Today I was so dumb it’s ridiculous: if you want to “get the deal done quickly,” you widen the slippage—and it turns out the pool depth isn’t enough at all. I ended up gobbling everything up in one go, and the execution price immediately drifted so much that I started to doubt my own life. Plainly speaking, it wasn’t the market trap me—it was that my order timing was too rushed, and I also treated myself like a big player. Later, when I reviewed what happened, I found that splitting it into several trades, waiting a bit, and not forcing it during those low-liquidity time points is actually more stable.
Also, let me vent a bit: recently, around the time of that main public chain upgrade/maintenance, people in the group have been guessing again about who is going to migrate. I just want to say this: the one thing that’s never lacking on-chain is emotions, and the one thing that’s most lacking is depth. Don’t just stare at “whether they’ll move”—first check whether there are buyers for the pool you’re planning to switch to, and whether the slippage can hold up. Next time I get itchy and start randomly messing with parameters… I’ll call myself out first.
