Just finished going over a failed trade in a post-mortem. It’s a little embarrassing, but I guess it counts as paying tuition… Back then, I saw the candlestick chart and got carried away—slippage just went straight to the top, so I rushed in. Turned out the liquidity pool depth wasn’t enough, and the execution price got swallowed in one bite. Later I tried to make up for it, but I ended up chasing the dip too, and the rhythm just got more and more messed up. To put it simply, I only cared about “whether I could buy,” and I didn’t check first whether “buying would be very expensive.” From now on, I’ll be more honest: take a quick look at the depth first, then hang a few orders gradually—don’t force your way in during the busiest moments. One more thing: lately hardware wallets have been out of stock, and there are even more phishing links. Now I even have to check the address twice just to copy and paste… The market can be missed, but don’t authorize anything recklessly. That’s it for now.
