# Slippage

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">What is slippage</mark>

**Slippage** is the difference between the price you expect and the price your trade actually executes at.\
It usually happens during **fast market movements** or in **low-liquidity** tokens.

## What does this mean for me?

Setting a higher slippage can help your trade go through, but may result in a worse price.

### <mark style="color:purple;">What slippage should I set?</mark>

For **trending or high-volume tokens**, we recommend **50–80%**.

For **stable or less active tokens**, use a **lower percentage** for more precise execution.

This helps balance between getting filled and avoiding overpaying.
