# TRADE_NOT_AWAITING_CONFIRMATION

> HTTP 409 — Trade not awaiting confirmation

**HTTP status:** 409 · **Title:** "Trade not awaiting confirmation"

## When it fires

`POST /v1/trades/:id/confirm` was called for a trade that's not in `pending_confirmation` status.

## Why it happens

* The trade was already confirmed (you'll see this if you accidentally call confirm twice) — see also [`CONFIRMATION_TOKEN_USED`](./CONFIRMATION_TOKEN_USED.md).
* The trade was below your tier's high-value threshold and never required confirmation in the first place.
* The trade has progressed past confirmation into `pending` / `executing` / a terminal state.
* The confirmation window expired and the trade was auto-cancelled — see [`CONFIRMATION_EXPIRED`](./CONFIRMATION_EXPIRED.md).

## How to fix

* Check the trade's current `status` via `GET /v1/trades/:id`. The lifecycle is: `pending_confirmation` → `pending` → `executing` → `completed`/`failed`.
* If the trade is `completed`, there's nothing more to do.
* If the trade is `cancelled`, re-create it and confirm within the new window.
