Lately, watching on-chain whale addresses really makes me both want to follow and fear getting trapped… Before copying trades, I now force myself to judge: Is he gradually building a position, or does he already have a position elsewhere, and this is just hedging? Others think “whales buying = pump,” but in reality, many times they’re just moving risk somewhere else; if you follow in, you’re just catching the tail gas of their balanced position.

Some people also complain that miners/validators rely too heavily on MEV, with unfair ordering, and honestly, when you see that big order, you might already be caught in a trap. I now prefer to split orders, loosen the time window, and if the depth isn’t enough, so be it. Don’t hard match with bots; rushing is useless… Anyway, just stay alive first.
