📚 Crypto 101: What is Slippage (and why it costs you money)?

You buy a coin… but end up paying more than expected.
That’s called slippage.

📊 Slippage = Difference between expected price and executed price.

🔍 Why does it happen?
• Low liquidity
• High volatility
• Large order sizes

💡 Example:
You try to buy at $1.00
Order executes at $1.05 → hidden cost

⚠️ Why it matters:
Slippage can silently reduce your profits — especially in altcoins.

🧠 How to reduce it?
• Trade in high liquidity pairs
• Avoid large market orders
• Use limit orders when possible

📌 Key takeaway:
Fees are visible.
Slippage is hidden.
