Last night I lectured myself again. I initially wanted to make a small fluctuation, but impulsively chased after the trade, didn't pay attention to depth, and a slight slip turned my "planned loss" into an "unexplainable big loss." To put it simply, it’s not the wrong direction, but the order placement rhythm was too hurried: even though the order book was as thin as paper, I still thought a quick sweep would be more convenient.
After reviewing, there are only two points: first, check the depth before discussing position size, don’t use large orders to prove your "decisiveness"; second, split orders more slowly, wait for liquidity to return before pushing, better to take a smaller loss than have slippage eat it as tax. Recently, there’s been a bunch of new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL, and I can now understand why veteran users complain about "mining, taking profits, and selling." When liquidity dries up, all that’s left is slippage harvesting.
From now on, I’ll slap the word "depth" on my forehead… Anyway, for now, I’ll just slow down my hand speed. Finally, a reminder: don’t fight depth impulsively anymore.
