Someone asked me why I've been hesitating before placing orders lately... Actually, I had a slip-up a couple of days ago: I thought "just add a little to the position," but the slippage was too large, instantly eating through the thin depth, and the execution price was more volatile than the candlestick chart in my mind, turning into sleet. To put it simply, it's not the market tricking me, it's my impatience—I didn't check if the order book was thick enough before clicking.

Later, after reviewing, I realized that the order timing is even more critical than the direction: when the depth isn't sufficient, placing several smaller orders, setting limit orders, and waiting for a confirmation candlestick can save me from paying more tuition fees. Recently, with incidents like cross-chain bridge thefts and oracles reporting outrageous prices, everyone is "waiting for confirmation," and I’ve become a bit more cautious too... Anyway, I’d rather miss out on some opportunities than have my life stolen by slippage again. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the rain gauge tonight.
