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 EVM chain (Arbitrum, Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Base) — used for Hyperliquid, gTrade, swapping, and bridging. 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. It works directly for Hyperliquid and as collateral for gTrade. Bitget and Bitunix balances live on the centralized exchange — fund those through their own apps.
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 your exchange
Each exchange works a little differently:
  • Hyperliquid — Tap Fund Hyperliquid in the DEX tab. Ordyn bridges any EVM token (Arbitrum, Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Base) into USDC on Arbitrum and deposits it to your HL margin account (~1–3 min).
  • gTrade — No deposit needed. gTrade is non-custodial — just hold USDC, DAI, or WETH in your Ordyn wallet on Arbitrum, Polygon, or Base. The contract pulls collateral when you open a trade.
  • Bitget — Fund through the Bitget app or website. Balance syncs into Ordyn via API keys.
  • Bitunix — Fund through the Bitunix app or website. Balance syncs into Ordyn via API keys.
How it works
For Hyperliquid, Ordyn handles the bridge automatically — keep the app open during the ~2 minute transfer. For gTrade, you never deposit — your wallet is the margin account. For Bitget and Bitunix, deposits happen on their platforms and balances appear in Ordyn once funded.
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, gTrade, Bitget, or Bitunix
  • 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.
