Today I got caught in a trap on the chain again. I clearly clicked "acceptable slippage," but at the moment of the transaction I still wanted to sigh: I thought I was catching arbitrage, but it turned out I was more like paying others' fees. To put it plainly, the "spread" you see might be a trap set long ago by bots; once you chase in, they conveniently turn you into a sandwich cookie.

Recently, everyone has been talking about staking unlocks and unlock calendars. When the selling pressure anxiety comes out, my sensitive hands become even more itchy to run early, making it easier to be targeted by sandwiches... I can only force myself to slow down now, prefer to miss out on some "opportunities," rather than turn every order into a public execution. For now, I’ll do that, and go back to review my reckless trading records.
