If you want to trade, leave the steam guard enabled at all times. Turning it off/on triggers a waiting period.

The steam mobile authenticator allows you trade instantly. Otherwise, you're stuck using the slower email method for all trades.

There's a waiting period for using the mobile method at first, so enable it now (while the other restriction is running) to save time.

Steam just told you that you need to have Steam Guard on for 15 days to trade. The message does not hold a hidden meaning or anything. It's stating a fact.

Wait 15 days and you'll be able to trade.

Disabling SG will cause the 15 days wait to reset.

Keep it enabled.

Disabling steam guard for any reason is possible the worst idea, you should keep it enabled at all times.

Yes, considering that you do NOT disable it.

I would advise against bypassing the 2 in 2FA.

I would never advise the usage of any SDA.

The main reason is because there are forked malware from official sources and then distributed.

These are usually to steal your account details.

However, Jessecar's SDA seems fine - but still, i'll never use it.
