How to Force Cancel Stuck Pending Transactions
As a trader, there’s nothing more frustrating than a stuck pending transaction. You’ve made a trade, but the transaction is taking forever to process. You’re left wondering if your trade will ever be executed, or if you’ll be stuck in limbo forever. In this article, we’ll explore the world of stuck pending transactions and show you how to force cancel them.
Understanding Stuck Pending Transactions
A stuck pending transaction occurs when a trade is sent to the exchange, but it’s not executed immediately. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including network congestion, insufficient funds, or a mismatch between the trade and the market conditions. When this happens, the transaction is left in a pending state, and you’re left waiting for it to be resolved.
Network Congestion
Network congestion is a major contributor to stuck transactions. When the network is busy, transactions can take longer to process. This is especially true during times of high market volatility. For example, during the 2017 Bitcoin bull run, many exchanges experienced network congestion, resulting in stuck pending transactions.
