# Trading

The trading panel is located on the right side of the token page. It supports both market and limit orders with full control over slippage, priority fees, and MEV protection.

## Buy / Sell Toggle

At the top of the panel, switch between **Buy** and **Sell** modes.

### Market Buy

In market buy mode, you select how much to spend:

* Choose a currency: ETH, USDC, USDT (or the native token of the current chain)
* Enter a custom amount or use the preset buttons (configured in Settings)
* Click **Buy** to execute immediately at market price

## Limit Orders

Switch to **Limit** mode to set conditional orders:

* **Percentage Slider** -- adjust from -100% to +100% relative to current market cap
* Orders execute automatically when the target is reached
