# SafeTrade

{% columns %}
{% column width="58.333333333333336%" %}
SafeTrade prevents scams by enforcing a secure, confirm-to-complete trade process between players. Use `/trade <player>` to send a trade request; if it’s accepted, a trade menu opens for both players.

Each player can add Pokémon, inventory items, Cosmetics, ![:money:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1169443768978653185.webp?size=56)**Dollars**, ![:battle\_point:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1250586559015686296.webp?size=56)**Battle Points**, and ![:bit:](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1413690086591041597.webp?size=40)**Bits** to their offer. The exchange only completes after both players click **Confirm**, at which point all listed items are traded simultaneously.

## Breedable HA Restrictions

Trading a **Breedable HA Pokémon** through SafeTrade will trigger a **24-hour** cooldown during which you cannot list, sell, or trade another Breedable HA Pokémon through SafeTrade, [GTS](/features/trading/gts.md), or [ChestShop](/features/trading/chestshops.md).

* Any active Breedable HA listings you have on the GTS will be cancelled and returned when the SafeTrade transaction is completed.
* SafeTrade will not allow you to select Breedable HA Pokémon while the cooldown is active.
* The cooldown is shared across all supported trading methods.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.apexcobblemon.com/features/trading/safetrade.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
