# What does Cross-mirror Trading Prevention do?

Cross mirror trade prevention applies to both buys and sells and behaves exactly as follows.

When enabled, only the mirror that caused the first buy of a token can trade that token until the position is closed.

### Examples:

We are mirroring 2 wallets, **Wallet A** and **Wallet B**. 

**Scenario 1:** \
Wallet A has cross-mirror prevention **Enabled**, Wallet B has it **Disabled**.

**Wallet A** buys the token first:

* Odin copies the buy because Wallet A initiated the trade, and Cross-Mirror Trading Prevention is **enabled** for Wallet A.

**Wallet B** buys the same token later:

* Odin copies this as well, because Cross-Mirror Trading Prevention is **disabled** for Wallet B.

**Scenario 2:**\
Wallet A has cross-mirror prevention **Enabled**, Wallet B has it **Disabled**.

**Wallet B** buys the token first:

* Odin **copies** the buy from Wallet B, as it has no restrictions.

**Wallet A** tries to buy the same token:

* Odin **does not copy** this trade, since Cross-Mirror Trading Prevention is **enabled** for Wallet A.

**Scenario 3:**\
Wallet A has cross-mirror prevention **Enabled**, Wallet B has it **Enabled**.

**Wallet A** buys the token first:

* Odin **copies** the buy from Wallet A, as it is the first mirror to trade it.

**Wallet B** tries to buy the same token:

* Odin **does not copy** this trade, since Cross-Mirror Trading Prevention is **enabled** for both Wallet A and Wallet B.
