Orders, risk, and fees

Lightweight FAQ — deep mechanics stay in trading guides and Swagger.

Why did my market order slip?

Market orders consume liquidity across levels; slippage grows when depth is thin or volatility is high. Check spread and depth before large notionals — see Reading the order book.

What controls liquidation risk?

Position size, leverage, collateral quality, and market moves. Reduce leverage or size before stress, not after.

Where are fees displayed?

In-product previews and panels when placing trades — trust those over static docs if numbers diverge.

Can I cancel stuck orders?

Use in-app cancel flows; if errors persist, verify connectivity and auth — see Errors and rate limits.
