Last night, I made a mistake out of impatience, and ended up laughing at myself: I looked at the chart and thought "close enough," so I chased in without checking the pool depth first. My slippage was quite loose, and at the moment of execution, I was directly eaten up at a worse position. I couldn't make up for it later even if I wanted to. Reflecting on it, the problem wasn't the direction, but the rhythm: I was too impatient. I could have broken it into several trades, waited for the order book to fill back a bit before entering.
What I regret isn't the result, but the fact that I knew the funding rate was almost extreme, and in the group, everyone was arguing whether it was a reversal or just a bubble squeeze. Yet I still placed the order with the "hurry up and get on" mentality. From now on, I will follow the usual rules: first check the depth/slippage tolerance, prefer to lose a little less, rather than let one impulsive move completely overturn the risk control... That's it for now, to learn a long lesson.
