5. Execute Trade&#x20;

Click the Execute button to confirm your trade, the solver network will pick up the trade and it will be executed on your behalf

6. Confirm in Wallet

Approve the transaction in your Web3 wallet (requires $BERA for gas fees).

7. Trade Live

Your trade is now active and will reflect in your portfolio.

During this period, the position will appear in the pending tab, and only once executed by the solver network your position will fall under "Positions" tab
