I just screwed up again... turning a small order into a failed trade. Honestly, I didn't check the pool depth, and I set the slippage too loosely out of habit, so when the price moved, I got completely wiped out. Trying to catch up again was impossible. Looking back, there are really two points: when liquidity is thin, don't swallow it all at once, split the orders more slowly; and don't rush in when everyone is fighting (especially during airdrop season with that "clock-in" style interaction), on-chain congestion + anti-bot measures on the task platform can cause delays, and rushing to confirm just makes it easier to click the wrong button. Anyway, I’ve lowered the default slippage now, even if it means more failures, I don't want to be treated like an ATM... Feeling a bit frustrated, but at least I’ve learned my lesson.
