I educated myself yesterday: chasing an on-chain order, clearly seeing the right direction, but still ending up with a loss. To be honest, it’s not a judgment problem, it’s slippage + depth not thought through carefully, and I impulsively placed two orders, with the second one directly pushing me to a worse transaction price… At the time, I was only watching the price jump, not paying attention to the liquidity in the pool, and the rhythm was also chaotic.

If I had first tested with a small amount or simply waited for the depth to recover before placing the order, I probably wouldn’t have been fooled by the illusion of “appearing to have completed the trade.” Looking back now, many so-called AI Agents/auto-trading are hyped up, but when it comes to on-chain interactions, the security and execution details are unclear, and in the end, humans still take the blame. Anyway, I’ve learned this time: don’t fight against slippage directly, taking it slow is really not embarrassing.
