Why your Alpha trades fail — and how to fix them
Been using Alpha for a while but…
• Your sell orders get stuck
• Slippage eats your profit
• Some tokens just don’t move?
You’re not alone. Here’s why it happens — and how to survive it like a pro:
1. Low liquidity = delayed sells
Many Alpha tokens aren’t listed yet. Order books are shallow. You may wait minutes (or hours) for a fill.
→ Use limit orders, not market.
→ Avoid off-peak hours (like UTC night).
2. High slippage = you lose before you sell
Volatility + thin liquidity = price gaps.
→ Check spread before buying.
→ Don’t overtrade low-volume tokens.
3. Execution ≠ instant
Alpha is not CEX-level liquidity. Be smart about size and timing.
Alpha is early-stage. That’s where the risk is — and the reward.
Don’t get rugged by your own impatience.
