Slippage is the difference between the price you expect and the price you actually get. On N1, Max Slippage is the limit you set for how far the price can move while a Market order or an automatic RFQ quote is executing. If the market moves past that limit, the order is not filled at a worse price — it is rejected instead.
Max slippage applies to Market orders, RFQ fills, and Market closes. It does not apply to Limit orders, where your price is the limit.
Change your max slippage
-
Go to app.n1.xyz and open Trade.
-
Select the market and set up your order as usual.
-
In the trade summary, find the Slippage row. It shows the estimated slippage for your order and your current maximum, for example Est: 0.1% / Max: 2%.
-
Select the row to open Max Slippage.
-
Drag the slider to the value you want, then select Done. Select Reset to default to go back to the market default.
Your setting is saved and applies to your future orders across markets until you change or reset it. When you close a position, the close panel shows its own Slippage Tolerance row you can edit the same way.
Range and defaults
- You can set any value from 0% to 15%.
- If you have not set your own value, each market uses its default: 2% on major markets and 8% on the rest.
- The 15% ceiling keeps your protection price inside the limits the protocol accepts, so orders are not rejected for being out of band.
- Setting 0% is allowed and means you accept no slippage at all. Market orders will often fail to fill at that setting.
What to expect
- A tighter limit protects your price but makes fills less likely in fast or thin markets.
- A wider limit makes fills more likely but you may pay a worse price than the estimate.
- If the quoted or estimated price is already beyond your limit, you see "Estimated fill is outside your slippage limit and may not execute." Raise your maximum slippage or reduce your order size.
- Slippage is separate from fees. The trade summary shows fees on their own row.
