# How to trade tokens

Trading on PolyDEX is very easy compared to most exchanges. You aren't going to be overwhelmed by orderbooks and numbers , and calculations are all handled for you. For advanced users, we will be adding limit orders and support for more granular control.

### Getting set up to trade

Before you can trade, you will need a  wallet. You can learn how to get one [here](https://app.gitbook.com/@cryption-network/s/cryption-networ-1/~/drafts/-Mfep857RnrIVSlitY0W/products/get-started/create-wallet). You will also need to have some Matic / Matic-ERC20 tokens to trade with. You can learn how to get some [here](https://app.gitbook.com/@cryption-network/s/cryption-networ-1/~/drafts/-Mfep857RnrIVSlitY0W/products/get-started/get-matic).
