# First trade

export const Embed = ({path, height = 400}) => {
  const isDev = typeof window !== "undefined" && (window.location.hostname === "localhost" || (/^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/).test(window.location.hostname));
  const baseUrl = isDev ? `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.hostname}:3000` : "https://sprd.app";
  return <iframe src={`${baseUrl}/embed/${path}`} width="100%" height={height} style={{

};

## 1. Create your account

Sign up at [sprd.app](https://sprd.app) with your email and verify it.

## 2. Find a spread

Open the [**Discover**](https://sprd.app/discover) page. It shows every price difference across all products and marketplaces, sorted by size.

<Embed path="discover" height={560} />

Green numbers in the Spread column mean you can buy for less than someone else is willing to pay. Click any row to go to that product.

## 3. Check the orderbook

Clicking a row takes you to the [**Markets**](https://sprd.app/markets) page for that product. The orderbook shows every bid and ask across all platforms.

<Embed path="orderbook-expanded" height={420} />

* **Green (bids)** are what buyers are paying
* **Red (asks)** are what sellers are listing at

Click any row to expand it and see which marketplaces are at that price, the seller's trust level, and a direct link to the listing. The shield and check icons indicate [seller verification and trust](/evaluating-deals).

<Tip>
  Turn on **After fees** before evaluating any spread. A \$20 spread can become \$5 after platform fees.
</Tip>

## 4. Act on it

Click one of the expanded quotes. For example, the eBay listing. The trade panel activates with the price, marketplace, and fee breakdown pre-filled.

<Embed path="trade-panel" height={600} />

Hit **Buy on eBay** to be redirected to the listing. Buy it for \$152, sell on StockX at the \$195 bid. The spread already accounts for platform fees, so that \$43 is close to your real profit.

That's it. You found a spread on Discover, verified it on the orderbook, and bought through the marketplace. Once you sell, log both trades in [**Portfolio**](/portfolio) to track your P\&L.
