🔍 What is Slippage? The invisible enemy of your trades! ⚠️
Imagine this: You want to buy BTC at 64,000.$ – but your trade is executed at 64,300.$ .
💸 300.$ loss – without you having done anything wrong.
That is slippage – and it affects traders every day.
📘 What exactly is slippage?
Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price.
It arises from:
1. 📉 Volatility – rapid price movements
2. 🕒 Market liquidity – low supply/demand
3. 🧠 Order types – Market Orders are particularly susceptible
💡 My learnings & tips:
I have experienced up to 4% slippage with low liquidity altcoins.
Since then, I use:
✅ Limit Orders instead of Market Orders
✅ Set slippage tolerance (e.g., on DEXs like PancakeSwap)
✅ Trading during quiet times – e.g., outside of news events
📊 Especially with DeFi & DEX trades, slippage is a real game changer.
Whoever ignores it loses capital in the long run – without realizing it.
