Recently, I've been watching on-chain sandwich attacks and arbitrage a lot, and the more I watch, the more I feel: you think you're catching opportunities, but in many cases, you're just giving others transaction fees. Especially when the market gets volatile and you want to rush in, but as you go through routing or loosen slippage, you end up being a step behind and taking fewer hits.
Lately, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and there are so many phishing links. Everyone suddenly starts talking about security... I do too, preferring to be a bit slower, first checking if the domain name and address are correct, and reviewing the signature content before clicking. Anyway, my current strategy is pretty simple: I don't chase the one-second trades, place orders in batches, avoid large market orders, and if I can avoid rushing, I do. Slowing down makes it feel like I’m trading for myself, not working for MEV.
