# Trading

We have a brief video guide covering standard market and limit order trading [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxTplL3VncY) and a video covering professional order types [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFSOCJyq_VE\&t=0s).

### Step 1

Connect a wallet to the platform ([click here for a walkthrough on making a wallet](/iclighthouse/products/icdex/guides/create-a-wallet.md)). In this example we use Plug but you can use any of the supported methods.

### Step 3 <a href="#step-3" id="step-3"></a>

Determine your desired order type ([click here for a detailed overview of order types](/iclighthouse/products/icdex/how-does-icdex-work/what-are-the-four-primary-ordering-modes.md)) and place your order. Below is a demonstration of placing a "Buy" limit order but the process of placing an order is fundamentally the same between different order types.
