💦Slippage
Slippage defines the maximum price difference you’re willing to accept between the expected price and the actual price when executing a trade.
Why is Slippage Important?
In fast-moving markets — especially when trading newly launched tokens — prices can change very quickly. If your slippage setting is too low, your transaction might fail because the price moved before your order was confirmed.
How Does Slippage Work?
Low Slippage (e.g., 1-5%) Your trade will only execute if the price stays very close to your expected price. This reduces risk of overpaying but increases chances of failed transactions.
High Slippage (e.g., 20-50%) Gives your trade more flexibility to execute despite price changes. This can increase success rate, but may result in paying a higher price.
