# How to Trade Stock Tokens in Mixin Messenger?

Mixin Messenger now supports **Stock Token** trading.
Users can buy or sell stock tokens using assets such as USDT, just like trading cryptocurrencies.

||| ⚠️ **Important:** **Stock tokens are NOT the same as real stocks.**
They are on-chain assets issued by third-party projects or institutions and are typically price-pegged to underlying stocks.
Mixin only provides the trading interface and **does not issue, custody, or endorse any stock tokens**.

## **I. Preparation**

Before you start, please make sure that:

* You have installed the **latest version** of Mixin Messenger
* Your wallet contains assets that can be used for trading (such as USDT)

## **II. Enter the Stock Token Trading Interface**

1. Open **Mixin Messenger**
2. Switch to the **Wallet** tab at the bottom
3. Tap **Trade** to enter the trading page
4. At the top of the page, switch between **Simple Swap** and **Advanced (Limit Orders)** modes

## **IV. Complete the Trade (Buy / Sell)**

2. Enter the amount to trade
3. Review the price and the estimated amount to receive
4. Enter your **PIN** to submit the trade

|| In **Simple Swap** mode, the trade will be executed at the currently available market price.
|| In **Advanced** mode, you can set a specific price and place a limit order, waiting for it to be filled.

## **V. Execution & Liquidity Notes**

The execution of stock token trades depends on their liquidity sources, which may include:

* **Decentralized exchange (DEX) liquidity**
* **Quotes provided by market makers**

**Please note:**

* Prices may vary across different DEXs
* Insufficient liquidity may result in slippage or failure to execute
* If a stock token mainly relies on market makers, orders may fail or be delayed during **stock market closed hours**
* **Limit orders are not guaranteed to be filled** and will only execute when the market price reaches your specified price

## **VI. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**1. Am I buying real stocks or stock tokens?**

You are buying **stock tokens**, not real stocks or securities.
Although their prices are usually pegged to underlying stocks, their structure, issuers, and risks are different.

**2. Does Mixin issue or endorse these stock tokens?**

**No.**
Mixin only provides a trading aggregation and interface. It does not issue, custody, or guarantee the value or redemption of any stock tokens.

**3. What are the risks of stock tokens?**

Including but not limited to:

* Issuer risk (project shutdown, rule changes, etc.)
* Liquidity risk (inability to trade or high slippage)
* Peg deviation risk (price differs from the underlying stock)
* Market closure or market maker suspension

||| Please make sure to follow **announcements and rules published by the stock token issuer**.

**4. Are stock token trades executed in real time?**

**Not necessarily.**

* **Simple mode:** usually executes quickly if liquidity is available
* **Advanced mode:** uses limit orders and only executes when the price conditions are met
* During market closure or low liquidity, trades may not be executed

**5. Can I sell stock tokens?**

Yes.
Selling works the same way as buying—simply reverse the selected trading assets.
