If you’ve ever placed a trade and noticed you received less than expected, you’ve experienced slippage. It’s one of the most frustrating parts of crypto trading — especially when markets are moving fast. But what exactly is slippage, and how does 10EX help protect you from it? Let’s break it down.
🌀 What Is Slippage?
Slippage happens when the price you see when placing a trade is different from the price at which your order is actually executed.
Example: You place a buy order for BTC at $30,000. By the time the order fills, the price has jumped to $30,050. That $50 difference = slippage.
This happens because:
- Markets move fast — prices change in milliseconds
- Your order may be large relative to available liquidity
- There may be a delay in order matching or execution
Slippage can be positive (you get a better price) or negative (you get a worse one), but either way — it creates uncertainty and eats into your profits.
📉 Why Slippage Hurts Traders
- ❌ Reduces potential profits
- ❌ Creates unpredictability in high-frequency trading
- ❌ Impacts portfolio tracking and automation strategies
- ❌ Hurts confidence, especially for new users
If you’re an active trader, these small differences add up quickly.
