Price Protection | Bitsgap 🛡️ Learn how price protection works, prevent slippage, and keep your crypto trading bots executing orders at the best rates 📊
```

Price Protection is a feature that protects manually placed orders from getting executed at bad prices due to price slippage. In a nutshell, this mechanism helps to avoid trades that may lead to significant losses.

The system monitors recent transactions and blocks manual order placement when the sell price is below the buy price. When that happens, the system shows the "Price Protection" error and cancels the order placement to prevent potential losses from the sell transaction.

**Note**  
If your order got canceled due to the Price Protection, adjust its price level and try again.
