Last night I was so stupid: I saw it was about to pull back and grabbed it with a market order, but I got slippage filled all the way through, and the execution price felt like it was separated from what I expected by a tunnel… Only after reviewing did I realize that depth was already thin back then—the order book was like fog; once I stepped in, it collapsed. Even worse, I topped up in two separate times, which was basically posting “I’m really in a hurry” on-chain for everyone else to see.
Why do I always speed up at the exact moment I should be slowest?
Because I treated my emotions as signals, when really they’re just noise.
Now I’d rather break it into smaller orders, wait a few seconds, and let the price move on its own before I follow—don’t chase it right up to the last second. Recently, everyone’s been comparing RWA and U.S. Treasury yields with on-chain yield products; to be blunt, it’s the same idea: don’t just stare at the numbers—the real test is liquidity and the moment you exit. Anyway, I’m paying tuition this time—so for now, that’s it.
