After confirming the first signature, which is shown as **Step 1**, you need to repeat the same process one more time for **Step 2**.

After completing the second signature, return to the Terminal again.

That’s it. Your account is now ready for trading in Astra Terminal.

Congratulations and welcome to trading with Astra Terminal.
