# Create, verify, and configure your Mobius account

> Create and verify your Mobius account, choose a subscription plan, and configure your profile settings before building your first strategy.

## Create an account

Go to [joinmobius.com](https://www.joinmobius.com) and click **Get Started**. Enter your email address and choose a password. Mobius sends a verification email to the address you provided.

## Verify your email

Open the verification email from Mobius and click the confirmation link. You'll be redirected to the dashboard automatically. Email verification is required before you can run backtests or deploy bots.

<Warning>
  If you don't see the verification email within a few minutes, check your spam folder. The email is sent from `team@joinmobius.com`.
</Warning>

## Choose a plan

After verifying your email, you can start using the Free plan immediately. Free includes 3 backtests per day, 10 chat messages per day, 2 saved bots, and 1 active deployment.

To upgrade, go to **Settings → Billing** or visit the [pricing page](https://www.joinmobius.com/pricing). See [Plans and pricing](/account/pricing) for a full comparison.

## Configure your profile

Navigate to **Settings** in the left sidebar to update your display name, email address, and password. Profile settings take effect immediately.

## Connect a brokerage (optional)

To enable live trading, connect a brokerage account from **Settings → Broker Connection**. This is optional for paper trading — you can deploy bots and run simulations without connecting a broker. See [Broker connection](/account/broker-connection) for setup instructions.
