I just made a stupid mistake again: I wanted to copy a pullback in a niche L2 pool, but I didn’t pay attention to slippage and overestimated the depth, so I quickly placed a market order… The moment it executed, it completely shattered my mindset back to rainy night mode. To be honest, it’s not the market tricking me, it’s that I was too impatient with my order timing: seeing the candlestick move, I wanted to chase, without breaking it into smaller orders to test the waters, nor waiting a few minutes for the pool to breathe.

There was also a little side story. I was looking at on-chain data tools with a label that said “whale buying,” and I got even more hyped up. Turns out, that label updates slowly, almost like I was being led by the rhythm… Anyway, from now on, I’ll just treat these as “weather forecasts,” just look at them, don’t use them as a steering wheel.

First, I’ll revoke the authorization for the related contracts, then upload a screenshot of this trade into my notes, and come back tomorrow more sober.
