# Error "Insufficient balance. “side”: “SELL”"

<figure><img src="/files/dm0TpoKVrHquw3C6Zinx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

📍<mark style="color:blue;">**Solution:**</mark> This error means insufficient funds on the exchange. If the error is accompanied by the inscription "SELL" - it means that the bot lacks exactly the asset to sell. In this case, you need to double-check the availability of the asset 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 limit order with 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:**

Buy the asset manually on the exchange (so that the size of the position in the bot and on the exchange coincide);

Click on "Continue".

## 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://hash7-gitbook.gitbook.io/en/faq/api-issues/error-insufficient-balance.-side-sell.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.
