Last night, I made a bad trade. After reviewing, it wasn't that I misjudged the direction, but that I underestimated slippage and depth. Thinking "it's just this amount," I found the order book was as thin as paper. I placed the order in two parts, and on the second attempt, I directly pushed my price up too high... To put it simply, my order placement was too hasty, I didn't wait for the order book to replenish, nor did I test the market with a small order first.

Now I set a small rule for myself: for pools with poor liquidity, I’d rather wait a little longer, first use small orders to observe the transaction and slippage, then decide whether to continue; if I must eat into the depth, I’ll clearly specify an acceptable slippage upfront, instead of hesitating and getting bitten in parts.

These days, with cross-chain bridge hacks and oracle errors, everyone is "waiting for confirmation." I can understand that; when on-chain uncertainty arises, the depth shrinks instantly. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to get caught out... Let’s see what happens next.
