Just reviewed last night's "confident shot"… The result wasn't the market hitting me in the face, it was my own shaky hands. The depth of the pool was only so much, and I even set a biased slippage, thinking I’d quickly get filled, but I got squeezed + pushed the price up myself, half the order filled, the other half at a higher price, making my average cost a joke. To put it simply, if the depth isn't enough, don’t force it; split the orders, wait for some liquidity to come back, and then execute, which is actually more stable.

By the way, hardware wallets have been out of stock lately, and phishing links are everywhere. Before I place an order now, I first check if the contract/link is familiar, then see who’s pushing the hype on the chain. Don’t end up realizing that you’re not trading but actually giving money to others… That’s it for now, learned my lesson.
