Last night I was once again foolish: I wanted to copy a small rebound, but I kept clicking and clicking, and the slippage directly woke me up. To be honest, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s that I didn’t look at the depth; my orders were so thin they were like paper, and I still used market orders to rush in, with the transaction price drifting all over, and when I tried to average down later, it became even more urgent, completely messing up the rhythm.
Looking back, there are only two things: before placing an order, first glance at whether the order book is thick or thin, don’t just focus on the candlestick chart; if you really want to enter, split it into several trades, being a bit slow isn’t deadly, impulsiveness is what kills. By the way, I want to complain that now many on-chain data tools and tagging systems are criticized as “lagging / potentially misleading,” which I can understand. They look like they have a crystal ball, but in reality, that critical second still requires your own judgment. I no longer believe that “one tag can explain everything,” so let’s just accept it for now, learn from setbacks, and grow wiser.
