# make your first trade

## make your first trade

start with a small stock-token trade from the trover agent.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### check your setup

make sure your account is connected, the intended wallet is active, and the wallet has the settlement asset plus enough native currency for gas.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### send a complete request

open the trover agent and send:

```
buy $AAPL with 10 USDG
```

include the side, token, and amount in the same message.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### review the result

trover resolves the token, requests available routes, applies current trading controls, and queues the intent. depending on your wallet mode, you may need to confirm or sign before submission.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### track the intent

open **account** to follow the queued request and its execution state. don’t send the same action again only because a transaction is slow or its status is unclear.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### other trade shapes

```
sell half of my $AAPL
sell 25% of $AAPL
sell all $AAPL
rotate all of my $AAPL into $TSLA
hold $AAPL
```

buy requests can use **USDG**, **USD**, **WETH**, or **ETH** wording where supported. an explicit 0x token address can be used for arbitrary erc-20 routing, but always verify the contract yourself.

{% hint style="info" %}
a parsed request is not a promise of execution. missing liquidity, unavailable routes, account controls, provider errors, or risk checks can stop it.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trover.tech/getting-started/make-your-first-trade.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
