I just made a stupid mistake again... I was trying to save time with a quick order, but the slippage was too large, and the pool depth wasn't enough. As soon as I pressed confirm, the execution price just floated away. By the time I realized it, I couldn't catch up anymore. Basically, I was too hasty with the order, seeing green and wanting to rush in, without splitting the order into smaller parts first.

Now I kind of understand why everyone has been saying "wait for confirmation" lately. Over on the bridge, there are frequent thefts, or oracles sometimes glitch and report outrageous prices. On-chain, this system prefers to be slow rather than force a trade. Anyway, from now on, I’ll check the depth first, set tighter slippage tolerances, and place orders in batches. If I get stuck, so be it... just call it a day. We’ll talk again next time.
