I'm not very good at doing trade reviews, but today's failed order really woke me up... I just wanted to get it done quickly, but as soon as I opened the slippage, I rushed in hard, and the depth wasn't enough, so I got caught in an awkward position. Later, trying to fix it only made things worse, to be honest, it was just a matter of losing control of the rhythm: seeing the trade go through but not following up, panicking more, and wanting to settle everything in one go.
Looking back now, there are really only two things: don't place orders with the mindset of "I should be able to get it," first check if the pool/order book can actually support it; then split the order into several smaller parts and execute slowly, better to eat less at a time than to rush into low-liquidity areas all at once. Recently, everyone has been watching on-chain large transfers and unusual movements in exchange hot and cold wallets, thinking it's smart money. I’m curious too, but when it comes to placing my own orders, being smart or not is secondary—don't shake, don't rush, that’s the hardest part. For now, I’ll keep doing this, continue being a little guinea pig.
