š§ #Liquidity101 ā Donāt Let Slippage Drain Your Profits
Liquidity refers to how easily you can buy or sell an asset without impacting its price too much. In high-liquidity markets (like BTC/USDT), orders are filled fast and close to the expected price. But in low-liquidity pairs, you could suffer slippage, poor pricing, or even incomplete orders ā especially during volatility.
š How I evaluate liquidity:
Check the order book depth and spread (tight = good).
Look at 24h volume ā higher volume usually = better liquidity.
On DEXs, I check pool size and token volatility.
š§ My slippage-reduction strategies:
Avoid big market orders in low-liquidity pairs ā I break them into chunks.
Use limit orders instead of market orders to control execution price.
Trade during high-activity hours for tighter spreads.
š” Pro tip: Liquidity isnāt just a numberāitās your real cost of entering or exiting a trade. Master it, and youāll protect your profits better than most.
