Last night I paid my tuition again... I was thinking of riding a small wave, but when I opened the big slippage, the depth was thin again, and I stubbornly wanted to eat it all at once, the transaction price was directly dragged down by my own "buy high/sell low." To put it plainly, it's not the market trapping me, it's that my order placement was too rushed: when you see the order book is empty, you should split the orders and place them gradually, don't compete with robots for that one second of thrill.
Now a bunch of Layer2s are arguing over TPS, fees, and subsidies, it's quite lively, but when it comes to that one trade in your hands, the lack of depth still makes your mentality crack. Anyway, I’ll set my slippage tighter first, prefer to miss out than be driven by my emotions again. I still believe that going slower can reduce losses a bit.
