Today I was once again a "half-melted ice cream"… In my rush to chase the hype, I directly placed a market order on-chain, and as a result, the slippage made my face swell. To be honest, it’s not that I was wrong about the direction, but I didn’t check the depth: the order book was as thin as paper, and I chased in two rounds, getting more expensive each time. When I wanted to run, I had to pay another round of slippage, messing up the rhythm completely. Looking back now, there are really three things: don’t force into pools without depth; if you want to enter, split small orders and eat slowly; if you really want to rush, set a fixed acceptable slippage first, or else emotions will lead to “random trades.” By the way, I’ve been watching the recent NFT royalty mudslinging, everyone’s arguing whether creators should earn, but with no secondary liquidity, the first to get educated by slippage are those of us itching to trade… Let’s talk again next time.
