Recently trading on BSC, I can clearly feel that the liquidity is too poor. Sometimes I want to enter the spot market but have to consider for a long time, fearing that a large order will hit and miss the opportunity. That feeling is really quite torturous.

But on the other hand, if I completely avoid these pitfalls, I might also miss out on opportunities. So the current strategy is to earn alpha returns on-chain to compensate for these trading costs and slippage losses. If I think this way, could the profits also cover the risks brought by poor liquidity?

Are there any brothers who have also encountered similar liquidity issues on BSC? Share your coping methods.

BSC liquidity is really poor, but I think you're overthinking it. How can alpha returns reliably cover slippage? This logic is a bit twisted.

Poor liquidity means playing with small coins; big coins are the real trap, bro.

BSC liquidity stuff, you really have to take a gamble, or you'll just have to watch the opportunity slip away.

I've long given up on spot trading on BSC. Just go for small-cap futures instead; that little liquidity slippage isn't a big deal at all.

Poor liquidity really takes the cake. A few days ago, I also lost out on BSC, with a single order slipping by 8 points, and I was really shaken. But to be honest, instead of stressing over liquidity, it's better to keep an eye on opportunities in smaller tokens. The alpha space is actually bigger, it just depends on whether you're willing to take the risk.

BSC liquidity indeed drags down, but relying on Alpha to compensate for slippage is a bit idealistic... Those who truly make money are relying on information asymmetry, not on anti-slippage.
