# Your first trade

After [installing](/getting-started/installation.md) and registering, follow these steps to place your first trade.

## 1. Generate a wallet

Open the FastTrack popup and click the settings icon. Select **Generate wallet**. FastTrack creates a custodial Solana wallet for you and shows the public key.

You can also import an existing wallet by pasting its private key. See [Wallet custody](/how-it-works/custody.md) for the security model.

## 2. Fund the wallet

Send SOL to the public key shown in the popup. A few minimum requirements:

* Solana network rent: 0.001 SOL minimum balance to keep the wallet active.
* Trading capital: as much SOL as you plan to trade.
* Network fees: \~0.000005 SOL per transaction.

Most users start with 0.1 to 1 SOL.

## 3. Open axiom.trade

Visit [axiom.trade](https://axiom.trade) and navigate to any token page. The FastTrack overlay appears in the corner of the page.

The overlay can be dragged anywhere on the page and resized from the bottom-right corner. Position and size are saved.

## 4. Place a trade

The overlay has six buy buttons and six sell buttons. Each is preconfigured with a SOL amount (buys) or a percentage of your balance (sells). You can customize these amounts in the settings panel.

Click a button. FastTrack signs and submits the transaction on your behalf. The trade lands within a few seconds.

## 5. Track your progress

Open the Rewards tab in the FastTrack popup to see:

* Your current tier and cashback rate
* Lifetime trading volume
* Unclaimed cashback and referral earnings
* Your referral code to share with friends

## Next steps

* Learn about [cashback tiers](/fees-and-rewards/cashback-tiers.md) and how to climb them.
* Share your [referral link](/fees-and-rewards/referrals.md) to start earning on other people's trades.
* Read [how routing works](/how-it-works/routing.md) under the hood.
