Introduction

This article explains common reasons why Spot orders may fail, behave unexpectedly, or return error messages on Coinlocally.

Common Order Problems and How to Solve Them

1. Insufficient Margin

You may not have enough balance to place the order.

Solution:

• Check your available balance
• Reduce order size
• Deposit more funds

2. Price Protection Limit

Your order price may exceed Coinlocally’s price protection rules.

Solution:

• Adjust your limit price closer to the market price
• Avoid extreme price inputs during volatility

3. Market Volatility

Fast price movements may cause:

1. Unexpected fill prices
2. Partial fills
3. Order rejection

Solution: Use limit orders during high volatility/ Double-check price before confirming

4. Unable to Fill Order

This may happen due to low liquidity or minimum trade amount restrictions.

Solution:

• Increase order size
• Choose a more liquid trading pair
• Use a limit order for better control

Additional notes

• Market orders prioritize speed, not price.
• Limit orders prioritize price, not execution.
• Some assets have strict minimum trade amounts.

Common Issues

• Expecting market orders to always fill fully.
• Using extreme limit prices during volatile periods.
• Forgetting to check available balance before placing orders.
