Step-by-step guide

Getting Started with Ordyn

From zero to your first trade in under 10 minutes. This guide walks you through setting up your wallet, funding your account, and placing your first trade on any supported exchange.

Phase 1

Set Up Your Wallet

1
Create or connect a wallet
After signing up, go to the Profile tab and tap the wallet card. You have two options:
  • Create a new wallet — Sign in with email, Google, or Apple via Web3Auth. Ordyn creates a non-custodial wallet for you automatically.
  • Connect an existing wallet — Use WalletConnect to link MetaMask, Rainbow, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet.
Multi-chain wallet
One seed phrase gives you wallets on every supported chain: EVM (Hyperliquid, GMX), Solana (Drift, Jupiter), and Cosmos (dYdX). All addresses are derived automatically — no extra setup needed.
2
Back up your seed phrase
If you created a new wallet, back up your seed phrase immediately. On the wallet card, tap Back Up and write down the 12 words.

Store them somewhere safe — a physical notebook, not a screenshot. This is the only way to recover your funds if you lose access to your device.
Important
Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Ordyn will never ask for it. Anyone who has these words can access your funds.
Phase 2

Fund Your Account

3
Get crypto into your wallet
Your wallet needs funds before you can trade. On the wallet card, you have two options:
  • Buy with card — Tap Buy to purchase crypto directly with a debit or credit card via our onramp partner.
  • Send from another wallet — Tap Receive to copy your wallet address. Send ETH, USDC, or any token on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, or Polygon.
Recommended
If buying with card, purchase USDC on Arbitrum. This works directly for Hyperliquid. For Drift, you'll need USDC on Solana. For dYdX, USDC is deposited via their web app.
4
Swap to USDC
All supported DEXs use USDC as collateral for trades. If you have ETH or another token, you need to swap it to USDC first.

Go to the DEX tab and tap Swap. Select your token (e.g. ETH) and swap it to USDC. The swap happens on-chain and takes a few seconds.
Note
Keep a small amount of ETH for gas fees (about $1–2 is enough). Ordyn uses Arbitrum where gas is very cheap.
5
Fund Hyperliquid
Now bridge your USDC from your wallet to your trading account. This step varies by exchange:
  • Hyperliquid — Tap Fund Hyperliquid in the DEX tab. USDC bridges from Arbitrum to your HL margin account (~1–2 min).
  • Drift — Deposit USDC on Solana directly through the Drift web app or Ordyn.
  • dYdX — Deposit USDC through the dYdX web app (app.dydx.trade). dYdX runs on its own Cosmos chain.
  • Bitget — Fund your Bitget account directly through the Bitget app or website.
How it works
Your USDC moves from your wallet to the exchange's margin account. You can withdraw it back anytime. For Hyperliquid, Ordyn handles the bridge automatically.
Phase 3

Start Trading

6
Log your first trade
Go to the Log tab. This is where you plan and execute trades:
  • Pick your exchange — Hyperliquid, dYdX, Drift, or Bitget
  • Select a trading pair (e.g. BTC-USD, ETH-USD)
  • Choose your direction — Long if you think price goes up, Short if it goes down
  • Set your entry price, take profit, and stop loss
  • Enter your position size in USD and leverage
Tap Execute & Log Trade. Your journal entry is saved and the order fires on your chosen exchange simultaneously.
Start small
Your first trade should be a small test — $5–10 with low leverage (2–3x). Get comfortable with the flow before sizing up.
7
Set a stop loss
Every trade should have a stop loss. If you didn't set one during trade creation, do it now:

Go to the Open Trades tab, tap your position, and set a Stop Loss price. Ordyn places it as an on-chain trigger order on your exchange — it will execute automatically even if the app is closed.
Risk management
Trading without a stop loss means you can lose your entire margin. Always set one. Ordyn's discipline system will flag trades without stops.
8
Talk to your AI coach
Once you have a few trades logged, head to the Coach tab and ask your AI coach for feedback:
  • "What am I doing wrong?"
  • "Which setups work best for me?"
  • "How can I improve my risk management?"
The coach analyses your full trade history — entries, exits, P&L, patterns, and timing — and gives personalized advice. It gets better the more trades you log.
