### 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.

## 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://fairy-swap.gitbook.io/fairyswap-v2/user-tutorials/swaps-trading/how-to-trade-tokens-guide.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.
