#Liquidity101
Liquidity is essential in cryptocurrency trading, as it allows entering and exiting the market without significantly affecting the price.
Before opening a position, I assess liquidity by observing:
✅ Daily trading volume
✅ The size of the spread (difference between buying and selling price)
✅ The historical depth of the order book
To reduce slippage, I use these strategies:
📊 Trade during high activity hours (such as when the U.S. and European markets overlap)
📉 Avoid pairs with low volume or high volatility
⚙️ Use limit orders instead of market orders
