Why are my limit orders not executed?
If the order is not executed when hit the limit price, there could be a few reasons for this
- The taker might make a loss by filling your order. Takers must consider the order size, gas fees, and profit before filling your order. Increasing the trade amount increases the chance of your order being filled
- Lack of liquidity: The token you want to trade does not have enough liquidity to fill your order
- Lack of funds: Before the limit order is executed, you transferred tokens away from your wallet. Resulting in a lack of funds to execute your order.
How many tokens can I trade using Tokenlon limit order?

What does “The balance is occupied by action order” mean?
When placing an order, if it shows "The order balance is occupied", it is because an existing order is being filled and the current token balance is not enough for you to place a new limit order.

- Cancel the active order and then place a new limit order
- Transfer more tokens to your address and you can continue to place a new order
