## Your First Trade

<Warning>
  **Direct download only.** The extension is not yet available on browser extension stores. Only download extensions from sources you trust.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Extension">
    Download the extension for your browser:

    * **Chrome**: [Download chrome.zip](https://cdn.shuriken.trade/extensions/main/chrome.zip)
    * **Firefox**: [Download firefox.zip](https://cdn.shuriken.trade/extensions/main/firefox.zip)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the Extension">
    **Chrome:**

    1. Unzip the downloaded file
    2. Go to `chrome://extensions/`
    3. Enable "Developer mode" (top right)
    4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the unzipped folder

    **Firefox:**

    1. Go to `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox`
    2. Click "Load Temporary Add-on"
    3. Select the downloaded zip file

    After installation, a new tab opens to the Shuriken documentation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pin to Toolbar">
    Click the puzzle icon in your browser toolbar and pin the Shuriken extension for quick access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log In">
    Click the Shuriken extension icon to open the popup. Click **Login with Webapp** — a new tab opens to the Shuriken Terminal.

    * If you're already logged in, the extension activates immediately
    * If not, log in to your Shuriken account in the new tab

    Once authenticated, the extension shows the Quick Buy/Sell Settings dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Visit a Token Page">
    Navigate to any token page on [Axiom](https://axiom.trade), [Dexscreener](https://dexscreener.com), [Padre](https://padre.trade), or [GMGN](https://gmgn.ai). The trading modal appears automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execute Your First Trade">
    In the trading modal:

    1. Select your gas preset (Auto, P1, or P2)
    2. Click a preset buy amount (e.g., 0.5 SOL)
    3. The trade executes immediately — a toast notification confirms submission

    <Check>
      Your new position appears in the positions header at the top of the page.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Login is required for all features. The extension gates all functionality behind authentication.
</Warning>

## Session Management

Your extension session is independent from the web platform:

* Logging out of the Terminal does **not** log you out of the extension
* Logging out of the extension does **not** log you out of the Terminal
* Your extension session persists indefinitely until you explicitly sign out
