The exception is if you have been friends with the other party for over a year. Then the trade hold is one day.

What is a trade hold?
A trade hold is a period of time after a trade is accepted by both parties where the items traded are held by Steam before they are delivered. Trade holds last up to 15 days. If you're trading items with a friend, and you've been friends for more than 1 year, the hold is 1 day.
Concerning Steam Guard on your Steam account, yes, that has to be enabled for 15 days.
Steam Guard Not Enabled
We require Steam Guard to be enabled for 15 days to help protect your items and Steam Wallet funds from being misused by someone who may have illicitly obtained your password. If you have not had Steam Guard enabled for 15 days, you will be unable to trade or use the Community Market. Accounts that currently have Steam Guard disabled will be unable to trade and use the Community Market.

Its says I can use the market 9/2/2016, 7:33:24 AM so does this mean I will be able to trade also in this specific time 9/2/2016, 7:33:24 AM ?
If you have had the mobile authenticator enabled for 7 full, uninterrupted days, and the other party you are trying to trade with has also, then you should not have trade holds at all.
If not having Steam Guard enabled on your Steam account was the original cause of you not being able to use the market, then yes, you should be able to trade on that date and that time, if that time is exactly 15 days from the time you disabled Steam Guard then enabled Steam Guard.
You never told us the specifics of why you originally got the 15 day restriction in the first place, so I cannot answer more exactly without knowing that info.
Read the pages linked, please.
Sorry, so I went to Steam Help to reset my mobile phone number because the one I used was disabled by my network provider and I cant use it anymore that's why I want to change it to the number I am using now and they said this
"Message by Support Tech Krittiya on Thu, Aug 18 2016 6:33
We have removed the authenticator from your account.
You will need to re-enable it once more from your device if you would like to use it again. We strongly encourage you to make use of the authenticator to safeguard your account. Please remember to record your recovery code should you enable it again."
so I re-enabled my mobile authenticator Fri, Aug 19 2016 12:10 AM and I thought it would just be 7 days but it seems it would take 15 days and still now I cant trade
So concerning that device (phone), yes, the restriction is 7 days. Once those 7 days has passed since you re-enabled the authenticator, there are no more restrictions for using Steam on new devices/computers.
Are you sure you did not disable it during that time at all ?
Just so we are clear here, you are saying you cannot trade or you cannot use the market at all ?
What is the exact message that you get when you try to use the market ? Don't post short versions of it. Post the entire message if you go to the Steam Market and try to use it. Thanks.
Sorry this was my first time posting here sir, And thankyou for helping me also :)
"The Market is unavailable for the following reason(s):
You have recently reset or enabled Steam Guard, you must wait 15 days after Steam Guard was enabled. More info...
Your account must be protected by Steam Guard for at least 15 days. To remove this restriction...
If nothing further occurs to restrict your access, you'll be able to use The Community Market on 9/2/2016, 7:33:24 AM."
That's the message I get when I open my market
That sounds as if you at some point, also disabled Steam Guard on your Steam account.
Steam Guard Only Recently Enabled
If you have recently enabled Steam Guard on your account, you will be unable to use the Community Market for 15 days since Steam Guard was enabled. Deauthorizing Steam Guard or disabling then enabling Steam Guard will also trigger this restriction.
It says here that
"Status:
Protected by Steam Mobile Authenticator"
So do I need to wait for 9/2/2016, 7:33:24 AM for me to use market and for me to trade as what the market says?
https://store.steampowered.com/account/
then yes, you should be able to use the market on that date and time. The times must be exact. For example, 14 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes don't count, in the case of a 15 day restriction, for example.
It must be that amount of time exactly.
I have a green shield there :) and also 9/2/2016, 9:36 AM GMT+8 in my timezone
yes?
