Spot the traps · before you lose money learning

Know these traps first

01 / Most common

An order that won't fill

Not a stuck order — it's queue rules. Understand it before you cancel, and don't panic-chase the price into slippage.

 02

Slippage

Why a market order fills at a different price

 03

Order limits

Why min size/amount throws an error

 04

Modify / cancel

How to fix a misclick

 05

Read your average

How avg price / P&L are figured

06 · Leverage / futures risk

It magnifies losses, not your edge — master spot first. We urge you to be cautious.
