### Increasing Slippage to SWAP

Some tokens may have a 'Reflect' element to them. This simply means there is a type of Transaction Tax when trading those tokens. That is part of the Token design and not a feature of the Trader Joe platform.

Reflects on a Token typically range between 5% to 20%. Some even higher.

To Swap these Tokens, you need to increase your slippage, do this by clicking this button.
