# MARKET_NOT_TRADEABLE

> HTTP 409 — Market not tradeable

**HTTP status:** 409 · **Title:** "Market not tradeable"

## When it fires

The market exists but is in a state that doesn't accept trades — typically `FROZEN` (admin paused trading) or `RESOLVED` (outcome decided, only redemptions allowed).

## Why it happens

* Market reached its `resolve_time` and froze automatically.
* An admin froze the market manually (e.g., pending an oracle dispute).
* The market was resolved between your quote call and your trade call.

## How to fix

* Check the market's current `status` via `GET /v1/markets/:id` before retrying.
* If the market was just resolved, your existing positions are still redeemable (handled automatically by the payout pipeline) — you don't need to do anything.
* For freeze-then-resume scenarios, retry once the market reopens; subscribe to the `market.resumed` webhook (when streaming lands) to know exactly when.
