Panic Selling
Problem: New investors sell immediately during market crashes
Why it happens: Fear and emotional pressure
Possible result: Locking in losses and missing recovery
NEVER SELL IN A PANIC
the part everyone ignores is that most traders spend hours looking for better entries and exits while barely paying attention to execution costs
then they compare numbers side by side and realize the exchange took more from them than a bad trade did
o2 is built differently
Understanding execution costs
Every trade has a cost.
Most traders just don’t see all of it.
1. What is the total execution cost
Execution cost isn’t just the fee shown on screen.
It typically comes down to three things:
• Gas → what the network charges
• Trading fees → what the exchange charges
• Spread → the gap between the best buy and sell price
Gas and fees are easy to notice.
Spread is where the cost often hides.
And over time, all three add up.
2. The spread
Spread is the difference between the highest bid and lowest ask in the market right now.
Tight spreads mean you trade closer to fair value.
Wide spreads mean you’re paying more before the market even moves.
That’s why liquidity is important.
Deep orderbooks usually keep spreads tight.
Thin books make trading more expensive.
3. What this looks like in real numbers
At $1M in ETH trading volume:
o2: $118
Lighter: $240 (+103%)
Hyperliquid: $760 (+544%)
Same asset.
But very different execution costs.
4. Why traders care
A trade can be right and still underperform if execution costs are too high.
Experienced traders pay attention to:
• gas
• fees
• spreads
Because having an edge isn’t only about timing the market. It’s also about keeping more of what you earn.
Trade spot with zero gas, low fees and tight spreads.
