# Trading

> Connect Bybit, Binance, Exness or Lime and trade from the workspace you chart in, with the order form, chart trading, the order book, and the Account widget.

Trading

Trade where you analyze

## Good to know

* **Bybit EU isn't supported.** Accounts registered on `bybit.eu` can't be connected; use a standard Bybit account.
* **Bybit, Binance and Exness run on our own trading stack.** Lime runs in its own widgets, under Lime's rules.
* **Estimated fees are approximate.** The fee in Order Entry is an estimate from exchange data; Bybit charges the final amount.
* **Account figures can lag.** Equity and buying power may take a moment to catch up with the exchange.
* **Portfolio margin mode hides buying power and leverage** for derivatives, because the exchange recalculates them from the whole portfolio.
* **Some contracts need Bybit's Trading Terms.** TradFi Perpetuals such as `XAUUSDT` require a one-time agreement on bybit.com — see [the Bybit FAQ](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/trading/bybit.md#frequently-asked-questions).
