Last night I made a big mistake, and upon review, it wasn't that I misread the direction, but that I placed my order too "hastily." Seeing the market move suddenly, I thought about jumping in quickly, but I ignored the depth, and when I slammed in at market price, the slippage immediately caused a strong impact. When I looked back, the average transaction price was quite a bit worse than I expected, and my mindset also became chaotic, making things worse as I tried to recover.
To put it simply, in this kind of market, especially now with Meme coins and celebrities leading the trend, attention shifts so quickly that beginners are most likely to rush in at the last moment with a market order. My lesson is: better to be a half beat slower, use order splitting, limit orders, and watch the order book depth, rather than racing against your own speed; also, don't go all-in at once—leave some "parachutes" so that in extreme volatility, you can at least survive and walk out.
