**What it means:** The token you're trying to trade has much less available liquidity on Sigma than what shows on chart websites.

**Why this happens:** Chart sites show total liquidity across all pools, but Sigma might only support the smaller pools for this token.

**The risk:** If you trade based on the high liquidity you saw elsewhere, you could lose significant money due to price impact.

**What to do:**

* Check the actual available liquidity on Sigma before trading
* Consider reducing your trade size
* Verify liquidity details on trusted sources

**Note:** Enabling Alpha Mode turns off this protection. Only use it if you understand and accept these risks.
