I just had a little lesson from myself: thinking about copying a small rebound, but ended up stepping into a slippage trap... I thought a quick click would execute the trade, but in reality, there wasn't enough depth, and the price was pushed up by myself. When I checked back after the trade, the average price had already cracked. Basically, I was too impatient with my order, didn't split it into parts, and didn't check how thick the order book was—rushing like catching an elevator door.



Recently, that mainstream public chain has been upgrading/maintaining, right? The group is all guessing whether the ecosystem will move. I also got the itch to ride some of that sentiment, but during times like this, liquidity is even more volatile, and a thin order book makes it easier to be "stolen" by slippage. From now on, I’ll be honest: small orders to test the waters, split into several parts, and don’t rush in when everyone is crowded.

I personally trust data more—at least depth and trading volume won’t go crazy with my emotions; intuition, on the other hand... is easy to mistake “wanting to win” for “being able to win.” Anyway, I’ll keep the leverage in check and keep sharing meme images.
