# Your first trade

> From signal to filled buy in three taps.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a token">
    From Radar, Alpha, or search. Every card and row carries the same quick-buy button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your amount">
    The quick-buy amount sits next to the ⚡ button. Minimum 0.01 SOL. Set it once per surface
    and it sticks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap buy">
    The transaction is built with your active preset, signed in your wallet, and submitted. You
    get the pending state, then the fill toast. The position shows in
    [Portfolio](/portfolio/holdings) immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Selling

Open the token or your Portfolio row. Sell with the percentage pills (25/50/100%) or an exact
amount. Sells route through the best available venue for the pool using the same preset
machinery.

## If something fails

A failed transaction is not a trade. Nothing moved, and nothing is charged beyond the network fee
your wallet showed. The terminal tells you why when it can: slippage exceeded, blockhash expired,
congestion. Details in [Failed transactions](/trading/failed-transactions).
