Just got educated again by a failed trade... I was planning to take advantage of the testnet's points anticipation to casually switch some positions, still thinking about "Will the mainnet issue tokens" kind of metaphysical question, but in a rush I forgot to check the pool depth first. I set the slippage quite small, trying to save some, but the price jumped and got stuck immediately, gas was wasted too, really doubled the anxiety.



Looking back, it's: don't force it when the depth isn't enough, especially when there are few orders, a slight sweep can cause chaos; don't follow the emotional rhythm when placing orders, split into two or three trades, wait a few seconds to see the transactions go through, it's more relaxing than going all-in at once. From now on, I’ll stick to the usual rule: calculate the cost first, then go all in, points and all... forget it, just survive until I can claim.
