HTTP status: 409 · Title: “Trade not awaiting confirmation”

​
When it fires

POST /v1/trades/{id}/confirm was called for a trade whose status is not pending_confirmation.

​
Why it happens

  • The trade was already confirmed (for example confirm was called twice); see also CONFIRMATION_TOKEN_USED.
  • The trade was below your key’s high-value threshold and never needed confirmation.
  • The trade has moved past confirmation into execution or a final state.
  • The confirmation window expired; see CONFIRMATION_EXPIRED.

​
How to fix

  • Check the trade’s current status with GET /v1/trades/{id}. A trade that needs confirmation is pending_confirmation; a create response without a confirmation object never needs confirming.
  • If the trade is completed, there is nothing more to do.
  • If the confirmation window passed, the trade will not execute. Create a new trade and confirm it within the new window.
