# Slippage Settings

<details>

<summary>What is Slippage?</summary>

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it actually executes. A higher slippage percentage increases the chance of execution but may result in a worse price, while a lower percentage reduces risk but could cause the trade to fail.

You can adjust the slippage for buying, selling, and copy trading in their respective menus. If left unchanged, the default preset values from the ["Preset Settings"](/banana-gun-solana/trading/settings/preset-settings.md) menu will be used.

To change the slippage for a specific menu, follow the steps in the table below. Any adjustments made within a menu will also update the preset setting.
