Introduction

Getting started

Connect a demo wallet, place a market order, rest a limit order and follow it to a fill.

Everything below happens in the browser. There is no signup, no deposit and no signature — the demo wallet is funded locally so you can exercise the full order lifecycle.

1. Connect a wallet

Use Connect in the header. Two options are offered:

  • Demo wallet — a local account with a USDG balance and a few positions. Recommended, and the only option that can place orders.
  • Browser wallet — if an injected provider is present, its address is read for display only. No transaction, signature or network switch is ever requested.

2. Select a market

Open Markets and pick a row, use the market selector in the terminal header, or press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows and Linux) and type a ticker. The terminal lives at /trade/NVDA, one route per market.

3. Place a market order

  1. Choose the sideBuy pays USDG for the base asset; Sell does the reverse.
  2. Select MARKETThe price field is disabled — a market order accepts whatever the book offers.
  3. Enter a sizeSize is denominated in the base asset. The percentage buttons size the order from your available balance.
  4. Read the summaryAverage price, total, fee and estimated slippage update as you type. A wide spread or a large size against thin depth raises a warning.
  5. SubmitConfirm the ticket. The order fills against the visible book and appears in Order history and Trades.

4. Rest a limit order

  1. Select LIMIT and set a priceBelow the best bid for a buy, or above the best ask for a sell, so the order rests instead of crossing. Mid and the book both fill the price field on click.
  2. Pick a time in forceGTC rests until filled or cancelled. IOC keeps only what fills immediately. FOK requires the whole size at once.
  3. Submit and find it on the bookThe order appears in Open orders, and its size is marked at its level in the book.
  4. Wait for the marketResting orders fill when the simulated market trades through their price. Partial fills are normal.
  5. Cancel if you change your mindCancel in Open orders releases the unfilled collateral immediately.

5. Follow the position

  • Portfolio — balances, position value, average entry and unrealised profit and loss.
  • Orders — open orders, order history and your fills.
  • Activity — a chronological log of placements, fills, cancellations and demo deposits.

Open the terminal and place an order — it takes about a minute.
