The top ten in the profit ranking may look glamorous, but the actual trading experience is a completely different story.

Let me speak from my own experience. I previously opened a large order of 50 BTC, and when I wanted to close the position, I still had 44 BTC left. The price was around 93,500 at that time. And what happened? The quotes from some leading exchanges had already exceeded 95,600, yet my limit order to close on the exchange simply didn't get filled. The price gap between two platforms had widened to over a thousand basis points, making it impossible to even partially close the position.

Why is this happening? Large positions worth millions of dollars get stuck in the closing process. The system finally showed a slippage of 0.04%—which is a joke given the market environment.

High-volume contract trading is supposed to be about efficiency, but in reality, many platforms still have significant shortcomings in liquidity depth. No matter how impressive the profit figures look, they can't fill the gaps caused by poor execution efficiency. This is the real market experience.

Liquidity depth, when all is said and done, is just another name for the centralized trap. The data looks good, but when it comes time to actually realize it, the truth is exposed— isn't this just a textbook example of incentive distortion?

yo this is the real alpha nobody talks about - execution gaps are where the actual money gets left on the table, not in the charts

A 4% slippage? That's basically outright theft, no wonder big players are fleeing.

Basically, it's all show and no substance. The data looks good, but when it really counts, it drops the ball.

This is ridiculous. Having good-looking data is useless; when it really matters, liquidity is still what counts.

Basically, it's just about the data looking good. Only when large orders actually enter the market do you realize what liquidity illusion really means.

Having impressive data doesn't mean much; when it comes to actual delivery, it's all nonsense. A 0.04% slippage and still claiming to have deep liquidity.

That's why I never trust the exchange's flashy data; it's all surface-level.

That's why I never trust the data from those profit ranking lists; they all sound like scams.
