🔍 The #1 Mistake That’s Wrecking Your Trades (And How to Fix It Fast)

Ever placed a trade… and watched the price slip away like a bar of soap in the shower?

That, my friend, is liquidity playing tricks on you.

Liquidity is the lifeblood of the crypto market. It’s what allows you to enter and exit positions without nasty surprises. When liquidity is high, trades go through fast—at the price you expect. When it’s low? You get slippage, poor fills, or worse… no fill at all.

Let’s break this down:

💡 What is Liquidity?

It’s the ability to buy or sell an asset without affecting its price too much. The tighter the spread (difference between bid and ask), the healthier the liquidity.

📊 Why It Matters:

Low liquidity means you could enter a trade at $1.00, but get filled at $1.05 or worse. In volatile markets, that slippage can drain your PnL real quick.

🔎 How to Evaluate Liquidity:

Check order book depth: Are there enough buyers/sellers close to your desired price?

Look at 24h trading volume

Use liquidity scores on platforms like CoinGecko or CMC

🎯 How to Protect Yourself:

Use limit orders over market orders

Trade during peak volume hours (when global markets overlap)

Stick to major pairs (BTC/ETH vs stablecoins)

Don’t go all in—scale in/out of positions

The pros don’t just chase pumps. They chase liquid exits.

If you’re serious about tightening up your strategy and avoiding rookie errors, mastering liquidity is non-negotiable.
