Today I learned a lesson from myself: I was planning to catch a small rebound, but ended up stepping into a slippage trap. Clearly seeing that the pool’s spread wasn’t big, when I actually placed the order, the depth wasn’t enough, and the transaction price just floated away. The more I added orders, the more it looked like chasing a bus… Honestly, it’s not that the market is against me, it’s that my order timing was too hasty, and I took “seeing the quote” as “the price I can get.”

Looking back, there are only two things: first, check the depth, don’t just stare at that one price line; second, don’t confirm with a single click—split into two orders, wait a bit, it’s actually more stable. I also set up alerts and limits, and my mindset immediately shifted from “I have to catch every second” to “wait until the price hits,” almost like installing a brake on myself. By the way, I thought of the recent blockchain games with inflation + studios + coin price spirals—kind of the same vibe: when the rhythm is off, no matter how lively the system gets, it can’t hold up. That’s it for now, next time I’ll cut down on the show.
