# Error bybit:"Insufficient balance"
📍**Solution:** This error is related to the Bybit exchange and means that you do not have enough funds to either buy or sell the asset. First, you need to make sure that you have funds in USDT on the exchange to buy. It is recommended to double-check the amount of positions in your grid and make sure that the funds for trading are exactly in the Unified Trading Account. If you are sure that you have sufficient funds to buy, but the error still occurs, it is likely that you do not have enough asset to sell.
In this case, you need to check the amount of asset in the bot and on the exchange. If there is less asset on the exchange than in the bot, you need to:
**Option 1:**
1. Put the strategy on pause;
2. Sell the rest of the asset on the exchange on the spot. You can do it by a market, or by a limit order at the price recommended by the bot;
3. Delete or reset the strategy in the bot;
4. Re-create the strategy if you deleted it.
**Option 2:**
1. Buy the asset manually on the exchange (so that the position amount in the bot and on the exchange coincide);
2. Click on "Continue".

`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.
