Trade a token
Every token has one page: a chart, its latest trades, its details and links, and the desk, the panel where you buy and sell. A token launched on comfy also has a fees tab.
The chart shows candles or a line, from 1m to 1w. Longer frames appear as the token ages, and All is on the line only. It opens on a frame that holds the token's last trade, unless you picked a frame for that token before.
The trades list shows the latest trades, not a full history.
A new token trades once its trading opens. Its creator chooses when: right after the launch, or a later time. Until then, the token's page shows when trading opens and how long is left, and the desk shows the time left on its button.
The quote#
Before you confirm, the desk shows:
- you receive (estimated): what the trade should return.
- minimum received: the least you accept, set by your slippage.
- trading fee: each charge that applies. See Fees.
Network gas is separate. Your wallet shows it.
The first time you sell a token, your wallet asks you to approve it once. Each sell then asks you to sign for its exact amount, and the signature goes out with the trade.
The desk waits for your wallet while the trade can still fill. A phone wallet over WalletConnect ends a request after five minutes on its own.
If a quote expires while your wallet is still asking, cancel the request in your wallet and refresh the quote. Confirming an expired quote can still cost gas.
One sell of a token runs at a time in your browser, across tabs. Finish it before you start another.
Slippage#
The price can move between your quote and the moment your trade confirms. Slippage is how far you let it move. If the price moves further, the trade fails and you keep your funds, apart from gas.
Pick a preset or set your own. The desk warns you when your slippage is very high or very low, and refuses a custom value above its ceiling.
