Today I was so stupid: I wanted to catch a pullback, but I ended up turning a small order into chasing the price. Plain and simple, I didn’t check the order book depth, and with one quick move I set the slippage a bit too high. The moment the trade filled, my heart sank by half. Even more awkward, I placed it in two batches—first I pushed the price up, and then the second batch was basically me taking my own position… The “lone wolf” style of trading is most afraid of this kind of self-indulgent “sense of rhythm.”
Recently, around before and after that mainstream chain upgrade, everyone in the group has been guessing whether the project will move. But I don’t think we should rush to fantasize about migration windfalls—once liquidity thins out, even a little emotion can wear you down. Anyway, what I’m doing now is: go slower, split it into smaller orders, and rather miss out than pay tuition for the lesson. That’s it for now.
