I just turned off the alarm clock on the desk and casually reviewed last night's trade, and I really laughed at how stupid I was... Seeing a long shadow candle made me want to catch the retracement, so I entered the contract at market price with one click, but the slippage directly sent me to a price I shouldn't have been at. Later I realized that the order book depth was as thin as paper at that moment, and I chased the order twice, which was like helping others lift a sedan chair.



To put it simply, the rhythm was completely messed up: when I should have placed an order and waited for the fill, I was afraid of missing out and switched to market price; when I should have scaled in gradually, I was afraid of missing the move and became more and more anxious. Plus, recently there's been talk about regional tax increases and compliance, sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening, which has caused everyone's sentiment to fluctuate with deposit and withdrawal expectations. Liquidity suddenly disappeared, yet I still pretended the market always gave me "good fills."

Today I added one rule for myself: don't use market orders to fight extreme volatility; first check the depth, and it's better to earn less than get slippage taught. The stop-loss is clean, but this kind of loss was purely self-inflicted. That's all for now.
