Can't trade between 2 accounts.
I recently created a new account and i'm thinking to sell my items from my general account and to gave the keys that i get to my new account. I have put my authentificator on the new account with the same mobile number and other things. When i tried to trade him to see if it works it said that i can't trade with him. It is a solve to this issue?

Make sure you meet all of these criteria in order to trade: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1047-EDFM-2932&l=english

This account is not limited and it has the mobile auth from 7 days. The new account is limited and i added the auth today. Other things from that list are not meeting in this problem.

There's your answer as to why you can't trade.

Yeah , ur right. Now it says that my new account is not available to trade. I need to wait until the account can trade.

Limited account can't trade. You need to spend $5 on the account to remove the limited status, then you can trade.

They can and can't trade, I've traded with my limited alt. account in the past, both in- and outgoing trades.

There's items that are Non-Tradable by limited users; but that doesn't mean they all are.

OP's issue is likely that they've not had Steam Guard enabled for the 15 days duration on that other account of theirs.

It's kind of a gray area to me too, in all honesty.

I know that if I trade items like trading cards, coupons, backgrounds, gems to my limited account; they get affixed with the Not Tradable -tag on the limited account. (So there's no trading them back to the unlimited account without becoming unlimited on the alt account.)

But simultaneously, I know I can trade Steam Gifts; Team Fortress 2 items from my limited to my unlimited account. (So it seems to affect certain types.)

In all case scenarios though, the trade window should open, whether the items display as tradable in the trading window or not is a whole different matter though.

But back on topic, OP might want to run himself through this:
