Start trading

1. You have one login and one wallet address. Trading uses a separate balance for bets, like moving chips to a table. Same you, different pocket.
2. Network words are just different routes for your funds. You do not need to memorize them. Follow Deposit and Withdraw and the buttons on each screen.
3. USDC here means dollar-style stablecoin on-chain. That is enough to read the labels.

1. Put money in: add USDC on Base with Deposit.
2. Place trade: click Buy/Sell. If funds are short, the app shows Confirm Deposit & Trade and performs funding automatically in background.
3. Take money out: use Withdraw (see the Withdraw section below).

• Open the account menu (top right) and connect.
• That same wallet signs deposits and trades.

• On Portfolio or the trade screen, tap Deposit.
• Choose Add USDC so money lands in your TradeMonkey wallet.

• In normal flow, you do not need extra setup steps.
• If your trade balance is enough, your order is submitted immediately.
• If more funds are needed, the app shows a confirmation popup with amount, fees, and ETA, then continues after you confirm.

• The popup explains exactly what will happen before your order is submitted.
• Review the details and tap Confirm Deposit & Trade to continue.
• If your wallet balance is too low, the app asks you to add USDC first using Deposit.

• Open Markets, pick an asset, open Trade.
• Enter size and place order. Minimum trade value is $5.
• If funding is needed, you'll see Confirm Deposit & Trade with balances, required amount, estimated fees, and ETA.
• After confirmation, the app funds in background and submits your order automatically.

• Most perps use USDC. If a market needs USDH, use Swap from Portfolio or the account menu.
• You can skip this for your first trade.

1. Open Withdraw from the account menu or Portfolio.
2. Read the gray box at the top. It says Two different balances, then explains TradeMonkey wallet vs From Trading wallet (HL).

Simplest path for most people:

1. Tap the tab From Trading wallet (HL).
2. The inner title is Cash out from Trading wallet (HL). Enter Recipient and Amount (USDC). Use your own address if the app asks (often the same TradeMonkey 0x).
3. Tap Withdraw. This is not cash to your bank. It sends USDC back to your wallet first. A small fee and a few minutes wait are normal.

Tab: TradeMonkey wallet

• Sends ETH, USDC, or USDT that already sit in your TradeMonkey wallet.
• The small note on this tab says money moves from your TradeMonkey wallet, same 0x you use to deposit.
• This does not move your Trading wallet (HL) credit. It only moves what is in your TradeMonkey wallet.

Tab: From Trading wallet (HL)

• The screen shows Available to withdraw when the app has a number for you.
• Optional at the bottom. There is a text link. Collapsed, the app labels it like Advanced · send USDC to someone else on TradeMonkey (not a bank transfer). Most people never open it. If you open it, the app explains an internal send and offers a second path. Your main job is still Withdraw to your own wallet.

• Transfer now opens the same unified funding flow as Deposit.
• Enter amount once and confirm — the app handles routing and Trading wallet (HL) funding in background.

The popup title is “Swap Stablecoins.” Use it when:

• You need a different token type (USDC, USDH, USDT, USDe), not when USDC is only on the wrong chain (use Move / Deposit first).
• You still have one address. Only the pocket changes (Trading wallet (HL) vs regular wallet balances).

1. USDC and USDH

• This pair runs inside Trading wallet (HL). It uses USDC in Trading wallet (HL), not USDC that only sits in TradeMonkey wallet.
• If spot USDC is low, the app can move USDC into Trading wallet (HL) first, then swap.

2. USDC with USDT or USDe

• This uses Privy + Uniswap. Tokens move as normal on-chain coins in your TradeMonkey wallet.
• Think: swap in your wallet balances, not the Trading wallet (HL) pocket.

If a number looks wrong, check whether funds sit in Trading wallet (HL) or TradeMonkey wallet before you swap again.
