It is affected by the overall movement of the market. The minimum amount received from a trade is determined by the market price and the user-set slippage limit. When using the USDFI dApp, the market price offered will be based on the slippage limit, with a default setting of 0.50%. Two main factors can contribute to Price Slippage: a) **Liquidity:** Some tokens and token pairs have low liquidity due to low demand, resulting in a high difference between the lowest asking price and the highest bid. This can cause a dramatic change in price when a trade is executed. b) **Price Volatility:** Tokens with high price volatility can experience rapid and unexpected changes in price, which can impact the market for that token. You can adjust your slippage at your own risk using Settings Menu. The Settings Menu provides experienced users with the option to make high slippage trades. High slippage trades may lead to a lower exchange rate when swapping tokens, resulting in lower returns. Despite this, experienced traders may choose to override the default settings as they believe they can achieve a high rate of return from the trade, even with the potential losses. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.usdfi.com/usdfi-amm/understanding-automated-market-makers/how-to-execute-a-token-swap/price-slippage.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
