#Liquidity101
Liquidity is the lifeblood of smooth trading. It refers to how quickly and easily an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price.
🔍 Why it matters:
High liquidity = faster execution + tighter spreads
Low liquidity = slippage, bad fills, and sometimes no fills at all
💡 How I evaluate liquidity:
I always check the order book depth
I look at 24h trading volume
I avoid large positions in low-cap altcoins unless I’m okay with extra risk
⚙️ Strategies to reduce slippage:
Use limit orders, especially in volatile markets
Scale in/out of large positions instead of going all in at once
Trade during high-volume hours for better fills
