Wow, I really was so stupid yesterday. I tried to copy a callback result and ended up stepping into a slippage pit. Clearly, the candlestick looked quite stable, but the pool depth was so shallow. I placed a large order all at once, and the transaction price just drifted away. When I looked back, the fees plus slippage were worse than I expected... Honestly, it was just impatience; I didn't keep the rhythm in check.



After reviewing, I feel there are only three things: first, look at the depth but don't just focus on the price; second, don't set the slippage too wide—it's better to split into several smaller trades and go slower; third, if you're really going for it, try a small amount first—don't go all-in right away. Recently, everyone has been talking about staking unlocks, token unlock schedules, and that kind of selling pressure anxiety. I also get influenced, and my hands tend to move faster... But the more these situations happen, the more you should treat placing orders as "lining up to enter," and not force your way in. That's it for now—losing money is just tuition.
