# Buying & Selling Tokens

Placing a trade on <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark> couldn't be more simple. After connecting a wallet, there are only a few steps to place a trade.

<mark style="color:blue;">**Buy:**</mark>

* Select Buy and how much <mark style="color:blue;">**APE**</mark> you want to swap.&#x20;
* Check how many tokens you are buying.
* &#x20;Confirm the amount and fee in your wallet.
* Token balance is then visible on Ape Express.&#x20;
* Tokens can also be added to your wallet by selecting *<mark style="color:orange;">**"Add To Wallet"**</mark>*

<mark style="color:blue;">**Sell:**</mark>

* Select Sell and select/enter % or amount of tokens you want to sell.&#x20;
* Click trade and confirm the custom spending cap in your wallet.&#x20;
* Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

<mark style="color:blue;">**Slippage**</mark>&#x20;

Traders can adjust slippage to their preferred percentage. By default, slippage is set to <mark style="color:blue;">**0.1%**</mark> but traders may wish to adjust for tokens with high volume to avoid failed transactions. Selecting the settings cog located next to the buy and sell buttons opens the slippage option.
