Last night I made a stupid move, seeing a large transfer in the pool made me itchy, thinking it was "smart money" paving the way again, but I rushed in and the slippage woke me up... To be clear, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s that I didn’t look at the depth carefully. When liquidity is thin, your single order is like wrestling with a curve, the price is pushed around by you, and who’s to blame?
Looking back: First, don’t focus on transfers and hot/cold wallet movements to imagine a story, there are many on-chain actions; second, the order placement pace really needs to slow down, split into several parts to probe, and first feel the transaction feedback; third, don’t just write "can execute" for slippage, that’s giving the emotional green light. Today I’m a bit down, but it’s okay, at least I paid another tuition fee, and next time I should cause fewer troubles.
