Last night, I made a pretty awkward trade. I clearly wanted to make a small move, but the slippage woke me up immediately... To be honest, I was too impatient. As soon as I saw the candlestick move, I jumped into the pool without checking the depth first. The order book was so thin it was like paper, and with my small volume, I could tilt the price just by entering. Then I chased to add more, making the rhythm even messier, and the more I added, the more I lost. Basically, it was a classic case of "hands faster than the brain."

From now on, I plan to: first check if the pool is deep enough, and prefer to split my orders into two or three smaller trades rather than going all in at once; don’t set too wide a slippage, if I miss the opportunity, I miss it—less tuition paid.
By the way, these days social media keeps showing big transfers on the chain, or hot and cold wallets moving on exchanges, claiming "smart money is coming." I also enjoy watching the excitement, but before placing an order, I still need to check the market and the trades—don’t get carried away by the hype.
What I fear most is not missing the opportunity itself, but those few seconds of calm judgment.
