If you have already accepted a trade offer, then you will have to wait 15 days, no matter what you do afterwards!
It would be better if you would activate the mobile authenticator first, wait 7 days, and then trade instantly.

No. It is a binary choice: do you meet all conditions at the exact moment of sending the trade to remove trade hold? If no, then you get the 15-day countdown. Even if you sent the trade offer 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds after you activated the authenticator.

hypothetical question-- If you have a 15 day trade hold and set up mobile authenticator which takes 7 days, will the other 8 days be removed? Or are you better off waiting until your mobile authenticator is set before making a trade
thanks for the responses
