Slippage
The gap between the price you expected and the price you got.
Prices move between the moment you press buy and the moment the trade finishes. Slippage is how much worse you accept. With low liquidity, slippage is higher.
Why it matters
A very high slippage setting lets your trade go through at a bad price. Keep it as low as the trade allows.
