Slippage Prevention

Slippage occurs when there is a difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade is executed. To minimize slippage, consider the following strategies:

• Trade During High Liquidity Periods: Engaging in trades when the market has high liquidity ensures better price stability.
