Last night I paid my tuition again... I was thinking of taking a small position to try, but the on-chain guy's depth looked okay, and a single order with slippage directly woke me up. To be honest, it’s not the market tricking me, it’s that I was too hasty with my order timing. If I had split it into two or three smaller orders, it might not have looked so bad; also, I was watching the quotes too little. When the pool is thin, rushing in blindly just gives others an advantage.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading have been getting pretty popular, and I’ve been tempted too, but the more I look, the more I feel that automation doesn’t mean peace of mind. One more step in on-chain interaction adds a security risk, and wallet authorization stuff really shouldn’t be taken lightly. Anyway, I’ll treat this review as practice: first understand slippage and depth clearly, then decide whether to proceed or not. Otherwise, waiting for the “patience” to come with the wind just ends up being me acting impulsively. That’s all for now.
