Last night, I made a pretty stupid trade. Looking back, it wasn't that I had the wrong direction; I was just too impatient: I saw the order book flickering and chased after it, resulting in full slippage, and the depth wasn't enough for my order at all, causing the transaction price to be pushed to an absurd level. To put it simply, the market didn't deceive me; I confused "can be executed" with "can be executed at the price I want."

Later, I looked back and realized my order placement rhythm was also problematic. I could have split the order into two or three smaller parts and slowly placed them, but I insisted on rushing in all at once, like catching the last train or rushing to grab food in line... Not much loss, but it was pretty annoying. Recently, I also heard news about increased taxes or tightening/loosening of compliance in certain regions, which changed the expectations for deposits and withdrawals. As sentiment tightened, the order book became even thinner, and during such times, it's even more important not to impulsively test liquidity. That's it for now; I'll hold back a bit today.
