If the button is orange, you have all the necessary goods to make the trade. If you are in the same guild as the other player, the button will have a hammer and a shield, if not there will only be a hammer. When you find an offer that fits what you are looking for, you can accept it by pressing the button to the right of the offer. If you do not want to scroll through all the pages, there are different types of filters at the top – you can search for the good you desire or are offering, and further limit the offers using the two check boxes by hiding all the offers from non-players, filter for offers from your fellow guild members and/or display only those offers that you are eligible for.

They are sorted based on rates, where the most favorable rates are displayed first. The market is full of offers which you can browse in the “Trading” tab.

You never know when or if your offer will be accepted, so it is a good idea to make sure your offer is fair to increase your chances. Enter the amount of the good you are looking for, and what you are willing to offer in return and then press “Create offer”. In the market window, you will find the “Create offer” tab. Joining a guild will also help you find favorable trades. You can trade at a poor rate with non-player (merchants), or at a much better rate with your fellow players. The trading function allows you to trade goods that you have for goods that you need. While it is possible for you to produce all goods in the game yourself if you unlock the right buildings, it is not very easy or efficient to do so, since this then requires space in your city, time, and deposits. You need all kinds of goods in order to advance in Forge of Empires.
