  When a user doesn't have sufficient funds in their GDAX account to complete a trade, GDAX will reject the order. This means that the trade will not be executed and the user will not incur any fees. It's important to ensure that you have enough funds in your account before placing a trade on GDAX to avoid any issues with insufficient funds.

  GDAX has a built-in mechanism to prevent users from trading with insufficient funds. If you try to place a trade without enough funds in your account, GDAX will display an error message and prevent the trade from being executed. This is to protect users from accidentally placing trades they can't afford and to maintain the integrity of the trading platform.

  Insufficient funds in trading can be frustrating, but GDAX has implemented measures to handle this situation. If you don't have enough funds in your account to complete a trade, GDAX will automatically reject the order. This ensures that trades are only executed when there are sufficient funds available, preventing users from getting into debt or facing other financial issues. It's always a good practice to double-check your account balance before placing any trades on GDAX to avoid any inconvenience caused by insufficient funds.
