# It's been 24 hours and my trading has not started

If you paid first and then connected your keys, trading starts within 24 hours after keys are connected and not from the payment.

If you connected keys first and paid afterward, trading starts within 24 hours after the payment.

**If your payment is not accepted in the app even though you've made the transfer, trading will not start.** See [this article](https://intercom.help/stoic/en/articles/4933832-my-payment-is-not-accepted-it-s-been-an-hour) to sort out the low fees issue.

After your fees are accepted, trading will start within the next 24 hours!

Stoic makes trades once a day in a specific interval; trading happens once you hit this daily interval. You will receive a push and see your portfolio instead of the DEMO one!

If it's been more than 24 hours, please give us 12 hours just in case we need more time for your onboarding, but if nothing happens after that, do this:

**Check your Binance account; you can always see your trading activity there.** If the trades have already started in Binance, Stoic should form a portfolio in an hour, and the DEMO thing will go away.

If you **don't see trading activity** in Binance 36 hours after setting up, please send a message into the in-app chat, and we will sort everything out and provide an explanation!

If there are activities in Binance, but Stoic's still showcasing you the **DEMO**, please send a message into the in-app chat, and we will swiftly fix this issue for you!
