Last night I paid my tuition again... I originally wanted to try with a small position, but I set the slippage too wide, and I didn’t check the pool depth carefully. When the market shook, I chased in with two trades, and only after confirming the execution did I realize I raised my cost quite a bit. To put it simply, it’s not that I was wrong about the direction, but that my order timing was too hasty. The more I fear missing out, the easier I am to get “eaten.”

Looking back, there are only three things: first, check the depth before talking about slippage, don’t fight during those few seconds of volatility; if you really want to enter, just do it more decisively, don’t split the orders like you’re tug-of-war with yourself; and also, after lowering my expectations, I feel more relaxed, no longer thinking I have to catch that segment every time.

Recently, AI Agents / automated trading has been hyped up again, but the more I see, the more I want to focus on safety: who has the permissions, whether the contract has been audited, what the failure paths are... Anyway, I’ll first write down what I can understand in my notes, and if I don’t understand, I won’t trade. That’s it for now.
