00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:04.875
You have learned how to explore a market. Now we will follow

00:00:04.875 --> 00:00:08.451
what happens when you choose to buy or sell by hand. The

00:00:08.451 --> 00:00:12.026
goal is to understand the whole process: choose the correct market, review

00:00:12.026 --> 00:00:15.602
an amount, submit once, and check the result. A button click is

00:00:15.602 --> 00:00:19.177
one step in that process. The evidence afterward tells you what actually

00:00:19.177 --> 00:00:19.475
happened.

00:00:19.975 --> 00:00:23.785
In this chapter, manual means that you choose and submit the individual

00:00:23.785 --> 00:00:27.595
action. It does not mean you have turned off every strategy in

00:00:27.595 --> 00:00:31.405
your account. Paper and Live are a separate choice. You can place

00:00:31.405 --> 00:00:35.215
a manual request in a practice context, while the controls for automated

00:00:35.215 --> 00:00:39.025
trading have their own state. Never assume one label answers both questions.

00:00:39.525 --> 00:00:43.915
Begin in the Trading workspace and confirm Paper. We will use an

00:00:43.915 --> 00:00:48.306
example Paper account throughout the demonstration. If you prefer, watch and explain

00:00:48.306 --> 00:00:52.696
each step without placing an order yourself. Paper uses simulated account activity;

00:00:52.696 --> 00:00:57.087
this exercise does not require real funds, a new exchange connection, or

00:00:57.087 --> 00:00:58.550
a move into Live.

00:00:59.050 --> 00:01:03.271
On desktop, open Coin Universe using Show coin universe if the panel

00:01:03.271 --> 00:01:07.492
is hidden. Find the row for the market in the demonstration. Read

00:01:07.492 --> 00:01:11.713
its name and complete pair before selecting Buy. For example, BTC-USD identifies

00:01:11.713 --> 00:01:15.934
Bitcoin priced in U.S. dollars. A familiar coin name alone is not

00:01:15.934 --> 00:01:19.100
enough to confirm that you selected the intended market.

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:23.658
Selecting Buy opens that row's purchase form. This is different from choosing

00:01:23.658 --> 00:01:27.716
a holding to sell. Selling begins with the particular position in Portfolio

00:01:27.716 --> 00:01:31.774
and its Sell action. The market list tells you which market you

00:01:31.774 --> 00:01:35.832
are viewing; the position tells you which holding you are reducing. These

00:01:35.832 --> 00:01:38.875
are related routes, but they start with different information.

00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:43.339
Account context matters on both routes. Before a real request, you would

00:01:43.339 --> 00:01:47.303
need to know which exchange connection is selected and whether order submission

00:01:47.303 --> 00:01:51.267
is available. For our exercise, keep the Paper context visible. In a

00:01:51.267 --> 00:01:55.231
sell dialog, also inspect Owner slash strategy, Account slash connection, and Position

00:01:55.231 --> 00:01:59.195
ID. Two rows can share a coin symbol and still represent different

00:01:59.195 --> 00:01:59.525
positions.

00:02:00.025 --> 00:02:04.139
A missing or disabled action is information. It may reflect the layout,

00:02:04.139 --> 00:02:08.254
access, connection capability, or the state of the holding. Do not change

00:02:08.254 --> 00:02:12.368
accounts or enable Live just to make a button appear. Phone layouts

00:02:12.368 --> 00:02:16.482
can differ from desktop, so follow the desktop demonstration when the same

00:02:16.482 --> 00:02:19.225
market panel is not available on your screen.

00:02:19.725 --> 00:02:23.370
Before moving on, point to three things: the Paper label, the complete

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:27.015
market pair, and the control for the action you intend. Then explain

00:02:27.015 --> 00:02:30.660
whether you are buying from a market row or selling a specific

00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:34.305
holding. Being able to say that clearly is your first checkpoint. You

00:02:34.305 --> 00:02:37.950
should know what you are about to affect before entering any amount.
