Just realized I was so stupid: I thought I could take advantage of cheap Gas to top up, but I rushed in at market price all at once, the slippage was too loose, the pool depth wasn't enough, and that one trade directly "educated" me... Luckily I didn't lose much, but that feeling of "it could have been avoided" is even more annoying.
Looking back, there are two points: don't rush, don't be greedy for convenience. Seeing good depth doesn't mean your order size is also okay, especially when there's big volatility, and your orders get pulled as if they were being snatched away; don't force the order placement rhythm, try in two or three attempts, better to go slow. Honestly, as a laid-back player like me, the worst thing to do is suddenly get carried away.
Recently, there's been talk about tax increases and compliance, sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening; the expectations for deposits and withdrawals are changing, and liquidity sentiment is also shaking. As a laid-back person, I think it's best to just be honest: first check the depth, then adjust the slippage, take it slow, and don't gamble with yourself.
