I just made a stupid mistake again... I was planning to make a small position swap, but in my rush, I set the slippage too loose, the pool depth was average, and when I clicked confirm, I just felt something was off. The on-chain order was still "queuing," and I kept refreshing/retrying out of impatience, getting more anxious with each attempt. In the end, the execution price was worse than expected, which was purely a lesson for myself.

Looking back, there are really only two points: don't force through when liquidity is thin, split the order into several smaller trades and go slowly; don't treat slippage as "insurance," it’s more like a switch for "how much I’m willing to be slaughtered." By the way, I thought of the recent fuss about NFT royalties—I understand creators wanting to earn more, but when secondary liquidity becomes poor, when you really want to exit, slippage will vote with your feet... Anyway, from now on, I’d rather earn less than risk losing everything, and I’ll tighten up my order pacing and risk boundaries. Don’t click on unfamiliar links, don’t panic and click.
