# Trading

Every coin on STABLEPAD trades against its network stablecoin through a locked Uniswap v3 pool. Trades settle on chain instantly, and because the pair is a stablecoin, the price and market cap you see are already in dollars.

## Opening a coin

Click any coin on the Home board, the trending row, or the leaderboard. The coin page shows a live candlestick chart on the left and a trade panel on the right.

## The chart

The chart is a full candlestick chart built from on chain trades, updating in real time as swaps land. You can switch timeframes such as one minute, one hour, and one day, pan and zoom across history, toggle between candlesticks and a line view, and add a moving average. A volume histogram sits below the price so you can read activity at a glance.

## Buying and selling

Enter an amount in the trade panel and confirm in your wallet.

Buy, you spend the pair token, USDT0 on Stable, USDG on Robinhood, USDC on Arc, USDT on Ethereum, or USD1 on BNB Chain, and receive the coin.

Sell, you send the coin back to the pool and receive the pair token.

Slippage and price impact follow the standard Uniswap v3 curve for that pool. Larger orders move the price more, exactly as they would on any on chain market.

## Fees on a trade

Each swap pays the pool a one percent fee. That fee does not disappear, it accrues to the locked position and is later collected. On a standard coin the creator collects the full fee. On a gift coin the platform keeps a share. The Fees page explains who earns what.

## Market cap and price

Because coins pair against a stablecoin, market cap is simply the coin price multiplied by supply, expressed in dollars. There is no need to convert through a volatile gas token, which is why the numbers on the board are directly comparable across coins.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stablepad.app/using-stablepad/trading.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
