Last night I paid my tuition again: looking at that order on the chain, I thought "just a little more," but in a moment of impulse, I widened the slippage, the depth was thin, and the execution price was directly pushed up... To put it simply, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s that I was too hasty with my order timing. Now after reviewing, I realize that slippage isn’t a "safety net," it’s more like shouting loudly at the last moment to grab vegetables at the market— the louder you shout, the easier it is for others to raise the price with the trend; when the depth isn’t enough, the more anxious you are, the more noticeable you become.

Recently, there are always people interpreting ETF fund flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto price movements together, I also watch, but when it comes to actual trading, the liquidity at that moment on the chain is the real deal. In the future, I’ll still be honest and split my orders, wait a bit longer—better to earn less than to treat myself as liquidity just to "catch the train." I can still resist taking a second look at the signature, but I need to continue restraining myself when placing orders.
