Last night I had another episode, opening positions is really like ordering takeout: quick hands but slow brain. Seeing the funding rate was a bit off, I thought "let's gamble," but as soon as I entered the market, I got slapped in the face by slippage... The depth was as thin as paper, I even split my orders into two attempts, waiting for confirmation I never got, waiting for a pullback I also never saw, and by the time I figured it out, I was already in stop-loss territory. Forget it, I admit defeat.

Looking back, it was actually pretty stupid: that kind of order book disperses as soon as you push in, and I still wanted to use market orders to catch the rhythm, honestly just giving myself reasons to be impulsive. From now on, either place small orders first to test the waters and add after execution, or just avoid it altogether—better to miss out.

By the way, I thought about how recent blockchain games with "inflation + studio" are dragging the economy into a spiral... It's the same in trading—when liquidity dries up, everyone rushes to escape, and in the end, no one can stay respectable. Tonight I’ll hold back a bit and wait until I’m calm.
