When a trade fails
A failed trade costs nothing but, sometimes, the network fee. Here’s what the panel’s messages mean.
| Message | What happened | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The price moved past your slippage. | The price moved more than your slippage allows before the trade landed, so it cancelled. | Try again, or raise slippage in settings. |
| The price moved before it landed. Trying once more… | The same, caught early; the trade is re-priced and sent once more for you. | Nothing: wait for the result. |
| Not enough balance for this trade and its fees. | The wallet can’t pay the amount plus the network fee. | Lower the amount, or deposit. Keep some ETH, SOL or BNB for fees. |
| It didn’t land in time and has expired. | The network didn’t include it in time (Solana). Nothing was spent. | Try again. |
| Not confirmed yet. | It may still land, or the network may have dropped it. | Check the transaction link before trying again, so you don’t buy twice. |
| Our route pays well under the coin’s market price here. | The best route reaches a thin pool, not the coin’s main market. | Read the warning; trade anyway only if you accept the price. |
| You may not be able to sell what you buy. | The honeypot check couldn’t sell the coin back. | Don’t buy, unless you’re sure. |
| Trading on {chain} is coming soon. | Trading isn’t open on that chain for you yet. | Trade on another chain. |
| This wallet signs in its own app. | The active wallet is one you signed in with (MetaMask, Phantom…), which can’t trade on the site. | Switch to a fomocopy wallet (W1 and up). |
| Your wallet is being set up. | A new account’s wallets are still being made. | Reload in a moment. |
