people use.

## 0. Start on Today

You land on [Today](https://auramarkets.io/today) — your names, fresh writer coverage and calls, smart-money flows, the day's calendar, and the market pulse, all on one page. Most mornings this is the whole visit. → [How to read it](/getting-started/today)

## 1. Open the Macro page

Head to [Macro](https://auramarkets.io/macro). The left rail is **Market Pulse** — a running snapshot of what the market is doing right now, with an AI feed at the bottom. Click any tile to dig in.

## 2. Read today's Daily Recap

In the Macro sidebar, click **Daily Recap**. Read the day's arc, what actually mattered, and the cross-asset verdict. This is the single most useful page if you missed the session.

→ [How to read the recap](/macro/daily-recap)

## 3. Check Indices

Open [Indices](https://auramarkets.io/indices). 25 world indices grouped by region, plus the volatility shelf (VIX, MOVE, SKEW, etc.). Scan for outliers — anything in deep red or green is asking a question. At the very bottom: the [thematic heatmap](/indices/thematic-heatmap) — the whole market as a treemap, by theme or by classic sector.

## 4. Drill into your names

Under **My Stuff** in the nav: [Watchlists](https://auramarkets.io/single-names) for a closer look at individual tickers — lists, heatmaps, and phase-change screens — plus your Portfolio and the Screener. Build a list of what you actually care about; the [Today](https://auramarkets.io/today) page and the morning brief will start watching it for you.

## 5. Connect a portfolio (optional)

Want your own holdings under risk and factor lenses? Go to [Portfolio](https://auramarkets.io/portfolio) and connect via Plaid. Read-only. We never see passwords.

→ [What we can and can't see](/portfolio/connect)

## 6. Browse Research

[Research](https://auramarkets.io/research) is a single feed of Substack articles, X posts, and YouTube videos from a curated list, ingested daily. Sort by recency, filter by ticker, read abstracts before clicking through.

## Stuck on jargon?

Every page has terms (CTA, VRP, QFI, MOVE, SKEW, vol richness). The [Glossary](/concepts/quant-score) explains them all in plain English.
