Just finished reviewing a trade, not exactly unfair but quite annoying: I initially planned to try with a small position, but as soon as I saw the candlestick move, I got itchy, and when I placed a market order, the slippage completely stunned me... Basically, I didn't look at the depth, the order book was as thin as paper, and I split my orders to chase, messing up the rhythm.


Later, I thought about it, and the discussion about the US dollar index's "rate cut expectations coming with risk assets rallying" was also in my mind, the more I looked, the more afraid of missing out, the more I panicked and pressed buttons randomly.
On my note, I wrote "Place limit orders first, split the orders, leave no room for self-justification," but I ignored it again.
I did follow the rules for stop-loss, but the lesson this time is: not every rally is worth chasing, especially when liquidity is poor, rushing to execute just gives the market a tip.
Tomorrow, I’ll step back first, practice the order placement rhythm again, because only by staying alive can I have the next chance.
