๐ธ Slippage kills your profits โ Here's how to protect yourself as a trader!
Many traders lose money without realizing it. The reason? Slippage. An invisible enemy that strikes in volatile markets โ especially with market orders.
๐ What is slippage?
Slippage occurs when the execution price of your order deviates from the expected price.
โก๏ธ Example: You want to buy BTC at 25,000โฏ$ โ but you get it for 25,080โฏ$.
The difference = slippage. And it adds up quickly.
๐ Why does this happen?
- High volatility (e.g., during news or listings)
- Low liquidity in the order book
- Using market orders instead of limit orders
๐ก๏ธ How to protect yourself:
1. โ No market orders for volatile assets
2. โ Use limit orders with a clear price limit
3. ๐ Check the order book before entry
4. ๐ง For futures: Use "Post Only" & "Reduce Only" options
๐ Extra tip for Binance futures:
Use the "Slippage Tolerance" setting in the trading interface โ especially for grid bots or auto-trading strategies.
