Last night I paid my tuition again, originally planning to do a short-term trade during the big volatility, but I got too excited and made a market order all at once, and the slippage directly pushed my cost up. By the time I realized there wasn't enough depth, the second leg of the chase order started to distort, and the rhythm was completely thrown off. To put it simply, it wasn't that I saw the wrong direction, but that I placed the order too hastily: whether to split it into several trades, or wait for the pending orders to queue and absorb liquidity, I insisted on grabbing that one second.

The most awkward part was that I was also browsing the task platform, verifying various anti-witchcraft measures, refreshing and retrying, queuing and circling... The airdrop season made it feel like clocking in at work, and my mood was pushed even more impatient. Looking back, there's only one thing to say: high volatility can be played, but don't rush orders like you're being driven by a points system to hit KPIs; surviving is more important than quick fingers.
