Today I learned a lesson from myself: it was clearly a small order, but I stubbornly didn’t believe in bad luck, thought it was too troublesome and went straight for market price, and as a result, the slippage was like a “temporary agenda item” suddenly added in a meeting, pressing people to the ground and rubbing. Depth usually looks quite thick, but when you actually place an order, you realize liquidity can play hide and seek… To put it simply, I just didn’t time it well, wanted to eat it all at once, and ended up eating myself.

Recently, I’ve been talking about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets jumping around wildly. I thought I was riding the trend, but actually I was competing with the market for a chair. Looking back: don’t overestimate yourself, split orders, set prices, wait a bit—better to have fewer trades than to pay tuition for yourself.

I need to be reminded: trading is not voting, don’t always think you can “hit it all at once,” on-chain won’t give you a chance to amend proposals. That’s it for now, tomorrow I’ll put my hands back into rational mode.
