# Pump.fun transactions failing due to slippage

An incorrect slippage setting is a common reason why Pump.fun trades don’t get copied.

We can confirm if our transaction failed due to slippage % by using tools like Solscan, where viewing the transaction signature reveals if slippage was the cause.

1. Go to [**solscan.io**](https://solscan.io) and search for your wallet.
2. Look for the failed transaction that occurred at the time of the trade. (*has a red sign next to it*)

3. Open the transaction and you will see one of the following errors: \
   \&#xNAN;***"Program Error: "Instruction #4 Failed - custom program error: slippage: Too much SOL required to buy the given amount of tokens"***\
   \
   \&#xNAN;*or*\
   \
   ***"Program Error: "Instruction #4 Failed - custom program error: 6042 | Slippage: Would buy less tokens than expected min\_tokens\_out"***

**Solution:** If you are willing to accept a higher price difference and would like to catch these trades regardless, increase the Pump.fun slippage %.

If you are uncertain how much should you increase the slippage %, you can follow these steps:

## 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/7.-most-common-issues-with-odinbot-not-mirroring/pump.fun-transactions-failing-due-to-slippage.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.
