I almost laughed myself to death just now... When copying the address, I accidentally clicked one too many times, and only realized it was wrong after clicking confirm on the transfer page. I quickly canceled and started over, my heart pounding. Later, I thought about how today’s trade actually also went wrong: I looked at the pool’s surface price and thought it looked good, but the depth was as thin as paper. When I increased the slippage, the trade was instantly "educated." Basically, it was still because I was too hasty with the order placement, taking too big a bite at once. Placing two or three smaller orders would have been more stable.
By the way, I also thought about the recent NFT royalty disputes—creators want to get more, and secondary markets want more liquidity. It all sounds right, but when liquidity tightens, people are more likely to raise slippage or take shortcuts, and in the end, the ones who pay are the most impatient traders. Anyway, I’ll just set my default slippage a bit lower, prefer to place a pending order and wait a bit, rather than being caught by my own quick fingers again.
