What Is Slippage in Crypto? And How to Avoid Losing Money Because of It

💡 Slippage is when the price you expect to pay for a trade is different from the price you actually get.

It might seem like a small detail, but it can seriously impact your profits, especially in fast-moving or low-liquidity markets.

🔍 Why does slippage happen?

Market moves too fast before your trade is executed

Low liquidity → not enough buyers/sellers at your expected price

Large trade size compared to available volume

📉 Example:

You want to buy ETH at $3,000

But by the time your trade executes… it fills at $3,030

That’s $30 lost instantly due to slippage

🛡️ How to protect yourself:

1. Use limit orders instead of market orders

2. Trade when volume is high (not during off hours)

3. Avoid trading low-cap coins with thin order books

📌 Slippage is silent… but costly. Mastering it is a must for every smart trader.
