## How to Use Commands

### Basic Flow

1. **Type a command** in the Telegram chat with the bot (e.g., `/trade`)
2. **The bot responds** with an interactive menu or prompt
3. **Follow the on-screen buttons** — don't type your response, tap the buttons
4. **Confirm actions** by tapping the confirmation button — nothing executes without explicit confirmation

### Button Navigation

After running a command, the bot displays a keyboard with inline buttons:

* Use **callback buttons** (like "Buy", "Sell", "Settings") to navigate
* Use **back buttons** (like "← Back", "Home") to return to previous menus
* Confirmation dialogs require tapping **Confirm** or **Cancel**

### Getting Help

If you're unsure what to do next:

* Tap **Help** or **Menu** buttons when available
* Send `/help` for a command reference
* Start over with `/start`

***

## Locking and Unlocking

Use `/lock` to disable trading if:

* You're going to be away and want to prevent unauthorized trades
* You suspect someone has access to your account
* You want to pause all automated trading

When locked:

* `/trade`, `/snipe`, `/dca`, `/limits` are disabled
* `/portfolio`, `/wallet`, `/deposit`, `/help` remain functional
* `/unlock` restores full functionality

***

## Referral System

Share your referral link to earn rewards. When someone joins using your link:

* They get a bonus on their first deposit
* You earn a percentage of their trading fees

Send `/referral` to see your link and stats.
