# How to trade

## How to use SageBet orderbooks

1. SageBet is built on **Arbitrum** so you'll need to make sure your wallet can connect to the right network. 
   1. Here is an example for Metamask: <https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/4415758358299-Network-profile-Arbitrum>
2. Then you'll need to make sure you have **USDC**, as all markets are currently traded and settled with **USDC**. If you don't have any USDC, you can swap for some on [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap), [1inch](https://app.1inch.io/#/42161/simple/swap/ETH/USDC), [Paraswap](https://app.paraswap.io/), or any other DEX of your choice.
3. Then you can browse markets and choose one you'd like to explore and trade on:

4. Once you have chosen a market and connected your wallet, you can use the betting widget on the right to place market and limit orders. Please see [Orderbook Basics](/sagebet-documentation/sagebet/market-and-trading-basics/orderbook-basics.md)for more details. And if you have more questions, come ask us via the links in [Community/Social](/sagebet-documentation/links/community-social.md).&#x20;

5. If you place a Limit order, you can see it at the bottom of the corresponding market page, via the **Orders** tab. And if you have a filled position (i.e. you have bought shares for an outcome), these can also be seen on the **Positions** tab.\
   \
   Unfilled Limit orders can be cancelled at any time either from the corresponding market page, or from your [Portfolio](/sagebet-documentation/sagebet/portfolio.md)page.&#x20;
