Last night, I got caught in a bad trade. Looking back, it’s not that I was wrong about the direction, but I was too impatient. I saw the order book and thought it was “deep enough,” but when I hit market price, the slippage directly ate up a large part of my expected profit. Then I tried to make up for it by chasing, and the rhythm got more and more chaotic. Honestly, depth is for you to observe, not for you to forcefully crash into... Now I’d rather split the orders and place a few limit orders to slowly grind, even if I miss out, I’ll just consider it a lesson learned.

By the way, recently the community has been arguing about privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries. I’m a bit slow on the uptake; everyone seems eager to pick sides, and I’m honestly confused: I don’t really understand what counts as a “safe boundary.” Anyway, these days I care more about not acting too quickly when liquidity suddenly thins out—just watch the ripples first before making a move.
