Last night I was again too stupid: clearly looking at the pool depth, I still quickly placed a market order, and the slippage directly wiped out my expected profit... To be honest, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s that I was too hasty with my order timing. Later, after reviewing the replay, I realized that placing several smaller orders and waiting a minute or two to let the market breathe might not have looked so bad. Anyway, this time I’ll take it as a tuition fee, reminding myself not to equate “being able to execute” with “worth executing.”

What’s more annoying is that in the group these days, they’re again talking about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various “de-pegging” rumors. When emotions run high, I almost uninstalled my trading app to hide away. In the end, I held back, turned off group notifications, and set a small rule for myself: no depth, no plan, no order. It’s okay to be a bit slower, at least I won’t be slaughtered by my own quick hands.
