I should imagine any trade deal would be done during the transition period.
Edit Come to think about it what's the point of a transition period if a deal has already been done and agreed?

Because it would take time to sort out the legal framework, institutions, departments and so on to handle what has been agreed. Even if we had an agreement early on it's unlikely all that could be set up before March 2019.
