# Basics of trading as ADC **Minion advantage**: try to time a trade window when you have a minion advantage over the opponent. Those minions can shield you from skill shots and will do significant damage to the enemy champions, often forcing them to retreat. **Brush control**: walk out of a brush before using a spell or auto-attack. If you attack while in brush, you grant them vision of yourself to the opponent for 4.5 seconds. **Punish your opponent's cooldowns**: when the enemy ADC goes for a last hit or used his damaging abilities, you can easily harass them with an auto-attack while staying safe. **Auto spacing**: if you have a range advantage (*eg* Caitlyn), try to abuse it by keeping the opponent in your range while staying out of theirs. **Parallel trading**: stay parallel with your support when trading; if one of the two enemy laners is not aligned with the other, you have a 2v1 trading opportunity.
