Understanding the Trade Settings in the Trade Module

Updated over a year ago

Whether you're new to Matcha or have been a regular trader on our website, you may have noticed we have a Trade Settings page in the Trade Module. This article will go over how to enable changes to your Settings and what their functionality entails.


​

Adjusting Trade Settings

To adjust the Trade Settings in the Trade Module, navigate to the top right-hand corner of the widget and click on the gear icon.
​
​

You will now see the various Settings you can adjust. Let's go through each one.


Max Slippage

  • This section allows you to adjust how much slippage you are willing to tolerate in your trade (you can learn more about slippage here).

  • The last field on the right let's you input a custom slippage amount:
    ​

  • By default, Max Slippage is set to 0.5%.


Gas Fees

  • This section allows you to select the price of gas (units are in gwei) to spend on the transaction you are attempting to make. You can select between Normal, Fast, or Urgent.

  • You have this option if you would like to speed up transactions (especially during a time of high activity and congestion on the blockchain network).


Exchanges

  • This section allows you to select specific exchanges from the 50 Decentralized Exchanges we aggregate from (The default is ALL are selected).

  • Click into the Liquidity Sources drop down and you'll see this screen:

  • You can now select from specific Liquidity Sources for your trade.

  • Clicking Deselect Most deselects every Liquidity Source except 0x.


Use Defaults

This button will reset your Trade Settings back to the default settings of:

  • Max Slippage: 0.5%

  • Gas Fees: Fast

  • Liquidity Sources: All available for that Blockchain Network
