# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.odinbot.io/faqs/6.-frequently-asked-questions/what-does-cross-mirror-trading-prevention-do.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
