Last night I lectured myself again: I saw the candlestick chart look good and impulsively jumped in, only to step into a slippage trap. To be honest, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s that I didn’t look at the depth; my orders were so thin they were like paper, and I was chasing with two entries, making it more expensive the more I fought. In the end, the average transaction price smoothed out my mentality. Later, during a review, I realized that if my order placement rhythm is half a beat slow, my obsession with “wanting to fill” pushes me forward, and a slight shake of the hand can push my cost basis higher.

Recently, the airdrop season has made everyone feel like clocking in at work. As soon as the anti-witch platform + points system opened, the grab-and-mine crowd got even more intense. I couldn’t help but get anxious too, afraid of missing out or falling behind—bringing this emotion into trading is very dangerous. Anyway, from now on I’ll focus on depth and estimated slippage first. If I really want to trade, I’ll do it in batches and be more restrained; I’d rather eat less than choke on a hard swallow. As for why I still play with these… I don’t need to be understood, I just want to make fewer stupid mistakes.
