I just reviewed that failed trade from yesterday, and honestly, it’s not “bad luck,” I was just too impatient. I clearly set a slippage that looked pretty safe, but the pool depth was just like that, and once the order came in, it was eaten up in one bite, and the actual trade kept sliding away… I wasn’t convinced at the time and wanted to add another order to bring the average price back, but the rhythm got messy, and the more I chased, the more I lost, it was pretty awkward.

Recently, everyone has been comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products together. I also envy that feeling of “lying down and earning yields,” but then I think: the returns look stable, but the bridge at the entrance, the liquidity layer, and that slippage setting—any one of them going wrong could be a big problem for me. Let’s take it slow for now, and next time before placing an order, look at the depth a couple more times, split the orders, and don’t fight with myself.
