Day 20 – What is Slippage? (Hidden Trading Cost)

⚠️ Ever bought a coin but got a different price? That’s slippage.

Slippage happens when your buy or sell order gets executed at a different price than expected.

This usually occurs when:

• The market is moving fast

• Liquidity is low

• Volume is weak

• You place a large market order

Example:

• You try to buy a coin at $1.00

• But your order fills at $1.05

• That extra cost is slippage.

Why slippage matters:

It reduces profit and increases loss without you realizing it.

How to avoid slippage:

• Trade high liquidity coins (BTC, ETH, BNB)

• Use Limit Orders instead of Market Orders

• Avoid trading during major news spikes

Key Takeaway:

👉 Slippage is the difference between expected price and actual execution price.
