# Buy

You can start trading **anytime** and from **any page** in the Blum Trading Bot.

Simply **paste a token address or link**, and the token’s page will open, allowing you to make a trade.\
Alternatively, tap 🟩 **BUY** • 🟥 **SELL** on the main menu.

**If you don’t have a token address or link**, tap **Token Lists** in the main menu.\
There, you’ll find:

✨ **Trending TON Tokens**\
✨ **Special Blum Token Lists**, such as **Bluming Tokens**

You can select any token from these lists to begin trading.

***

**After selecting a token**, you'll be taken to a detailed page with:

* Token information
* Trade configuration options

* And your referral link to **share the token** with your community

***

#### **Choose your order type:**

💰 **Manual Order**\
Buy the token immediately at the **current market price**

⏳ **Limit Order**\
Set a specific price you'd like to buy the token at in the future

***

#### **How to Make a Trade**

1. **Set Slippage Tolerance**\
   This defines the maximum price change you’re willing to accept.\
   For example, a **10% slippage** means your trade will go through as long as the token price doesn’t increase more than 10% during processing.\
   If the price moves beyond your set slippage, the trade will **fail automatically**.

2. **Enter TON Amount**\
   Input the amount of TON you want to use to buy the token.\
   Your current TON balance is displayed for reference.

#### **What Happens After You Tap BUY**

1. **Waiting for confirmation**\
   Blum Trading Bot waits for your transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain.

2. **Processing trade details**\
   Once confirmed, the bot retrieves full trade data.

3. **Trade completion confirmation**\
   The bot confirms the success of your trade and displays the results:
   * TON spent
   * Number of tokens received
   * Updated balance

❗ If the trade fails for any reason (for example: slippage was too low, insufficient TON balance, or a network-related issue), your **TON remains safe and untouched**.
