🌊 What liquidity actually means for your fills.
Liquidity is how many buyers and sellers are waiting at each price right now.
❓ Why it matters: the $67,240 on your screen is what the last person paid. Not what you'll pay.
Lots of orders nearby? You get almost exactly that price.
Few orders nearby? Your order uses them up and fills worse than you saw. That gap is slippage.
❗️Thin markets are predictable: weekends, small coins, right after big news.
💰 Which is why a good strategy waits instead of forcing a trade.
A bad fill costs more than patience does.
