I just turned a trade into a "textbook negative example"… I was hoping to be lazy and quick, but the slippage hit me hard and woke me up. Honestly, it’s not that the market was against me, but I didn’t realize how shallow the pool was, and I was rushing to chase that move. My hand trembled, clicked market order, and the moment it filled, I knew it was over.
Looking back: first check the depth before placing an order, gradually add in multiple times, don’t fight with yourself over those few seconds. By the way, I want to complain that those on-chain data tools/tags lately also feel pretty insecure. They seem “smart,” but if they lag a bit or are misled, trusting them can easily distort your actions. Anyway, I’d rather wait longer now and not take the page prompts as fundamentals. That’s all for now.
