Last night I paid tuition again: thinking of making a trade during the volatility, but the slippage woke me up directly. My past self would see the candlestick move and place a market order, comforting myself with "just a little more," but looking back now, honestly, it was because I didn't look at the depth, rushing to get in. When the pool isn't deep enough, the order gets eaten layer by layer, and the average transaction price is way off from my expectations... The timing was also a big problem, chasing the ups and downs to place orders, the more I chase, the more passive I become.

Recently, everyone has been interpreting ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market rises and falls together. I also pay attention, but when it comes to placing an order, what really determines whether you lose or not are those very basic details: now I prefer to split into smaller orders, set the price first and wait, if it doesn't work, just give up, don’t fight the market head-on. I don’t know if a volcano will erupt, but at least don’t let your own hands blow up first.
