# Get Trading Limits

`GET /v1/limits/trading`

Provides real-time trading limits based on global, user, and asset-specific exposure limits.

Limits:
- The "Max Notional Value" limit is based on the dollar value of outstanding attestations. That is, if a user has a limit of \$1,000,000, and has 30 non-expired, non-filled attestations at a value of \$999,000, they will not be able to request another attestation for \$1000.
- The "Remaining Attestations" limits the number of non-expired, non-executed attestations. For example if the limit is 50, and a user has 50 outstanding attestations, they must wait for one to execute or expire before requesting another.

If the market is closed or paused, the response will indicate that trading is not allowed and provide the reason. For more information on market hours, see [Get Current Market Status](https://docs.ondo.finance/api-reference/status/get-current-market-status).

**Trading Limits Reason Codes**

When trading is not allowed, the response will include a `reason` field which may include one of the following common codes:
- `MARKET_CLOSED`: Market is closed.
- `MARKET_PAUSED`: Market is temporarily paused.
- `ASSET_PAUSED`: Specific asset is paused.
- `ASSET_CLOSED_FOR_SESSION`: The asset is not tradable in this session (e.g., not available overnight; see [Get Market Data](https://docs.ondo.finance/api-reference/assets/get-market-data-for-all-supported-assets))
- `ASSET_LIMITED`: Asset can be traded, but order size is more limited than usual.
