Last night after yoga, my hands itched, and when I saw a pull-up, I thought "just a little bit," but as soon as I entered the market, I was educated by slippage... The listed price looked quite reasonable, but I ended up breaking several trades, the depth wasn't enough + I was in a hurry, which basically pushed me to jump in myself.

In the past, I would blame the market conditions, but after reviewing, I realize I was just too reckless with my order timing: place orders in batches more slowly, first check if the order book is thick, and don't rush in at the emotional high point.

And recently, everyone has been complaining about validator income, MEV, unfair ordering—I can understand that, especially during high volatility, it feels like you're always half a beat late. But honestly, for small retail traders like me, what I can do is to stick to "don't chase" in my operations: better to miss out than to make an impulsive trade that causes a sleepless night... For now, I’ll just observe and not trade today.
