Last night I still got slapped in the face... I originally just wanted to follow the rhythm of the daily chart slowly, but when I saw the market move, I got excited and acted quickly. I placed a market order, and the slippage directly taught me a lesson. To be honest, it’s not that I misread the direction, but I didn’t look at the depth: the order book was as thin as paper. I even chased in two parts, getting in more expensive each time, messing up the rhythm completely, and finally delaying the stop loss, driven purely by emotion.

After reviewing, there are only two points: for this kind of shallow market depth, it’s better to wait in line with limit orders rather than thinking “it will fill faster”; the order placement rhythm must also align with your framework—don’t use minute-level impulsiveness to execute daily chart strategies. Recently, someone has been using ETF capital flows and US stock risk appetite to explain every candlestick. I also look at that, but when it comes to actually placing an order, the details (slippage/depth/rhythm) are more critical than grand narratives. That’s it for now, making a note of this.
