Looks like

⚠️ The trap
NEVER mix 'tradire' with 'to trade'. 'Ho tradito' means 'I betrayed/cheated' — a serious accusation. 'To trade' = 'commerciare' or 'scambiare'.
To say "to exchange goods for money or other goods" in Italian:
tradire (to betray); commerciare/fare trading (to trade)
"tradire" in English means:
to betray; to cheat on (a partner); to give away (a secret)
Example
"Ha tradito la sua ragazza con la sua migliore amica."
"He cheated on his girlfriend with her best friend."
