Ever thought about where your most profitable trades actually close? Most traders focus on the entry point, but the real edge lies in execution environment. Whether it's spot trading, futures, or DEX swaps—each venue has its own rhythm. Some moves happen during volatile breakouts when centralized exchanges hit their peak volume. Others quietly unfold on decentralized platforms where you catch early liquidity shifts. The best traders don't chase the same market; they understand where their specific strategy actually thrives. What's your go-to arena—CEX speed, DEX depth, or something in between?

To be honest, I'm just a DEX deep hunter. I'm already tired of the high-frequency chasing of gains on CEX.

NGL, the platform is indeed very poor. I recently experienced several slippage losses on DEX and learned my lesson. Now I stick to CEX, which is stable, but I feel like I've missed out on many opportunities.

To be honest, the entry point can indeed determine half of the outcome, but the exit environment is the real factor that creates the gap.

Those still playing the CEX game are all just newbies, right?

To be honest, the entry points have been played out for a long time, and the real money-makers are studying how to run away.
With too many orders on CEX, it's easier to get squeezed. I now trust the liquidity game on DEX more; the early bird advantage is too obvious.

To be honest, the liquidity on DEXs is simply not enough; we still have to rely on the volume of CEXs.

The liquidity on DEX is really bad this time. I'll just be honest and continue to harvest profits on CEX.

NGL, there are too many liquidity pits on DEXs; we still have to rely on CEXs to make a living.
