Price impact
Also written or said as: impact, price impact
How much your own trade moves the price.
In a small pool, a big buy pushes the price up as it fills, so you pay more per token than the price you saw. A 2 SOL buy into a pool holding 20 SOL moves the price far more than the same buy into a pool holding 2,000 SOL. Your slippage setting caps how much of this you will accept.
