Last night I played PaperHandsPro again... I wanted to catch a small retracement, but I got educated by slippage. To put it simply, I was itching to look at the candlestick chart, ignoring the depth, and placed a market order to rush in. The execution was like stepping on an empty staircase, climbing up one step at a time. When I looked back, my cost basis was directly raised by "enthusiasm."

What's more embarrassing is the order placement rhythm: I was afraid of missing out, so I impulsively threw in all at once, even though I could have split it into two or three trades, waited for the order book to breathe, and then entered.

After reviewing, I’ve boiled it down to two points: when the depth isn’t enough, don’t pretend to be a big player; it’s better to eat less than get wiped out by slippage. Also, don’t get carried away by the kind of rhetoric that says “ETF capital flow + US stock risk appetite = crypto must go this way.” The more I look, the more I want to gamble; the more I gamble, the more chaotic it gets. I’ll keep practicing to trade less for now… I’m off to work.
