🧠 TRADING CONCEPT: SLIPPAGE
Slippage is the difference between the price you expect when placing an order and the price at which it actually executes.
Why it happens:
• 📉 Low liquidity
• 📊 Large order size
• ⚡ Fast market movement
• 🧾 Market orders crossing multiple price levels
• 🌊 Sudden volatility
QUICK CHECKLIST:
☑️ Check order-book depth
☑️ Compare order size with available liquidity
☑️ Consider a limit order when appropriate
☑️ Review expected vs actual execution price
☑️ Be extra cautious during major market events
Key lesson: A correct market direction does not guarantee efficient execution. Execution quality matters too.
