If I recall, there is a bug in Monero were your XMR could be traced when you send monero within a short period of time. If I recall one should wait 2 hours or 10 blocks?

There’s a bug in some wallet software (that didn’t update) that cause the decoy selection algorithm not to choose outputs that are exactly 10 blocks old, but only 11, which caused all spends from 10 blocks old outputs to be pretty much all considered the true spend.

But generally the more you wait, the more likely you are to be "secure". You can always try churning (wait between a few hours and a few days).
