Last night, out of boredom, I chased a small rebound, and ended up getting educated by slippage... Watching the candlestick chart, I thought my order was the only one left, but after placing it, I realized the pool's depth was as thin as paper, and the execution price just drifted away. Looking back, those few large on-chain orders completely blocked the way, and I still forced my way in, messing up the rhythm.
To put it simply, slippage isn't "transaction fee"; it's more like a sudden change in weather: you think it's light rain, but a gust of wind comes and flips your umbrella. For such assets with average liquidity, it's better to place small orders to test the waters, split into several bites, rather than going all in at once. Recently, the combined yield from staking and shared security has been criticized as "nested," and I can relate—more layers mean more risk and slippage, which are invisible most of the time, but when something goes wrong, they amplify together.
First, go revoke those useless authorizations, and by the way, save a screenshot of this transaction record.
