A trade does not begin when the transaction confirms. It begins with the price you can actually get. A 2023 study of Uniswap trading costs found that for larger swaps, price impact and slippage can account for most of the transaction cost. The quoted price is therefore only the starting point, not the final outcome. That makes execution context more important than simply finding an asset and pressing buy. @tryquantio execution layer is built around that distinction: before a trade reaches the market, it can account for slippage and routing rather than treating the displayed price as the whole decision. This is a subtle difference, but an important one. Two traders can have the same thesis, enter the same asset and still get different outcomes because one paid more to express the thesis. The interesting part of AI-assisted trading may not be predicting the next candle. It may be making the mechanics between “I want this position” and “the market filled it” easier to inspect before the capital is committed. https://t.co/Sxw0VOHKhF https://t.co/rJDKmjdQJd #QuantAIPioneers
