Once your account is funded, you’re ready to place your first trade. There are two things to do, both quick: enable trading once, then submit an order.

​
Enable trading

Before your first order, trading needs to be enabled on your account. The flow depends on how you signed in:
  • Self-custody wallet: you’ll sign a one-time message to enable trading. The authorization persists until the session ends.
  • Social login via Privy: this happens automatically as part of your sign-in. You can start trading immediately.
In both cases, the result is a single-signature trading experience similar to a centralized exchange, with funds staying non-custodial and on-chain. You don’t need to sign each individual order.

​
Submit an order

With trading enabled:
  1. Open the market you want to trade.
  2. Pick the outcome you want to trade.
  3. Choose between a limit order (you set the price) or a market order (you take the best available price).
  4. Enter the size of your position.
  5. Review the order details and confirm.
Your order is submitted instantly. If it can fill at the current book, it fills immediately and the position appears in your portfolio. If not, it rests on the book until it fills or until you cancel it.

​
What happens next

Once you have an open position, you can hold it until the market resolves or close it earlier by selling at the current market price. See Closing a position for both paths, or the Trading guide for deeper coverage of order types, the order book, and position management.
