How Can a Trader Minimize the Risk of Slippage When Executing a Large Crypto Trade?

Traders can minimize slippage by using limit orders instead of market orders, which ensures execution only at the specified price or better. Breaking a large order into smaller, time-sequenced trades (known as 'iceberging') helps.

Trading during periods of high liquidity and checking the order book depth before execution are also effective strategies.
