# 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.

**Slippage may occur in the following scenarios**

* Buy/stake FLP
* Sell/unstake FLP
* Market swap
* Market open/increase position
* Market close/decrease position

**However, there is no slippage in**

* Limit order for swap
* Limit order to open/increase position
* Limit order to close/decrease position

**You may adjust the slippage tolerance via Setting:**
