# Slippage

Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price of the trade due to market volatility and liquidity. To mitigate slippage, users can use limit order, which allows you to set max/min price for a trade.

* Sell/unstake FLP

* Limit order to close/decrease position
