Last night, feeling a bit impulsive, I made a small trade and ended up learning a lesson about slippage: the K-line looked smooth, but at the moment I confirmed, I realized the liquidity pool wasn't deep enough, and the price slipped away like stepping on a banana peel... Basically, I was too hasty with my order, wanting to "eat it all in one bite," and the more impatient I was, the more I lost out.
Later, I reviewed it and decided I’d rather place orders in several smaller steps, even if it takes longer to fill, at least I can keep my composure.
Recently, during airdrop season, everyone is grinding on task platforms like working a full-time job, and when anti-witching measures come, it makes us even more anxious. I almost got caught up in that atmosphere and sped up myself.
Anyway, I set a rule for myself: don’t compete for those few seconds of hype, first check the depth, then act; stand in the fog for a moment, then come back and place the order.
