These days, I've been seeing everyone focus on the unlock calendar to calculate selling pressure, but I'm actually more concerned about another kind of "selling pressure"—MEV and the on-chain front-running. To put it simply, you might think you're executing trades at the right price, but sometimes you're actually competing for position through transaction ordering: you click swap, place an order, and in the end, you get a little more slippage or a little less profit, which is subtle but quite real, especially for small funds, and the fees are also being chipped away.
Recently, I’ve just lowered my expectations: I don’t expect every trade to get the optimal price, nor do I chase the illusion of hitting the "exact lowest/highest point." As long as I can follow my plan gradually, that’s enough. It’s actually a bit more relaxing… Fairness might not have a short-term answer, but at least I can first pull myself out of anxiety.
