Today I once again turned a trade into an "archaeological site": even though the prices looked pretty similar, after a little confirmation, the slippage completely wiped me out. To be honest, it’s not market backstabbing, I just didn’t look at the depth carefully; the pool was as thin as paper, and I was trying to eat it all in one go, the rhythm was also terrible: chasing those small fluctuations, the more impatient I was, the easier I got trapped. From now on, I think I’ll just be more honest, split my entries, and be less impulsive, even if it’s slower. By the way, I thought of the recent upgrade/maintenance of that mainstream public chain, everyone’s guessing whether they’ll migrate, and if liquidity really moves away, these traps where “it looks like you can trade but it’s all an illusion” will only increase. I’m most afraid not of losing money, but of losing it and thinking I got screwed, when in fact I just didn’t do my homework. For now, I’ll keep an eye on that depth chart on the trading interface.
