Just being stupid myself... a small trade turned into a lesson. It looked pretty stable on the chart, so I casually placed a market order, and as soon as the slippage started, I was immediately "eaten" into a chunk, only to realize that the pool's depth was just not enough, and the order book was as thin as paper. To put it plainly, my order timing was also problematic: I was eager to chase that move, didn't split the orders or wait for a pullback, and as a result, the execution price was pulled away. Later, when I reviewed it honestly: first check the depth, set conservative slippage, prefer to be slower, and split into two or three orders—if the execution is off, so be it. Recently, everyone’s been talking about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and such, with the risk assets moving together up and down, making it easier to get caught up... I’ll just keep my hands tight and read the authorization pop-up three times first. You said, “Just open the slippage wider”... I really don’t dare.
