A crash is when depth disappears and when everybody wants out at once. Both of those shrink the envelope: one percent of a smaller pool is a smaller number, and the block is crowded.
So the refusals cluster exactly where you least want them. A large position that would have exited in one transaction elsewhere will take several blocks here, and in a fast fall, several blocks is expensive.
The other half of that sentence is also true, and we are putting it directly underneath rather than somewhere quieter: the single fill you did not get would have cost you far more than the blocks you waited, because it would have walked the whole book. Both are real, and which one costs you more depends on how fast the price is moving, which we cannot know in advance and neither can you.
What we can promise is narrow and we will not dress it up: you are never locked in.
The envelope is full again in twelve seconds, every time, with no condition attached.
