Today I was so stupid: I made a small trade and ended up with a "failure case review." At that moment, the pool depth was just so-so, and I was trying to save time by going market order directly, with maximum slippage, and the execution price was a bit worse than expected. To put it simply, it wasn't the market against me, but my order placement was too rushed: I didn't split the order to test the waters first, nor did I wait for the limit order to stabilize the price little by little, relying solely on quick fingers to gamble on the probability, and in the end, the odds weren't in my favor.



Thinking back later, economic crashes in blockchain games are actually quite similar to this: when inflation kicks in, studios start to panic, and the coin price spirals downward, depth can't hold up, and slippage becomes like an avalanche... Anyway, in the future, I’d rather spend two more minutes checking the depth, splitting a few orders, and setting a hard limit on slippage, to avoid losing once more. It’s much more reliable than hoping "this time will go smoothly." The real fear isn’t just not making a profit, but forgetting to control the risks that could be controlled.
