Last night, I made a small trading mistake, mainly because I was careless: seeing the price move quickly, I increased the slippage, but the depth wasn't enough, and I bought in all at once, resulting in a transaction price worse than expected. To put it simply, I wasn't "scammed," I just didn't see clearly how much was in the pool, and I tried to push through with a market order.
Later, I reviewed it and realized that the order placement rhythm is really crucial: the more rushed, the easier it is to choose the wrong path or confirm incorrectly, especially when the network is congested. Waiting ten or more seconds can actually be more stable. Now I prefer to set a smaller slippage, split the orders into two slow transactions, and if it doesn't fill, just give up—no chasing.
Recently, everyone has been talking about modularization and the DAO layer, and developers are excitedly discussing it. As an ordinary user, I only care about one thing: don’t make every coin swap feel like a lottery… For now, I’ll go back and tighten my default settings a bit.
