I just got educated by myself: I wanted to copy a retracement, but a single market order slashed me into leek juice. I used to think "just a few seconds away," but now I admit that when the depth isn't enough, the more anxious you are, the more expensive it gets. Matching isn't about giving you face. Place orders in stages, eat slowly—it's better to have fewer trades than to drain the pool in one go and then watch the price bounce in the opposite direction, which would blow your mind.
By the way, I thought of the recent NFT royalty disputes, which basically come down to: everyone wants cash flow but is afraid of liquidity being drained. Trading is the same—you can't afford to pay the "tax" of slippage, so don't pretend you're a big player. Anyway, from now on, I’ll prioritize depth when placing orders, not emotions. No matter how heated governance gets, it’s useless—cash flow doesn’t listen to words.
