💸 Slippage kills your profits – 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 – especially with market orders.
🔍 What is slippage?
Slippage occurs when the execution price of your order deviates from the expected price.
➡️ Example: You want to buy BTC at 25,000 $ – but you get it for 25,080 $.
The difference = slippage. And it adds up quickly.
📉 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
🛡️ How to protect yourself:
1. ❌ No market orders for volatile assets
2. ✅ Use limit orders with a clear price limit
3. 📊 Check the order book before entry
4. 🧠 For futures: Use "Post Only" & "Reduce Only" options
📈 Extra tip for Binance futures:
Use the "Slippage Tolerance" setting in the trading interface – especially for grid bots or auto-trading strategies.
