Today I reviewed a short-term trade that I lost quite frustratingly: clearly the direction was correct, but I lost because I was too hasty with the order. Watching the candlestick jump, I just went in at market price without checking the depth first, the order book was as thin as paper, a slippage just raised my cost, and when it retraced later, my mindset started to itch—I almost thought about "recovering" it. I later realized that having the wrong rhythm is more deadly than making the wrong judgment, especially when the market is hot; placing two or three small orders slowly, or simply placing orders at a level I can accept, is actually more stable.

In the group these days, there's been talk about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, de-pegging rumors, and so on. When everyone's emotions rise, they tend to trade "immediately"... I also get carried away with the tension, so drinking water before the market opens is really not just for show. By the way, my friend watching me review said one thing: you're not losing because of technique, you're losing because of haste. Hmm, I admit it, I’ll first pull out this thorn called haste.
