Last night, I got a little itchy and placed a trade, originally planning to quick in and out, but I got educated by slippage... The K-line looked pretty smooth, but at the moment of placing the order, the depth was as thin as paper. I even split the order into two parts to chase the trade, which basically raised my cost higher and higher. To put it plainly, my rhythm was off: the market was moving, I was panicking, and the more anxious I got, the more I wanted to "settle it in one shot." In the end, I hesitated for two seconds on the stop-loss, making the loss even uglier.

Today, I give myself a "version update": before placing an order, first check if the order book is thick or not. If it's not thick, then trade less and slower. Better to miss out than to force it. When I want to speed up, remind myself to split the order according to the plan, and not compete with emotions for the direction. Recently, everyone’s been talking excitedly about modular/DA narratives, but I, as a user, am actually pretty confused. Anyway, if you don’t understand, don’t leverage too aggressively... For now, positions are like raising a kid, gotta manage them.
