## Initiating a trade

You can start a trade by going into the Trading tab (the Handshake icon) and pressing the New Trade button. Then you can select if you want trade with a AI Bot or a real player. If you choose the trade with a real player option, you can use a username to send a request, a friend from the Friends List or a user from the Directory (the trading directory not available on Kids Accounts). Also, to trade with real people, you will need a BugID.
