+### Registering Test Dispute Agents
+
+If you ran the `trade-simulation.sh` script in your currently running test harness, dispute agents have
+already been registered in the arbitration node, and you can run any of the commands described in the following
+sections.
+
+If you have not run the `trade-simulation.sh` script against the test harness, you will need to
+manually register dispute agents in the arbitration node before you can initiate a trade.  Copy, paste and run
+the following CLI commands to register a `mediator` and a `refundagent`.  Do not change the commands' port `9997`
+option (the test arbitration node's listening port).
+```
+$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9997 registerdisputeagent --dispute-agent-type=mediator
+    --registration-key=6ac43ea1df2a290c1c8391736aa42e4339c5cb4f110ff0257a13b63211977b7a
