These days, whenever the market depth is thin, I start to shake hands. It's not that I'm timid; after liquidity dries up, you think you're bottom fishing, but you're actually working for slippage... Last time I impulsively added to my position, and the execution price was ridiculously far from my psychological price, and looking back, it felt like a slap from fate. To put it simply, in these situations, the priority is to survive: open smaller positions, don't chase aggressively, better to miss out than to get wiped out. Only by staying alive can there be a next time.
By the way, I see everyone talking excitedly about modularization and the narrative of the Data Availability layer, developers are so excited like it's New Year, while users (like me) are confused: what does this have to do with my slippage order... Forget it, better to withdraw my hands first, wait patiently for liquidity to recover. I'm going to get to work.
