Last night I stepped into a trap again, I originally wanted to take a small position to test the rebound, but I placed the order too hastily, focused on the candlestick chart and forgot to check the depth, resulting in a slippage, the transaction price was worse than I expected, then I panicked and added another order, which basically magnified my "loss"... To put it simply, it wasn't the market trapping me, it was my own chaotic rhythm.

Looking back, there are only two points: first, don’t force trades when liquidity is thin, placing orders and waiting patiently is more like trading; second, splitting orders feels more comfortable than going all-in at once, leaving room for maneuver. There was also a small episode, in the group chat, people were sharing screenshots of stablecoin regulation/reserve audits that are “about to de-anchor,” the more I scrolled, the more anxious I got, and as a result, my hands trembled even more. From now on, in such times, I’ll mute the group for ten minutes first, check the market funds and order book, then decide whether to act or not, just like that.
